About this property
'SERENDIPITY' Charming 2-bedroom cottage in lovely Domfront en Poiraie with WiFi
Surrounded by 'green' and nature. Looking for peace and quiet and a sense of isolation in a charming, modernised house? Then 'SERENDIPITÉ' is for you.
Situated on a rural lane officially known as 'LE MARAIS DE ROUELLÉ' it is the last house in the village and the first on an ancient countryside trail, dating back to the 11th century.
Standing alone on the lane with a large, semi-circular, ornate front garden a couple of strides away with a larger garden at the rear. Comfortable, cosy and welcoming.
All the rooms have been modernised but the house still retains it's 'bygone era' charm.
The lounge has 3 seater and 2 seater settees that form their own space around the fireplace and the television.
The original oak stairs are in the corner of the room and underneath them there are coat hooks and a shoe cupboard.
The dining area is on the other side of the lounge and has a large dining table with 4 matching, ornate chairs.
The kitchen is accessed from the lounge (through a door) and is fully equipped with everything you need if you have gastronomic tendencies.
There is a utility room through another door off the kitchen which has a toilet and hand basin, washing machine and drying facilities.
There are 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs (with double beds which are bright and airy. They both have wardrobes, chest of drawers and bedside cupboards with pretty lamps.
The bedrooms share a 'Jack & Jill' shower room with toilet and washbasin.
*Please note* The timber-framed section of the house is an old stable/barn and is now used solely by ourselves for storing garden equipment and sit-on mower etc.

About the host
Hosted by Lynda Doreen Brannan

Hi. Mike & Lyn here. We're both from Manchester originally but we met in Blackpool where Lyn was a Hotel Landlady. I was the Estate Agent selling her hotel and, naturally she fell in love with me!!!! We've been together for 25 years and have lived in France for most of that time. We've renovated quite a few properties here in France and 'SERENDIPITY' is the latest one. We work well as a team, with me doing all the work and Lyn taking all the praise lol. We have rented out gites for many years now and it's probably fair to say that we do it rather well. We've had 5 star reviews throughout from our previous ones and we intend to ensure that the trend continues with 'SERENDIPITY'.
Why they chose this property
We had sold our gite business and we moved into our farmhouse. I thought that I had retired but 6 months later Lyn announced that she wanted a little bit more than just gardening so we went in search of a new 'project' with the intention of opening a new gite! That's the problem isn't it? Once it's in your blood you can't stop! We saw loads of properties which were lovely but as soon as we spotted 'SERENDIPITY' we new it was the right one. I remember travelling down the lane behind the Estate Agent and when we saw the house I said to Lyn "If that's it we're having it". It was and we did!
What makes this property unique
The location of the house is what really did it for us. The isolation and peace & quiet is just wonderful. I spent many months working there every day (sometimes alone) and I loved it, and still do. The fact that you can be there and hear absolutely NOTHING man made, just the birds singing, the buzz of the bees and the occasional mooing of the cows is so hard to come by these days and to us is priceless. The reality is that it's not that isolated as the village is just a short walk away but it certainly feels like it is. The garden at the front is lovely (that's Lyn's efforts!) and the huge rear garden with unrestricted views gives you a feeling of space and peace! It's just lovely!
