Puligny 495,000 euros (exc. kitchen) available Autumn 2009

Set around its own south-facing courtyard, this charming Burgundy house is a perfect ‘lock and leave’ property, with three well-appointed bedrooms an impressive view from the first floor terrace onto the gardens of the Chateau Puligny Montrachet.

It is situated on a quiet road near the centre of the village just 300m from the Place du Monument, where you’ll find all the pleasures of the ‘real France’ – a loaf from the village boulangerie, a glass of wine at the cafe/bar – or a meal at a fine restaurant.

The house has undergone a major refurbishment. The roof has been completely rebuilt, fully insulated and carefully finished with authentic reclaimed tiles. The stone walls have all been sand blasted and rejointed. The original oak frame has been treated and has been finished in beeswax to enhance the natural colour.

The living spaces we have created are spacious and light. From the courtyard, the original stone stairs take you up to the entrance door and raised terrace. The entrance hall opens into the large living room where a typical Burgundy fireplace has been restored to working order. The kitchen/ dining area links through and opens onto the terrace.

The master bedroom at the second floor also enjoys a fine view of the Chateau Puligny Montrachet garden from the Juliette balcony and benefits from a large en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The second and third bedrooms both have their own shower and bathroom facilities: the third bedroom is accessed directly from the courtyard. There is ample storage and utility space, as well as a vaulted wine cellar.

We would like you to be involved with the choice of interior finishes, such as flooring, bathroom fittings and tiling, and for this reason the house will be sold without kitchen units - which we can fit at a later stage to meet your own specification.
