Old farmhouse on the edge of a village - Côte Chalonnaise

Old farmhouse on the edge of a village

The valley of the river Grosne extends Northwards from Cluny towards Chalon, passing the chateau of Cormatin. A few miles further on, on the very edge of a quiet village, stands this old farmhouse with 3/4 of an acre of land. The house is at the moment less important in size than the outbuildings, being a living-room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom/WC, built above the usual wine-cellars and accessed by external steps and a covered balcony. There is an attic above the living area. The adjoining barn is extremely large and high (sparking the imagination as to future projects) and beyond it a former stable with flagstone floor and a hayloft above. Across the courtyard another outbuilding with storage area, and a well attached to it. The land is nearly all at the rear, and the view across the valley is pleasant. The main strucutres are in good condition, the existing renovation is simple but has not altered the character of the house, and the entire property, after further renovation and extension, will be a lovely place to live.
