The Old Forge is a large house situated in the centre of the village of Le Vivier in the foothills of the Pyrenees, The house was once the village forge and tobacconist's shop. The buildings are of local stone and date from the 16c. The buildings and courtyard face south and are very light and airy.
ACCOMMODATION
Entrance is by a spacious walled courtyard (approx. 23'x 23'). There are flowers round the walls and a tiled area where you can sit out or have a B.B.Q and room to park a car.

GROUND FLOOR:-

Forge room- This room was once the old forge and has recently been converted to be the main sitting room. The main door opens directly onto the courtyard and another door leads to the cellars (with washing machine and toilet) and the stairs up to the first floor. The sofa can be used as an extra single bed for large parties.

FIRST FLOOR:-

Kitchen/living room - with large beams and open Catalan-style fireplace (complete with barbecue). Pleasant views over the village to church and castle. There is a large refectory style oak table, 6 ft. 6 by 3 ft. 6”. where the whole family can sit around helping to prepare the meal and with ample room for ten people to sit down to a meal together. We have recently installed a large new gas cooker and a large fridge freezer. There is a double drainer sink, and ample storage space for food and crockery. There is crockery and utensils for up to 10 people and it is very well supplied with all the necessary cooking utensils for a large party. There is a variety of additional chairs and two tables in the cellar which can be used outside on the patio or on the balcony. French windows open on to a small balcony where you can breakfast or just sit in the sun (sits 4/5 people with table and chairs).

Bedroom 1 - off living room, original French double bed (4'),wardrobe and two seater sofa. Corridor off bedroom 1 leading to

Bathroom 1 - bath, shower cubicle, toilet and washbasin. This is a completely new bathroom and very well fitted out.

Bedroom 2 - French double bed (4'), wardrobe and writing table with large windows looking out over village to church and countryside beyond. There is a folding bed in the wardrobe which can be used anywhere in the house and is reasonably comfortable.

TOP FLOOR:-

Bedroom 3- Attractive attic room with French double bed (4'), wardrobe and chest of drawers. Pleasant views over the village.

Bedroom 4- Attractive attic room with original beams and two single beds, wardrobe and small chest of drawers. Pleasant views over the village.

Bathroom 2 - Shower, washbasin and toilet. This is the original bathroom somewhat improved but not as posh as the downstairs one

Bedroom 5 - This bedroom is newly constructed from the original attic where the tobacco leaves were hung to dry. There are two new single beds, tiled floor, pine ceiling, wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is a small window looking out over an orchard.

Games Room- This is a large attic room (Approx. 22 ft. by 12 ft.) with a
Folding table tennis table, dartboard (best to bring your own darts). The room still requires some work to make it really comfortable and civilised but it is fine for table tennis etc. and for children to retire to when they want to escape from the adults.
Out of season we can shut off the top of the building to provide a spacious and very reasonable let for two to four people. This is a wonderful area out of season if you want to get away from it all and enjoy a temperate climate, even in November, and enjoy many days with brilliant clear skies. If you are an Artist or outdoor enthusiast then this is the place for you.
