Property Description

Plum Tree is and ideal family cottage set in an idyllic location, rural but near to village, towns, Mont Saint Michel, water & floral parks, something for all the family. It is comfortably furnished and has the added advantage of a heated pool a 14ft trampoline with safety nets and over 2 acres of secure gardens.

Living Area

The ground floor consists of an open plan lounge/ kitchen /dining area, so Mum doesn't feel left out of the holiday and stuck in the kitchen. The comfortable lounge/ dining area has a log burner, some granite walls and exposed oak beams. There is a CTV, DVD player and a hi fi. There are patio doors to the front garden. The 1st floor has a shower room and 2 bedrooms, a large double bedroom and a bedroom with bunk beds both with granite walls and exposed oak beams. The front bedroom has views over the front garden & undulating fields. There is electric heating in all the upstairs rooms for the winter months.

Kitchen Facilities

The well equipped kitchen has a full size gas cooker, fridge, washing machine and microwave. The back door leads to a covered veranda and out into the back garden and pool area.

Outside

There are two and a half acres of gardens with open views over undulating farmland. There is a private patio area for each cottage with garden furniture, seating, sun canopy and a BBQ. There is also a communal patio area which has a brick built BBQ, the ideal place for parents to get to know one another, while the kids play. We have had many an enjoyable evening with a BBQ and a few drinks. The heated above ground pool is made of teak to fit in with the surroundings in the orchard, it is 6x4 metres and 1.5 metres deep. The pool is open from May - September. The gardens are the ideal place to relax by the pool, have a picnic under a tree, or just sit and read a good book while sipping a glass a wine. There is a 14ft trampoline with safety nets, badminton, swings, boules pit, swing ball, football net, and basketball in the gardens, along with numerous games. In the covered veranda area there is table soccer, table tennis and a darts board and lots of other toys. The gardens are large and safe enough for children to play. whilst we consider our accommodation to be child friendly, good parental supervision should be shown at all times. For the comfort of our future guests, smoking is permitted in outdoor areas only. Just down the lane there is an 18 km Patrimoine walk through lovely countryside.
