Comfortable, ground-floor-only barn conversion in a quiet rural village. Open plan, light-filled & spacious home with French doors leading to a private walled courtyard and garden with outdoor seating - a safe, enclosed space for dogs (BUT NOT SUITABLE FOR CATS). Perfectly situated for those who enjoy visiting châteaux and other monuments, the vineyards of both northern & southern Burgundy, natural outdoor spaces & walking or cycling (eg. Morvan Park), etc. The space Small converted barn, formerly used to house goats, all on ground level with its own walled garden, 1 bedroom & 1 shower room. Located on the edge of a typical Burgundian village, in a rural river valley with livestock & arable farming, dotted with hedges, woodland & the occasional vineyard on the neighbouring hillside. The rented property has its own stone-walled garden. Converted in 2011, the “Vieille Chèvrerie” is cosy, modern & comfortable, a single-storey holiday rental designed for 2 people. It has a professionally-fitted, fully equipped kitchen, one double bedroom & a shower room with large modern shower. There are no steps into the building or once inside; the design is open plan, with a large living area & plenty of light provided by large south-facing windows & French doors leading out into the garden. “La Vieille Chèvrerie” can accommodate people of slightly-reduced mobility, but the gravel driveway is not wheelchair-friendly & help would be needed to use the shower cubicle. Enjoying the tranquillity of a rural setting, it is nonetheless within easy reach of some important visitor sites, the A6 & A5 autoroutes & Montbard's high-speed TGV train station (journey time to Paris is just over 1 hour).
