Couches, Burgundy, Address available on request

On 3780 m2, old mill with outbuilding in a beautiful garden in a place called Le Frais Vallon, close to the heart of the medieval village of Couches, renowned for its magnificent castle and its listed monuments. Quick access to Autun and Chalon-sur-Saône, and 20 minutes from the Creusot-Montchanin TGV station. A beautiful stone house with lots of charm and character. This house was originally a mill fed by the waters of the Vielle which crosses Couches and flows into the Dheune. All that remains today is the millrace, closed upstream, and the stream of course which constitutes the boundary of the property. Facing east-west, the stone building, which dates from the seventeenth century, is now a very charming residential house tastefully renovated while retaining its old character (imitation stone tiles in the dining-kitchen area, exposed beams and frameworks in the upstairs bedrooms, magnificent solid oak wood staircase, floral tiles in the orangery), while ensuring good insulation. The structure is solid and sound, the roof, the framework and the zinc work are in very good condition. A wood stove in the living room heats all the communicating rooms family living room-dining room-kitchen and the master bedroom upstairs, crossed by the fireplace. The originality of the house lies in the distribution of volumes on four levels: one enters the house from the north side, either on the garden level through the family living room, or through the staircase and the upper entrance which opens onto a beautiful open kitchen-dining room, the latter opening onto a veranda on the south side on a 3rd level are the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom (walk-in shower) and a separate toilet. Finally, the last level is composed of 3 attic bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, one with sink and bath, the other with shower and toilet. On the west façade and behind the kitchen and dining room is a terrace which is accessed via the veranda. Finally, the basement is composed of a laundry room, a wine cellar and another cellar that can be used as a workshop. A long outbuilding surrounded by a beautiful lawn on one side and bordered by the stream on the other is divided into 3 rooms that can be used as a living room and bedroom in summer only. There is also a kitchen area and a bathroom summarily equipped. It has a canopy at its west end. The trees form a beautiful and peaceful setting. Connections: mains drainage.
