Restored property in the centre of a small Burgundy town
Location
In South Burgundy, on the banks of the Saône valley, in countryside made up of gentle hills covered with small irregular-shaped fields separated by hedges and ditches and vineyards. One of the particularities of this valley is its sunny climate, with very distinct seasons.
Large towns such as Lyon, Geneva, Paris and the French Riviera are easily reached, and have contributed to the strong economic dynamics that exist in this region. A French TGV station provides direct links to Paris (90 minutes), Geneva (75 minutes), and the South of France (Lyon, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille).
The property is set in the middle of a small dynamic town with all amenities (shops, leisure activities and administrative services).
Description
The property is situated on a hill on the edge of town, protected from the outside world by a stone wall. Its extremely quiet, 1.17 ha (2.9 acre) parklands are planted with trees of over one hundred years old. The parklands have a COS, French plot ratio, of 0.60 for half of the surface area.
The dwelling is a sober, balanced building, built in 1870 by a wealthy local family. It comprises a raised ground floor built over cellars, and two upper floors, spanning a total living area of approx. 450 m² (4,844 sq ft).
The main facade faces south. It is symmetrically patterned with large windows.
The ground floor is devoted to reception rooms opening one into another via large double doors. There is an entrance hallway with a stairway leading upstairs, a dining room, a kitchen, a small and a large lounge and a study.
In a wing are an independent studio flat and some utility rooms. Stone floors, diagonal parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, stucco decoration and contemporary wainscoting.
The first floor is divided into two suites. Diagonal parquet flooring, marble fireplaces and natural polished stone bathrooms.
The second floor awaits restoration. It would be possible to create 2 suites or 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
The outbuildings comprise a caretaker’s cottage with a floor surface area of approx. 200 m² (2,153 sq ft); a garage for horse-drawn carriages, stables, a wood shed and a hay-barn, spanning a total of approx. 200 m² (2,153 sq ft).
Our opinion
Although the outside has kept its original appearance, the inside has been extensively redesigned: layouts reorganised, high-tech equipment, high quality contemporary materials blended with old features.
The harmonious result is soberly decorated. It is spacious without being oversized and luminous at all times. The property is situated in the centre of a small, much appreciated town, in which interest can but grow.
