Description
La Grange is a conversion of a traditional stone-built barn, maintaining some original features, such as beams and exposed stone walls, in a fully modernised setting. Situated in the old part of the village, close to the chateau of Templar origin and the excellent wine cave, it is well placed to access the many features the area has to offer: leisure/sporting and cultural. The property itself offers comfortable and spacious accommodation in an undisturbed setting, with plenty of parking directly outside. Corneilla del Vercol is a quiet village, but with easy access to major road systems, making it an excellent base for exploring the area, while keeping away from the crowds.
La Grange is excellent for families with children with lots of space both dowstairs and upstairs for playing safely. For late autumn/winter rentals, the house is equipped with a storage heater downstairs and electric convector heaters in the bedrooms. Upstairs in the main living area there are convector heaters and a wood-burning stove.
