Charming property with a 4 bedroom house, barn/garage/ workshop, winemakers house to renovate, cellars and a beautiful garden. Located in a canalside village in the central Auxois area. |
The village and surrounding area are typical of this well loved area of Burgundy. Rolling hillside with cattle and sheep farming, small stone house villages nestled between the hills with tall church steeples gently peeking through and the Canal du Bourgogne gently twisting and turning through the tranquil countryside. The village is tranquil and small and is nicely situated for access to the TGV station at Montbard (20 minutes)and to the medieval town of Semur en Auxois.
The property is entered through a gated stone arch opening to a courtyard leading to the barn, front terrace, main house and garden. The garden is beautifully and naturally laid out with mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants. Walkways lead you down the garden to a ruined stone building with another bread oven (in need of restoration). In addition to the garden, there is an orchard of 873m2 planted with a selection of mature fruit trees within walking distance of the property.
The property is in good general condition with traditional character features; stone fireplaces, 3 bread ovens, wine cellars, oak beams and stone floors and consists of:
Main house:
Ground floor with entry to a 50m2 living room with a stone fireplace, oak beamed ceiling and access to a small terrace which offers nice views. The dining kitchen is fitted with oak floor and wall units and the usual white goods. Access is to the front terrace and views over the small rear terrace to the hillside beyond. There is a small hallway with a toilet/wash basin, a storage cupboard and then leading to a bedroom of 23m2 with a stone fireplace with an inserted wood burning fire and then an en suite bathroom.
The upper floor comprises of two bedrooms of 18m2. The fourth bedroom is part of a 50m2 room which is currently an upstairs living room and office. There is also a bathroom and toilet on this floor.
Barn: 108m2, in two sections with a storage area, garage and workshop and an outdoor area with a tiled canopy to the front of the building.
Stone house to renovate: former winemakers house with a ground floor, and attic making 80m2 of potential habitable area. In the building is a bread oven and a wine cellar. This building would make a perfect guest house.
Cellars: There are two cellars and a laundry room beneath the main house. The cellars are full of character with stone floors and with entry through a stone archway.
The house has gas central heating on the ground floor and electric heating on the upper floor. In addition, the living room fireplace offers an alternative heat system from burning wood. The house offers double glazing doors and windows.
