Home description

Les Roses Tremière is a lovely little independant gite and is new to the market having been completely renovated. Set on the resident owner's 7 acre property and surrounded by garden and woodland, it has its own terrace and enjoys good privacy with no window facing the owner's house.  It is just 50 metres from the delightful new swimming pool which is not overlooked by either house. There is very generous terracing around the pool affording views across the local countryside.  Located at the southern end of the Department of Indre in the Region of Centre, the gite really is in 'France profund' offering almost unlimited countryside walking and cycling amidst countless small farmsteads and natural woodland. We can usually make available 2 adult 'mountain bikes' which have had comfortable saddles fitted.

This unspoilt area is also a delight for the motorist wishing to rediscover the joys of congestion free travel long lost in most of the UK. With empty country roads, many dead-straight main roads over rolling hills and ample free parking in most towns you can rediscover stress free driving. For golf enthusiasts we have the excellent 18 hole course at Les Dryades within 10 minutes. Those interested should look at their website. Alternatively we can provide full details of the course with costs etc.

Les Roses Tremière is a lovely independent gîte set in the grounds of our 7 acre property. The complete renovation of the property having been completed in August 2008, offers a truly rural setting combined with the comforts of modern living for 2 to 4 people. The gite benefits from electric central heating and instant hot water ensuring trouble-free comfort whatever the outside temperature and making it an ideal place to stay at any time of the year. My wife and I (both English) are on site all year to make sure everything is clean and working.

South facing double glazed French windows leading onto the terrace. Double glazed window looking east looking out onto woodland. Master control for the heating. Electric fan.

Outside

Guests have at their disposal a newly installed outdoor pool which is heated to extend the swimming season. The very generous terracing around the pool amounts to over 100m² offering ample space for relaxation on the sun loungers either in direct sun or under the elegant shady canopy. This delightful pool is set some 50 metres away from both the gite and our own house and is completely private from these and any other property.

The tiled terrace is approx. 5m x 3.5m and enclosed by a low wall (good sitting height). Facing south, the terrace will capture sun all day and has a delightful garden view. An oval table (can seat up to 8) and 4 chairs are provided for enjoying summertime meals and drinks alfresco. A large charcoal barbecue and drinks trolley are included in the terrace furniture.

About the location

The area is predominantly farming with quiet country roads. With an abundance of greenery, hedgerows and natural woodland it is reminiscent of the best of the English countryside.  Our nearest village (5 mins) boasts a roadside auberge and a first class restaurant together with a small general shop, boucherie and boulangerie.  Supermarkets are available in Aigurande (15 mins) and La Châtre (20 mins) with good street markets in both towns.  In La Châtre it is hard to miss the fact that you are in George Sand land.

Little treasures await discovery here and there such as the picturesque town of Gargilesse or the confluence of the Creuse and Petit Creuse rivers where Monet painted.

For the more adventurous Argenton with its remains of the roman town of Argentomagus, and Bourges with its lovely olde worlde area await. Water sports are available at several of the local lakes but in particular at Vassiviérè, one of the largest in France. Closer to home we have an excellent golf course, Les Dryades with its wonderful views a mere 10 mins away.
