Beautiful 3 bedroom barn in large private gardens, with heated swimming pool

Grange Pierre has been lovingly restored to create a perfect holiday location from what was originally three separate but attached buildings. The delightful three bedroom Grange Pierre is spacious and traditional and is attached to the the six-bedroom Farmhouse. Tastefully furnished and equipped this property can sleep up to 6, with space for one cot if required, in addition. The large heated swimming pool (10m x 5m) is always a big hit with any group. Next to the pool there is a large pool-house which can seat 16-plus for dinner, and contains two fridges for chilling those essential day-time or evening drinks. The pool-house also has a large charcoal barbeque. The pool lies within large and lush grounds - beautiful old trees and spacious lawns surround the property. In all, there are over two hectares of grounds, with a local farmer farming the adjoining field. There is a small shaded terrace area for the private use of the Grange.
The property is beautifully appointed with highly quality furniture and furnishings and the houses are child-friendly - no need to feel that the kids can't enjoy themselves for fear of damaging something, although please take care with very small children on the steep staircase to the Grange Pierre. A stair gate is available on request.
The kitchen is well appointed with a full range of equipment and utensils to keep the domestic chef happy! A large capacity range cooker is ideally suited to catering for all the guests.
Nearby, Mirepoix is a town of 3,500 people, but is bursting with activity throughout the summer, including cultural festivals and fete's. It has a large number of restaurants and bars - more than most people could possibly visit during a two-week holiday! It also has a range of small and unique shops and a number of antique shops and flea markets - something for everyone.
Slightly further afield is Carcassonne, the world famous Unesco World Heritage site, founded in Medieval times and a centre for Cathar history. Numerous other Cathar castles dot the landscape and lead to the Pyrenees to the south. Vineyards abound within 20 minutes of Pouroutounat, and only a few minutes walk away is one branch of the famous and ancient Chemin de St Jacques - the pilgrims way to Santiago de Compostella on the NW coast of Spain.
Pouroutounat is a fabulous location for large family groups or reunions, groups of friends or common-interest groups (walkers, cyclists, nature lovers). You will go away feeling relaxed or re-energised - the choice is yours entirely.
