we have owned the house since 1987 when we bought a wreck that had not been lived in for many years the last 30 years has been a labour of love devotedly renovating, improving and maintaining it!
in 2013 la tuilliere underwent a major face lift The pool was replaced and a salt water system installed as well an electric hard cover. The old pool room was converted into a separate self contained suite with kitchenette, Italian shower and loo and the pool equipment rehoused in a purpose built 4 bay oak framed garage.
