Property Details
Bii1063 In the gently undulating countryside of the Bresse, this property on a hillock has traditionally been called a "chateau". That seems to be overdoing it a bit, but its ancient origins, going back to the 14th century, and its two-storeyed architecture and steep roof, set it apart from the farms and villages of the area. In two acres of land, including a large pond, this brick-built property has some good original features, such as masive old ceiling beams, floor-tiles and stone fireplaces. The recent renovation has been respectful of the ancient origins of the house, but has brought modern comfort in the form of oil central heating, double-glazing and stone floors in keeping with the style of the house. All the living accommodation is at present at ground level : a large kitchen/dining room, living room, two bedrooms, office, bathroom/WC. From a covered balcony an external stairase leads up to the vast attic with its magnificent roof timbers and windows already installed : here, surely, extension of the living area is to be considered. A small separate outbuilding, with a conrete screed already in place, and water and electricity laid on, could be a pool-house, since it is conveniently close to the swimming-pool. This splendid property is only two minutes' drive from a large village with basic shops, and the motorway is only about 15 minutes away, with easy access to Geneva and Lyon.
Price: 495,000€ plus notaire’s fees
