Cluny, Burgundy 71250

In the 19th century this large property, perpendicular to the road, and protected by high walls, was built - and solidly built - by a prosperous notable. Our first glimpse of it is through the gateway, looking past the house and its courtyard to the lovely view beyond, and the large grounds with garden and tennis court. The house's spacious rooms are reached through the large entrance hall with its stone staircase : to one side the salon and dining room both overlooking the garden (and the view) and also the modern kitchen and dining area, and to the other side a self-contained apartment of living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom/WC, plus a storage room. Upstairs, there are two suites - again overlookoing the view - and five bedrooms and two bathrooms, which give the house a total of eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. On the top floor a huge attic with numerous windows. At basement level large cellars, with a boiler room for the central heating. The house has been renovated in recent years and is in very good condition. .The village is large enough to have a good range of shops and services, all within walking distance, yet once the entrance gate is closesd again, privacy re-asserts itself.
