Property Description
La Loma enjoys complete seclusion and privacy whilst being within easy unencumbered reach of the villages of both Grimaud and La Garde Freinet, approached via the country lane which used to be the regular link between the two. Its design faithfully follows that of the traditional Provençal bastide and the position of the property is reminiscent of the days when one was able to choose a location in consideration of the elements and the surrounding countryside rather than the often questionable dictates of planning regulations. Access is to the upper ground floor where an impressive entrance hall leads to the principal bedroom on the one side, and the principal guests’ bedroom on the other, each with en suite bathroom and dressing-room. A generous staircase leads down to the lower ground floor: an exceptionally spacious reception area with a fine stone fireplace, open plan kitchen and convenient but discreet access to cloakroom and utility room. Beautifully proportioned French windows lead out the terrace which seamlessly blends with the gardens, gently sloping down towards the vineyard that lies on the southern boundary of the property. The swimming pool was carefully sited to ensure maximum sunshine combined with total privacy, even from the house itself, whilst remaining easily accessible. A self-contained further bedroom, with en suite bathroom, is located to the west of the main house, whilst on the eastern side is to be found a large room, presently used to provide accommodation for numerous visiting adolescents but which would be equally suitable as a study, library, artist’s studio, or whatever suits the whim of La Loma’s future owner… Adjacent to this is a further bedroom with en suite bathroom and independent access. There is in addition a well proportioned covered terrace, complete with fireplace and pizza oven, ideal for summer dining. In essence, this is a property which estafe agents will tell you one just cannot find any more…
