TRAMAYES, Burgundy, Address available on request

High above a small village South of Cluny, and close to a pass where the road dips down towards the Beaujolais and Lyon, this property has an entrance gate shaded by tall trees which leads gently down to the main house and its smaller outbuilding. The main living area is at ground level, with a central living-room which also serves as kitchen. A door next to the fireplace leads to a bedroom on the same level, while at one side, down six steps, is a second bedroom, and on the other side five steps lead up to a large salon with a balcony. It will be clear from this that the house is built on sloping ground. A wooden stairase mleads up to an attic where a large landing and two more bedrooms which remind one more of a sketch than of a finished painting. Below the kitchen is a vaulted wine cellar, and a shower room and Wc are found in what used to be a garage. Opposite the house is a outbuilding consisting of a garage and workshop, with two good bedrooms above them. The interior has much charm as its original state has been been well preserved. The grounds are a vegetable garden with well, and a small pond. The seven acres are meadows and woodland. And of course there's that view....
