Property description
Coulonge (Price includes all legal fees)
Coulonge is a rural idyll comprising a three bedroom house attached to a two bedroom gîte. The properties look out on to a beautiful private courtyard leading to outbuildings, pool area, garden and paddock.
Both the house and gîte have been fully and tastefully restored and are offered for sale ‘rental ready’ having benefited from being newly furnished and re-equipped to an exceedingly high standard during 2007.
Subject to planning consent, the property offers further development/investment opportunities to renovate the barn and potentially offers scope for camping.
Below are recent comments from guests:
“just returned from a wonderful week and all worked out fine. What are your rates for next year we are thinking about the same week ???” – Linda Bourne
“Rather than post the survey I thought I’d e-mail it – I hope that’s OK with you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the one thing that was really noticeable was that it was a real house rather than a twee cottage ie you could tell that someone used and enjoyed it themselves rather than just buying a property and furnishing it on the cheap. It is a lovely property – renovated and keeping its character, but with modern style and comfort.” – Julie Leonard
“Hello, we got back home on Saturday after a wonderful stay at your gite.
The house and grounds were lovely, as was the swimming pool. Everything was much larger and brighter than your pictures suggested, they don't do it justice. All of the villages around were very nice, we spent a lovely day at Bagnole de l'orne with lunch and a ride on the pedaloes.” – Gill Dale
