Beautiful Burgundy Farmhouse
La Ferme de La Lochere is situated next to a trickling stream, which bares the same name. With a view out over rolling countryside to the top of the valley, it’s a glorious way to greet the day.
This newly renovated, and lovingly restored 400 year old property was once part of the Chateau of Marigny just a stones through away.
With 20 years of experience in restoring old buildings La Ferme de la Lochere is one of the finest examples of craftmenship and dedication and provides you with a spacious and comfortable setting to enjoy your holiday. Giving you all the conveniences of modern living whilst preciously guarding the heart and character of this gorgeous building with its arched windows and pigeon towers.
The Majestic Ferme de la Lochere
When you arrive at, ‘La Ferme de la Lochere,’ you will immediately notice the vast doors of which there are three. Handmade in oak by local craftsmen, stretching upwards 3m high by 4m wide, they caste brilliant sunlight into the ground floor which is just over 200m2, paved in flagstones, with a majestic stone staircase sweeping up to the 1st floor.
Ground Floor
- The entrance hall is spacious and rises up to the eves, which is lit with soft lights from 2 Morroccan Lanterns suspended from the ceiling. Following through past the stone staircase, which is situated on your left, you will be taken round and into the vast sitting room with its handsome fireplace and large, really squishy sofas, heaven at all times of the year!
There is a very practical hand carved oak table big enough to seat all guests and children. Again there are 3 Morroccan Lanterns to bath the whole area in soft coloured light rising up to the roof. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the owner is a professional Chef, (she is available for cooking demonstrations and can provide meals, if booked in advance). Full of everything you will ever need with a professional cooker for those who wish to practise being the next Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver!! - From the sitting room/dining room you will be led out through the arched oak doors into a flowering garden. Stylish garden furniture, water feature and BBQ are provided.
- The 1st of the 5 bedrooms can be found on the Ground Floor, 30m2 in size with its own bathroom. For those who prefer the ground floor it’s ideal. Tastefully furnished light and airy is the theme for this and all the other bedrooms, which are the same size and bigger!
First Floor
- Going up to the 1st Floor will lead you to a large mezzanine area and to the right are 2 bedrooms, both with bathrooms and lots of space.
- The 3rd & 4th Bedrooms can be found to the left of the mezzanine.
