Les Clotures

Les Clotures is situated midway between Limoges and Poitiers in the Haute Vienne. This delightful house forms part of a former farm complex of houses and barns which dates back some 200 years. We are situated on the edge of the hamlet of Les Clotures, which is in the commune of Lussac les Eglises. Here you will find local shops, a Supermarket and a Boulangerie etc. Supermarkets are also at Magnac Laval 13kms, and at Le Dorat 15kms.

This 18th century house has been beautifully restored and retains all the original features including oak beams and stonework. The large kitchen/dining room has a massive fireplace with "set pot" niche and a huge oak beam which was itself reclaimed somewhere in antiquity. The granite floor probably came from the same source. The fully equipped kitchen was totally renovated this year (2001) and has fridge, gas hob, electric oven, electric kettle, plus all the crockery and utensils. A washing machine and tumble drier are also available. There is a downstairs W.C. off the rear entrance hall. The large lounge with a woorburning stove has two suites(bed settees) and satellite TV/radio, so you can still "wake up to Wogan" or, the kids can watch cartoon network in English should you wish to do so! There are two large bedrooms with real oak floors and beams, both have double beds and one also has a restored antique double childs bed measuring 1.8m x 1.2m. The bathroom has a shower, wash basin and W.C. Outside there is a private patio area to the rear of the house with ample garden furniture, there is a stone built barbecue in the garden shared with your hosts. We also have ducks, geese(friendly), and chickens in the two acre garden ending with the river in the trees. All prices quoted include electric, gas, linen and logs for winter fuel. The English owners will be on site to answer any questions you may have and to help you with restaurants and local places of interest should you wish them to. Please note that the gîte is only available to those who prefer not to smoke. If you would like to make a firm reservation please complete our Booking Form.
