Once dilapidated and barely standing, the 18th century farmhouse has been brought to life again by its proud (and hard-working!) owners, Belinda and Phil, who moved to France in July 2007 to begin the renovation project. Using the stone la Petite Maison as a starting point, the pair single-handedly re-roofed it and re-built the interior, managing to save the original hand-sawn wooden boarded floor. Phil built a new rustic staircase from a tree trunk, and installed a wood-burner, which kept the resident golden retriever content in the winter months!
Happy with la Petite Maison, which is now available to rent as a self catering gite, Belinda and Phil began the mammoth task of renovating the farmhouse. This also |

| needed a new roof, floors and new windows upstairs, and the interior
had to be thoroughly worked on, making sure that all of the beams still
supported the floors. Whilst maintaining the original features, the
property has been elegantly decorated, boasting quaint beams, wooden
window shutters and sloping ceilings (in the upstairs rooms). After all
their hard work, the couple are pleased to open their doors to guests-
who are sure to appreciate the finished product! |
