The Mas d’Abricot is a beautiful 200 year old Provençal
farmhouse, full of charm and character, west-facing, with swimming
pool and garden overlooking the medieval city of Grasse. This is
not just a holiday letting property but is home to the owners who
have furnished it accordingly.
The Mas nestles in the countryside
amongst olive groves in a prime residential area to the east
of Grasse. With far-reaching views
one can see the Esterel hills, Grasse and northwards the village
of Magagnosc and the wooded slopes of the Marbrière.
The
accommodation is on three floors with three bedrooms, study,
2 bathrooms, kitchen, utility room, L-shaped sitting/dining room.
The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and have been recently re-furbished.
Whilst the property has a wealth of wooden beams and low ceilings,
and is furnished with antiques which mirror the age of the Mas,
it also benefits from modern conveniences. All bedrooms have
magnificent
west-facing views.
Ground floor rooms overlook the patio surrounded with plants and
welcome areas of shade. On this level in the utility room there
is an American style fridge/freezer, second freezer and washing
machine. Door leads to a covered terrace where there is a tumble
drier and washing line.
The kitchen has its original beamed ceiling
and is decorated with walls half-tiled with daffodil yellow hand-made
tiles. Gas hob,
double oven with grill, micro-wave and dishwasher.
The beamed L-shaped sitting/dining room has large patio windows
with open views towards Grasse. Satellite TV, video, music centre,
CD and radio.
There are two staircases, one leading to a beamed
study with connecting door to the third bedroom. The other staircase
leads to a mezzanine
where there is a separate toilet and pink tiled bath and shower
room. Going to the floor above the mezzanine, there is a double
bedroom, and on the floor above this there is a bedroom with
two double beds, beamed ceiling and adjacent blue tiled shower
room
with WC.
Garden is fenced with electric entrance gate. Mature trees
