Former barn in Chinon, near to town, forest walks & cycle paths
Our barn conversion has been a personal project over the last 3 years. Newly available in 2025, and completely transformed from a former goat barn! It’s now been converted to offer beautiful light filled bedrooms, a stunning kitchen which is the heart of the home, a master ensuite, a family shower room and a large living room. You are in the town of Chinon amongst the vineyards- we supply the beautiful accommodation- you make the memories. I will try and explain everything I can about the barn so that you can picture it.
After parking your car directly in front of the property, you walk into the kitchen. The kitchen has french farmhouse original tiles, and is fully equipped with toaster, microwave, tassimo coffee machine, smeg double oven and smeg fridge freezer… basically everything you’ll need for your stay. We think of this room as the hub of the home. It has a ceramic pellet burner, so even in the coldest months it’s still a lovely room to spend your family time. There are double doors that open to your outside garden space.
From the kitchen you step down three steps into the lounge. From here you turn left into the utility room with a slimline washing machine, and through the utility room into the downstairs family shower room with shower cubicle, sink and WC. Back into the lounge which is approximately 28m2 with tiled flooring, woodburner, beautifully furnished, with books and games plus smart TV. You head upstairs from the lounge via the wooden staircase, and at the top of the stairs turn right into the master bedroom.
The master bedroom has a double sleigh bed. The ensuite full bathroom has a walk in shower, toilet and sink.
At the top of the stairs on the left is the twin bedroom, with original stone wall and original timber features. This room has a more contemporary feel, whereas the master is more classically furnished.
Both bedrooms have electric opening velux windows and electrically operated window blackout blinds.
In general, the barn is a beautifully furnished French experience, very warm and cosy and close to town. We offer you bikes to use during your stay & we really hope you’ll enjoy your time with us. Chinon is a beautiful medieval town. Great vineyards, the most amazing history, beautiful architecture, truly fabulous restaurants… we love it- that’s why we never went back to England!
