La Folie is a holiday cottage in the northern Dordogne, France. The house has been renovated over 4 years from a near derelict state to a comfortable standard. The cottage had been uninhabited for several years, and then only the two ground floor rooms were in use, with the upper floor being accessible only from the barn and used for storage of walnuts and hay. All the original features have been kept where possible, and local chestnut and oak used in the renovations.
The cottage comprises a good size kitchen dining room with large antique oak farmhouse table and wood-burning open fire. The downstairs living room has access through French windows to a patio area, the rest of the garden and the parking area. Upstairs is a snug with an antique French day bed, TV/Video and books (please note: there is no TV reception - large collection of videos only!). A raised landing leads to the bathroom and on to the bedrooms. The substantial main tie beam has been left in place unlike some conversions - see pictures.
Bedroom 1 has an antique French 3/4 double bed, Velux window and clothes storage area. Bedroom 2 has a full double bed, storage and a lovely shabby chic (the real thing!) repatriated antique French washstand. Plenty more clothes storage is available in the bathroom and the snug area.
