Stone barn conversion, now comfortable six bedroom family home with garden and pool, in village minutes from Chalon sur Saone |
This lovely house gives the feel of a country property, but is conveniently situated in a busy village with shops, minutes from all amenities in Chalon and the A6 motorway.
From the garden and front west-facing terrace, enter immediately into the stunning 100 square metre living room, designed with entertaining and large families in mind. The room has areas for dining, nearest the kitchen, watching TV, relaxing and studying or working. One wall is of exposed stone, the slightly lower level study area has oak beams. A fireplace had been planned by the present owners, and the chimney outlet is already in place. Two large french windows look out onto the garden.
To the right of the salon is the fully equipped kitchen with informal dining area, also with view on the garden.
To the rear of the house there are two ground floor bedrooms, a bathroom, WC and utility room.
The custom-built spiral staircase leads to a first landing/mezzanine area with space for a study. Beyond there is a room the present owners call the 'ante chamber', often used as a guest bedroom, leading on to two further bedrooms and a bathroom with double basin and bath. There is also access to an attic room which has not been converted yet.
Passing back through the first mezzanine area, steps lead to a second higher mezzanine room, and beyond that there is a large bedroom and another attic room where some conversion preparations have been carried out.
The house is well insulated, double glazed, has underfloor heating on the gorund floor and radiators on the upper level. The central heating is fueled by mains gas.
There are connections for broadband internet and digital TV.
The attached barn has a footprint of 200 sq m, and houses a garage large enough for four cars, a games room and a workshop. There is also the same space of 200 sq m on an upper level, should one feel cramped...
The garden, in front of the house, is about 1500 sq m and is laid mostly to lawn, with a flagged terrace in front of the house. The pool area is very private and enclosed, it is situated to enjoy sun all day, half of it is in shade in the evening. The pool itself if 5m by 10m and the pump and filtering equipment is buried underground. There is a wooden chalet-style building for storing poolside furniture. |
