Charming village house in Burgundy vineyards

Nestling in the heart of the village of Cheilly-les-Maranges, the house is distinguished by its old-fashioned door with brass locks, rotary stamp, nameplate and handles, which is protected by a glazed canopy.

Inside, visitors are welcomed into a warm space comprising a brand-new, open-plan kitchen on the right, and a through lounge-dining room unit on the left: on the street side, a large window brings in light, and opposite a porch leads to a tastefully landscaped and decorated courtyard, whose high walls will preserve family privacy while remaining cool in summer.

A central corridor leads to a toilet, a bathroom with bath and washbasin and, at the far end, the boiler/laundry room, which can also be accessed via the courtyard.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms overlooking the street, and a spare bedroom with a sofa bed overlooking the inner courtyard. A shower room with washbasin and wc completes the first floor.

The attic space was converted by the previous owners. A new staircase provides access to the two bedrooms that share the vast space thus created. On the street side, the larger (34 m2) is lit by two large Velux windows and will sleep a minimum of 3 people (currently a double bed and a single bed), while the other, measuring 16 m2 with views over the surrounding rooftops and part of the village, will be suitable for a single bed.
