DESCRIPTION

Just 20 minutes from Dijon, the historic capital of Burgundy, this remarkable 15th- and 16th-century manor estate, with its dovecote and outbuildings, is nestled in the heart of a mature, unspoilt park.

Carefully restored throughout, with constant attention to showcasing its original architectural features, the 600 sq m home is now in very good condition and reflects the refinement of its era.

The ground floor opens onto a beautiful kitchen with a monumental fireplace, a spacious dining room and a sitting room also featuring a fireplace. There is also a cosy winter sitting room in a conservatory, with generous views out over the park, a reception room and a fitted storeroom. Two ground-floor bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, complete this level and offer welcome everyday comfort.

A magnificent spiral staircase, an authentic testament to the skill of bygone builders, leads to the first floor. This level comprises five bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as an attractive billiards room heated by a pellet stove, making it an inviting space in every season. The attic, which could be converted throughout, offers further space with plenty of potential.

The property also includes a recently renovated, detached stone cottage comprising an open-plan sitting room and kitchen, a bedroom and a shower room, together with an attractive barn offering exciting scope for expansion. The 16th-century dovecote has been converted into an elegant and comfortable duplex, providing a unique setting steeped in history.

The beautifully landscaped grounds include a swimming pool and a tennis court in need of refurbishment. There are also three vaulted cellars and parking for six vehicles. An ideal, characterful property, equally suited to an exceptional private residence or to continuing the established tourism business.
