Nestled in the heart of a traditional Burgundian village, with picturesque views of the radiant 11th-century Gothic church, this exceptionally charming and enchanting residence is ready for immediate occupancy and has recently undergone renovations. It features characterful living spaces adorned with original décor, complemented by two more modern bedrooms and a bathroom. A courtyard entrance provides access to gardens overlooking both the village and surrounding countryside. Significant attention was given during the renovation process to preserve the historic essence of the property.

Previous owners and occupants have noted that this property was once part of a group of buildings associated with the nearby Gothic church, serving as a dining hall or communal refectory for priests, workers, and senior clergy. The precise year of construction is unclear, but the architectural style of the ground floor rooms suggests they may predate the 18th century. These rooms are in excellent condition, with recent improvements enhancing their appeal.

Access to the property is via a gravel courtyard, providing private parking for several vehicles. The barn and stable are also accessible from this courtyard. Gardens to the sides and rear of the house are accessible from both the house and the courtyard. There are three access doors: one opens directly into the kitchen and day room, another leads to the charming living room, and a third connects the day room to the gardens.

House
Ground Floor: A spacious 44 m² living room features many original features, including a Burgundy stone floor, an impressive stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, wood and stone accents, exposed oak beams, and stone walls that combine exposed stone sections with traditional plaster finishes. This room originally served as the church refectory.

Kitchen and Dining Area: Includes built-in wall and floor cupboards, integrated appliances, shelving, and ceiling lighting. This area also features an additional stone fireplace, originally a bread oven, now equipped with a wood-burning stove. Behind the kitchen, there is a day room that opens onto the gardens.

First Floor: Accessible via a charming oak staircase, leading to a long corridor connecting two bedrooms, both with exposed beams, a WC, and a bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower. This level, formerly the attic, has been remodeled to increase ceiling height while preserving the original beam structure. Roof insulation was also added during the renovation.

The courtyard is divided into two sections; the first, near the road, allows neighbors access to their properties, while the second, parcel number 592, is private for this property.

Gardens: A gravel area in the garden with a water well winds around the rear of the house, providing access to a garden shed and connecting two separate garden plots. One plot is designated for growing vegetables and includes a terrace for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the other features a lawn with vibrant, well-maintained flower and shrub borders. A paved path separates the gardens, both offering superb views of the surrounding countryside.

Outbuildings: A 50 m² stone structure comprising a storage barn or garage and a former stable.
