Sérendipité : Noun: Définition Française : Un heureux hazard

We found our charming gite, 'Sérendipité' by chance and indeed we've always considered it to be ''A happy hazard!''as the French definition suggests!
Being the last house in the absolutely delightful village of Rouelle and standing alone on a seldom used lane this charming traditional stone and colombage property is the perfect place to escape into the breathtaking Normandy countryside.
A simply charming house that has been thoroughly modernised yet still retains a sense of age and history. You will arrive at the gite and park your car(s) on the ample, adjacent. private car park. The gite is accessed from the front door into the spacious lounge/dining room.
Two comfortable, leather sofas are situated in front of the 'stone' fireplace under the gaze of the ornamental stag's head. A tv with English & French programmes is set into a large modified armoire and the fusion of modern technology and olde worlde is disguised by the splendour of a bygone age.
A large dining table with 4 matching chairs is situated on the opposite wall.
The fully equipped kitchen is situated through a door off the lounge and has all the cooking facilities, including all the usual crockery and utensils to be expected. In here you will also find a ceramic hob & double electric oven, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher. Bon Appetite!
Another door through the kitchen takes you into the utility room where you will find a washing machine and clothes racks. There is also a toilet and washbasin in this room.

The original oak staircase winds upstairs onto a small landing area with access to the bedrooms from here.
The first bedroom is a good sized room with a lovely view over the large rear garden, and beyond. It has a comfortable bed (memory foam mattress) with traditional French furnishings including wardrobe, dressing table, 2 comfortable chairs and bedside table. The en-suite ('Jack & Jill') shower room, with toilet and washbasin is accessed through a separate (private) door within the bedroom.
Bedroom 2 is also accessed from the landing and this room has a window overlooking the picturesque front garden. It too has a comfortable (memory foam mattress) bed with bedside tables, dressing table/drawers, wardrobe and comfortable chair. A separate (private) door within the bedroom leads into the 'Jack & Jill', en-suite shower room.

The shower room contains a washbasin, cubicle type shower and a discreet toilet and is accessed from both bedrooms through separate (private) doors.

Both cosy and comfortable with the combination of traditional Normandy charm and the convenience of 21st century living make this a fantastic place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
