There is something about this house with its interestingly sloped roof and dormer window that seems to smile at me. It has the feel of a happy house and the self-contained accommodation behind the main house means that granny could come and live here, too.
The front door opens into an attractive vaulted hallway with a traditional charolais tiled floor that continues through to the dining room. The pretty yellow kitchen is well fitted and equipped. There is a sitting room and an office at this level both with wood floors. A lovely oak staircase leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, a bathroom, dressing room and a cabinet de toilet with the potential to become a shower room. It would be possible to convert the attic into further accommodation. Adjoining the house is a boiler room, utility room and garage plus a further detached garage. Independent accommodation at the back of the house offers kitchen sitting room, bathroom and three bedrooms (one on the ground floor). This part is currently let but could be reunited with the main house.
In front of the house is a paved terrace while at the back is a little garden with a small pond and views that stretch across the fields into the distance.
The property is situated in a quiet road within easy walking distance of local amenities. It is in the south of the Burgundy region about an hour and a half from the city of Lyon while Paris is two and a half hours away by high-speed train from Le Creuzot. © |
