Authentic townhouse with garden and gites.

This gorgeous character property has immediate potential for gite rental or could equally appeal as a large family residence. This charming house has been gently updated throughout to create a comfortable home whilst retaining its traditional features : original oak floors, wood beamed ceilings, and attractive tiled floors, all overlooking a landscaped garden and benefitting from ample garage space.

The house is quietly set in a small traditional market town on the edge of the Morvan nature park, with numerous shops and restaurants within a minutes walk. The Michelin star Loiseau restaurant and spa complex is a 5 minute walk from the house, a large open air public pool, tennis courts and playground is just behind the property. Access to Paris is easy via a bus and TGV from Montbard. The region has lots of tourist appeal with the lakes of the nature park and the Beaune wine region and Dijon all within easy driving distance.

The accommodation is as follows:
On the raised ground floor there is an independent lateral apartment which is currently arranged as three reception rooms, two bedrooms, a kitchen (solid wood units and integrated appliances), large entrance hall, shower room, separate WC. The reception rooms could also be used as bedrooms and vice versa.
On the lower ground floor (internal and external staircases) and with independent access is a bedroom with shower room and kitchenette, leading onto the garden. On the upper floor are two apartments each with a living and bedroom space, kitchen and shower room, one with a dressing room and freestanding bath, along with a laundry room accessible by all apartments. Above is a convertible loft space of around 60m2.
The whole house can be enjoyed as one unit with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, or as the current owners have used it : a first floor year round living accommodation of around 130m2 plus three one bedroom holiday apartments.
The established walled garden is wonderfully secluded with high walls and has shared access to a well, numerous fruit trees, raspberries, strawberries and tomatoes and a herb garden. The solid granite koi carp fish pond adds interest and could be converted to a small summer plunge pool. At night the garden benefits from feature lighting to make the most of the warm summer evenings outdoors.

To the rear of the garden are two garages, offering independent parking for 5 cars (or up to 8 cars if you double park) along with an electric car charging point. The garage doors are automatic, one with a remote so you just click a button and drive straight in. There is also easy and free on street parking on the roads around the house. The garages could be converted into a work space or for seminars or further living accommodation as there is a large loft area above the garage space. A smaller outbuilding in the garden (currently used for storage could also be used to make a home office or art studio or summer kitchen.
Under the house are a series of vaulted caves housing the heating system which is powered by a new efficient fuel boiler installed in 2024. The connected thermostat offers remote access via a phone app, so the heating can be switched on and off at distance. The hot water is produced by a thermodynamic water heater in the cave (two further hot water tanks supply on the upper floor).
The ceramic log burner easily heats the first floor living accommodation and the house is double glazed throughout.

For those interested in the holiday rental side there is a significant revenue potential from day 1. The apartments have been rented consistently over the last 5 years with returning clients, a website and great reviews on booking.com and airbnb, all of which can be transferred to a new owner.
The house is very much ready to come and enjoy without major renovation work so viewing is highly recommended.
