Dating back to the 13th century this exceptional and charming property in the centre of a medieval town, offers architectural contemporary designs coupled with traditional features and surroundings. |
Refurbished and modernised during the late 1980's with designs by the Italian architect Gae Aulenti, this character property is nicely located for access to Paris at 1.5 hours by TGV train, London at 4.5 hours by TGV train and by road to Dijon at 40 minutes. Set within the rolling hills of the Auxois region you are centrally placed for most of the focal points of Burgundy.
The interior of the property has retained the outer stone walls, the original oak staircase and oak beamed ceilings. The internal fitments are extremely tasteful and of classic design. The exterior offers the most wonderful views across the medieval town, the River Armancon and the surrounding countryside. To add to the splendour you have a heated swimming pool and garden terrace. The house gives the feeling of a large apartment but with the added values of a private pool and garden.
The house consists of an entrance hallway to an open plan equipped kitchen and dining room with a wood floor, oak beamed ceiling and access to a terrace overlooking the medieval town and river. A spacious and cosy living room with a wonderful stone fireplace with open fire facilities, tiled floor, oak beamed ceiling, exposed stone walls and access to the terrace garden. There is also a toilet on the level.
There are two staircases to access the upper floors; the more recent leading to a first floor mezzanine study/office with overhead glass roof giving natural light throughout this area. The second is the original oak staircase that turns and winds from the ground floor to the attic. The upper floor offers 5 bedrooms, 2 with en suite bathrooms and the other 3 designed as a family suite with private bathroom. The attic of 68m2 with its period tiled floor and exposed oak beams is suitable for conversion to further habitable area. Two basement cellars provide an area for wine storage.
The elevated garden of 300m2 with its open views across the ramparts of the medieval town has a lawn, shrubs and plants and a 8m x 4.4m heated swimming pool.
The property is maintained to a high standard, is easy to run and has up to date facilities including: Mains gaz central heating, Mains drainage, floor power sockets and fast speed Internet connection.
