Nolay, Burgundy 21340

A 15th century house with character and retaining period features in the heart of a medieval village in the Hautes-Ctes de Beaune, to be renovated. Situated on the village's main square, this two-storey house topped by an attic comprises a former shop, a back office and a flat above. It was built around the same time as the market hall opposite, which dates back to 1388. However, its southern elevation was altered in the first half of the 20th century, revealing hardly anything of what the building conceals within. The soberly rendered stone facade has a wooden shopfront with display windows on either side of the entrance door. These openings and four windows on the first floor illuminate the interior spaces.The house includes a large cellar and an attic. A tower staircase typical of the era in which it was built provides access to the different levels and a north-facing courtyard to the rear of the building. The gable roof is of interlocking tiles.
