An 18th-century stone house, its patio, enclosed garden and swimming pool in the centre of a historical Burgundy village, two hours from Paris. Many old dwellings line the streets of this village, including this 18th-century stone house whose carriage door opens onto a half-timbered covered area with a stone flag ground that once housed horse-drawn carriages. This space directly leads to the garden enclosed by high walls in which several niches were created. A gravel path borders a lawn accentuated by a row of rosebushes, which face a portion of the dwelling and outbuildings. The house, entirely built over a basement level, has two storeys. The façade is punctuated by many arched 'wolf's jaw and sheep's head' wood-framed windows typical of the 18th century, which are protected by pearl grey wooden shutters on the ground floor, while upstairs, they are fitted with louvred shutters and finely sculpted guardrails. A few stone steps lead to the double wooden front door crowned with a glazed fanlight decorated with finely crafted ironwork. Nearby, a very old carriage door provides access to the property for vehicles. The house's back façade faces the garden and the garage's large arched entrance. On this side, the ground floor communicates directly with the patio via tall French doors, while a polygonal entrance, entirely glazed, provides access to the garden. Lastly, a perpendicular wing with large arched small-paned windows extends on from the main building. Wisteria festoons the façades with a dash of colour, while a few steps lead to an upper patio covered in Burgundy stone, which runs along the house and reveals plunging perspectives of the garden and a view reaching all the way to the countryside and its hills. The perpendicular extension is accessible via a stone staircase, which leads inside or to the garden. At the end of the latter, a guardrail reveals a vertiginous view of the village, while a second entrance, protected by grapevines, provides direct access to the small streets below via a stone staircase. On the garden side, a heated swimming pool is located in an interior courtyard. Nearby, a staircase leads directly to the kitchen.
