Bissy-sous-Uxelles, Burgundy, Address available on request

A 20-minute drive from Cluny or Tournus, this warm house is close to Cormatin with its restaurants and shops and the greenway from Chalon to Macon. Perfectly habitable, it would benefit from some renovation work. Large barn for storage or workshop and paved backyard. Sold furnished, ready to enjoy. This picturesque stone house is located in the heart of the friendly village of Bissy sous Uxelles. It's a pleasant 5km bike ride to Cormatin where you can join the greenway cycle route, which winds through medieval villages to Chalon or Mâcon and beyond. Saint Gengoux le National is a 10-minute drive away, Cluny and Tournus 20 minutes. Nearby Chapaize is also famous for its 11th-century Romanesque church, restaurants and organic Sunday market. From the street side of the property, one enters directly into the bright living room, with a Jotul wood burner for the winter months. On one side there is a room used as a dining room and at the back of the house is the kitchen, simply equipped, but functional and with a large storage cupboard under the stairs. The kitchen leads through a small veranda to the paved courtyard of 45m2, an ideal size for alfresco dining and relaxation, with very little maintenance required. Upstairs are 2 spacious double bedrooms and a large bathroom. Note that currently one bedroom is accessible from the other, or from the bathroom, but a hallway could be built to allow separate access. A staircase closed from the landing provides access to a large attic with additional potential. The house has a very recent roof and is largely equipped with double glazing. There are radiators in place, but the oil boiler has not been used for several years and would need to be replaced. The property benefits from mains drainage. Attached to one side of the house is a barn, used as a garage with plenty of space for storage and a workshop. A pretty village house with easy access to the countryside, centrally located to explore Tournus and Cluny and close to Taizé.
