£110,000 Freehold

This is a chance to own a French farmhouse with excellent development opportunities.

The property on offer is a Farmhouse with a large Barn. Planning permission has been approved to renovate both floors of the farmhouse and convert the barns in to 6 one-bed gites or 3 large two-bed gites. This opens up the possibility of letting the buildings out for hoildays if you wish to run your own business, or of course, they could be sold off once finished if you wish to use this as a straight development opportunity.

The property is found right on the edge of a very pretty village where there is a local PO, General Store, Mairie and Village Hall, all of which are easy strolling distance from this home. The village appears to be the size where you'd expect there to be lot of organised village activities, so an ideal place if you're looking to really integrate into true French style living! Furthermore, only ten minutes down the road is the lovely Roman town of Autun, where you will want for nothing, and where also every Wednesday and Friday, you can treat yourself to the delights of the weekly fresh produce markets. You can also enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the many street side cafes and restaurants and if you fancy a little bit of culture, there's always the Autun Theatre or Cinema to choose from. Beaune is also about 40 minutes drive, (where you can pick up the motorway) ~ so you're spoilt for choice.

When you approach the property, you'll see the large gravel courtyard ~ an ideal place for the very popular French game of boules! The property is in fact two separate buildings, one being a 35 x 9 metres detached barn with a great vaulted cave. The other building is the farmhouse, where all the accommodation is on the ground floor, (planning has been obtained to convert the attic, garage/workshop into further living space). There's a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, 3 bedrooms, attic, plus an attached garage, workshop and small stables.

All in all there is approx 2625 m2 of land ~ to the front of the farmhouse and barn is the large courtyard area and then to the rear of the house you'll find the large garden area. Furthermore the property is flanked by neighbouring fields, so you have lovely open views!

We think this property won't be around for too long, as it has acres of potential in a beautiful setting.
