VILLELAURE

House. Sleeps 4.
Swimming pool 10.5m x 5m approx

This newly renovated village house is situated on the edge of Villelaure, a small Provençal village to the south of the Lubéron Hills. The interior is cheerful and has been imaginatively and tastefully restored. The garden and pool are separate from the house and are about 20m away down a quiet lane. In reality, this is a very minor inconvenience but it is the reason why this property is such excellent value for money. There is a poolhouse with summer kitchen which has a hob, sink, fridge, barbecue and garden furniture. There are loungers for sunbathing by the pool, an outdoor shower and a boules pitch. The French owners like to use the pool occasionally but they try to avoid using it when tenants are there. There is a shaded parking space for 2 cars outside the property.

Accommodation
There is an attractive open plan living room with well-equipped kitchen which has a 4-ring cooker and oven and large fridge. There is a dining area and a sofa and a television. There is a bed room with a double bed, and a pretty bathroom with shower and 2 basins and separate WC. There is a washing machine in the bathroom. From the living room, a fairly steep open stairway leads up to a large mezzanine which has 2 beds, both are wide singles, 120cm. There is electric heating.

Situation
The property is situated about 500m from an excellent boulangerie and general store. Villelaure has a couple of other small shops and tennis courts. There are several restaurants at Cadenet, 5km. There is a supermarket at Pertuis which is 7km. Pertuis also has a traditional Provençal street market. The attractive cultural town of Aix-en-Provence is about 23km.
