About this property
Looking for something special? You've just found it.
La Marlière is a charming traditional French stone house dating from 1730 set against a sunny and very private garden. Recently renovated to the highest level but still maintaining many of its original features. The house is situated on the edge of the village of Nueil sur Layon in a small commune originally created to serve the adjacent Chateau de la Grise. The village of Nueil is a short walk away and features a small supermarket, bar tabac, pharmacy, doctor’s office, post office, hairdressing salon and, of course, a bakery: can't you just taste those mouthwatering buttery croissants and freshly baked baguettes? The colourful garden is the perfect spot for relaxing with a glass of wine and a book or planning a day out at one of the many nearby attractions. Garden amenities include a stone built barbecue, comfortable seating for 8, deckchairs and umbrellas and outdoor dining table and chairs.Feel free to pick the roses which adorn both sides of the house and help yourself to anything from the abundant herb garden. Decorated with classic French furniture, with an emphasis on comfort, the large Sitting Room features oak beams and a dramatic stone fireplace, comfy sofas and an alternative dining area. A library of books and games is also available together with TV and WiFi. The large open kitchen/dining area features a dining area and sitting area together with all the modern conveniences whilst still adhering to the French philosophy of making this a convivial space where everyone gathers to cook, eat or just relax with a glass of wine. The Blue Bedroom with its high beamed ceiling and decorative fireplace is furnished with classic French furniture, silk carpets and has a walk-in closet. The king size bed is made up with fine linens and there are lots of fluffy towels in the ensuite bathroom ensuring that you get the luxury hotel feel - we even provide toiletries, robes, slippers and a hair dryer. The Coral Bedroom is equally elegant and also has a king size bed (both kings can be converted into twin beds) and walk-in closet. The ensuite travertine-tiled walk-in shower room adds a modern touch of luxury. Windows on either side of each bedroom provide good cross ventilation and views over the garden and nearby vineyards. The bedrooms are separated by a gallery corridor for added privacy and downstairs, leading from the lobby, is a Mudroom with washer and dryer and a stylish little Powder Room. Carefully chosen artwork and objets d'art give the house that little something extra not usually found in rental properties.
