Charming stone wall house and barns : 215,000 €

Description

House for sale in Burgundy

Located in the charming village of Cussy le Châtel (population 119) and offering easy access to the A38 and A6 Autoroutes (Paris 3hrs and Lyon 1hr 45mins) and to the train services at Beaune and Dijon (TGV to Paris in 1hr 45mins and Lyon 2hrs), this traditional stone built house is not only delightful and ripe for expansion or conversion but also very well situated.

Currently on one level with a total plot surface of 2800 m2, this charming house, which is full of character, has a walled front garden with private parking. There is a large rear garden with spectacular, uninterrupted views and vehicle access; two vegetable patches; a large lawned area (800m 2); working water well and a large stone shed, which is ideal for storage of garden tools, as well as a stone built wood storage building with tiled roof.

The house is attached to two large, oak-beamed barns in excellent condition (one with access to the attic areas) and a former bergerie which would make an ideal workshop. These barns could fit 5 and 2 cars respectively; however there is also a garage which houses one car. The larger of the two barns would be ideal for conversion to annexed accommodation (large enough for 3 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining room and living room) and the smaller would be ideal for extension or generous storage. Alternatively, the whole building could be split into three separate dwellings. The possibilities are endless!

The house has 110 m2 of living area with French oak beamed ceilings, wooden shutters, traditional tiled floors and oak double glazed windows.

There are 3 bedrooms, two of which are large doubles (one currently used as a triple) leading off a corridor from the living room (with door leading to front garden and stairs to the attic areas) and the third is a good sized single, leading off the living room. Above, there are three large, interlinked attic rooms, ideal for conversion. One of the attic rooms has traditional sun baked floor tiles.

The traditional French oak beamed living room has a modern craftsman made fire place which is a particular feature of the house. The wood burner is automatic in that it can be self lighting and is also thermostatically controlled. It burns either logs or wood chips and it is capable of propelling heat throughout the house.

There are low cost electric radiators throughout the house as secondary heating should the need ever arise.

At the heart of the attractive kitchen is a beautiful Italian (Corradi) triple fuel professional cooking range/stove (wood burning stove, gas hob and electric oven). Recesses within the deep, exposed stone walls provide excellent storage or display areas. There is direct access to the rear garden (200m2) from the kitchen. A range of freestanding base units provides ample storage. Leading from the kitchen is a breakfast room with further storage and room for a dining table, this room also has access to the rear garden. The breakfast room has access to a further large barn, currently used as a utility room and workshop/study. The bathroom, with tiled walls and floor and a bath with shower over, and the separate WC also lead off the breakfast room.
