As well as the tatty old barn we have to renovate, we also got a pretty little farmhouse (there's a small road between the two properties). The farmhouse looks lovely in the sunshine doesn't it? Inside its got no indoor plumbing save for ONE tap and great big holes in the floors. Nice.
Apparently, it belonged to a couple of old guys who hid arms for the Resistance during the war. We thought this was a bit of a rumour, but have since been convinced by various aged locals that it might be a good plan to get the Gendarmes to search the stone boundary walls for the missing grenade cache......
This looks gorgeous! What are you going to do with it - restore, or make bigger? Maybe you can use any grenades to help "redesign" the sink...
ReplyDeleteThis 'un is going to be a gite. Should be pretty nice when we finish - it'll have a proper pool and everything! It'll have to be for a group of folks who like staying somewhere pretty remote tho!! Bit like Pech Porel eh Karen?? 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and fab views.....
ReplyDeleteOoh yes - get on with it, I have a pressing urge to stay in it now!
ReplyDeleteErrr.... the house isn't due to be finished til 2012.... sorry! Concentrating on the barn for now so we can move out of St Gery and rent our house out!
