Property description

This is an interesting property, an old farm with a lot of land and a huge barn, on the edge of a village a few miles NE of Tournus.
The basic construction is in stone, unlike the half-timbering and brick which is usual in farm buildings in the area, and the renovation, which has gone quite a long way towards completion, has made use of good materials to enhance this above-average character. The entrance hall has a flagstone floor, while the living room is double : two adjoining rooms, each with fireplace, and separated by an ancient but solid partition, and off one of them an office in the former tower. The kitchen is modern in its flooring and plumbing and wiring, but as yet equipped only for second-home needs, and beyond it was to have been the dining room, a large space as yet unrenovated. The storey is completed by a bathroom, WC, second bathroom next to a good-sized bedroom with patterned tile floor. The whole living space could be doubled in size by fixing up the vast attic above, which has some interesting roof timbers. Across the courtyard an immense barn, as yet unrenovated, built mostly in stone, and a splendid project for those who want to create gîtes, or a concert hall, or space for seminars, or an indoor cinema : the volumes are huge and high. Over two acres of land come with the house, sloping down to a stream, and the views are pleasant and rural over the gently undulating countryside.
