Enjoy our newly renovated gite here at La Grange Charton. We have taken care to retain original features of the building whilst creating a modern space. Interior design is a passion of ours so careful thought has gone into each aspect of the renovation. We hope you will appreciate serenity of the surroundings whilst enjoying the stylish and spacious interior. Perfect for couples, we hope you will agree that the tranquility of the surroundings make for the perfect break. Having been newly renovated our gite has been lovingly created with our guests in mind. Your comfort and convenience is important to us so we have attempted to include as many features as possible. You will find an airy, open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with all the facilities you could need including electric underfloor heating. The kitchen, with breakfast bar, is fully equipped as you would expect with an electric 4-burner hob, full sized oven, microwave, kettle and toaster. In the lounge area there is a smart TV with French and UK channels plus access to Netflix, YouTube, etc. The comfortable sofa and armchair provide a cosy spot for relaxing. Free Wi-Fi is provided. The spacious double bedroom provides a calm and tranquil haven which has been tastefully decorated and furnished. Finally, the luxurious shower room provides a large walk-in shower, WC, heated towel rail, vanity unit, and shaver point. For your convenience you will also find an 5kg washing machine. Clothes airer is also provided. Outside you have two garden spaces to choose from. The spacious private rear garden is in full sun from around midday so perfect for catching those rays! It is fenced so provides privacy with thoughtfully placed screens and lots of beautiful planting. At the front there is another area which provides afternoon shade so if you prefer to get out of the sun but still want to be outside, it provides the ideal space. There is an above ground pool for your use but please note, this is shared with us.

As this is our family home, you are likely to see us and our two children around but be assured that every effort is made to ensure disruption to you is kept to a minimum. If you wish to interact with us we are happy to but likewise if it’s privacy you prefer we will l ways respect that too. We have two daughters aged 12 and 5 who are very respectful and well behaved but you may hear/see them from time to time. We have two horses which require lots of care as well as hens so you will see us tending to them at various times throughout the day. Oh and, you may receive a feline visitor from time to time, we have three curious cats who will come for a nosey given the opportunity. Finally, we politely ask that you respect our home and behave appropriately. Also be mindful that we have neighbours so please be respectful of them too whilst still enjoying your stay.
