Full Description


A 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house, with comfortable living areas and a bright veranda overlooking the 471 m2 plot with views over the countryside to the south. Located in the heart of Southern Burgundy, in an agricultural hamlet, a few minutes walk from the village of La Guiche. An ideal starting point to discover the south of Burgundy, the house has been recently renovated by an architect while retaining its original character. It has been kept in good condition and offers comfortable accommodation for a small family or two couples. Immediately habitable as a holiday home, it would benefit from some modernisations for a main residence. La Guiche is just over a kilometre from the house and has a small shop selling bread and some groceries, a restaurant and an indoor swimming pool. A modern supermarket is in Saint Bonnet de Joux, a 10-minute drive away, and Montceau is about a 20-minute drive away. The surrounding countryside is a nature lover's paradise with fields, woods, streams and lakes with open views. Note that behind the property is a cattle farm with daily activity, although this is not a great nuisance. From the garden gate, the house is accessed by climbing a few stone steps to the kitchen, which is simple but functional. The central dining room leads on one side to the first bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, and a shower room with Wc, illuminated by a skylight, and on the other side to the living room with a stone floor and a fireplace. The living room has two patio doors to the 25 m2 glazed veranda which benefits from the sun in the morning and an electric awning to protect it on hot days. It's a great place to share meals with friends and family and it opens directly onto the lawn. From the dining room, a beautiful wooden spiral staircase provides access to a mezzanine. To the left is the second bedroom with many built-in cupboards under the eaves and to the right a large bathroom with bath and toilet and storage space under the eaves on either side. The upper floor is fitted with velux windows with practical electric shutters and is insulated, although the beams have been left exposed to retain the character of the house. The lower floor has single glazed windows and is well heated by an oil fired central heating system whose boiler was replaced in 2009. The roof is in very good condition. The garden has a lovely flat lawn with views over the rolling countryside and stone steps leading to a lower area with shrubs and trees giving access to the cellars and boiler room. There is also a working bread oven. The house is connected to mains drainage and has a good internet connection. A charming property in a rural setting on the edge of a village, with little maintenance.
