Centre, Cher, Savigny-en-Sancerre, France

A44742SAL18 - Traditional stone farmhouse with character features, extensive workshop space and beautiful gardens, situated in a peaceful hamlet just 10 minutes from Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and only 15 minutes from the famous wine village of Sancerre.

Set behind iron entrance gates and surrounded by countryside, this charming property offers privacy, generous outdoor space and substantial outbuildings, while remaining within easy reach of shops, restaurants and rail connections.

The house and barn both benefit from roofs in excellent condition and the property retains many authentic features including exposed beams, stonework, terracotta flooring, vaulted ceilings and a magnificent open fireplace.

The entrance hall leads into a spacious and beautifully presented living room with impressive ceiling beams, windows to the front aspect, and patio doors opening onto a terrace overlooking the gardens to the rear. A large traditional fireplace creates a warm focal point to the room. A stone staircase leads to the first level of the property.

Leading off from the entrance hall to the left, you will find the shaped kitchen which is positioned to the front of the property and offers generous space for storage, cooking and a family sized dinning table.

A large ground-floor shower room with WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two substantial bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, each enjoying windows to multiple aspects of the property with views over the surrounding gardens and countryside. The generous proportions of both rooms offer excellent flexibility for future development, including the possibility of creating additional bedrooms or en-suite facilities.

Outside, the gardens extend around the property and include two tree-lined avenues which provide both privacy and character. One avenue borders the lower part of the garden, while the second runs alongside the property with private access to the track beyond. A terrace patio to the rear of the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The grounds also include a well.

Additional practical spaces include a summer kitchen, utility/storage areas and a detached barn divided into three substantial workshop spaces.

Particular care and investment has been made in the creation of the artist’s studio, which features a striking bespoke entrance framed by glass brickwork and climbing greenery, creating a distinctive atelier atmosphere. The studio itself benefits from generous natural light and additional mezzanine-style storage space above.

A second workshop is currently used for storage, while the third and largest space offers exceptional versatility with impressive volume, large entrance doors allowing excellent natural light and direct access to the rear gardens. These outbuildings would suit artists, craftspeople, collectors, workshop space or a variety of creative and practical uses.

The property enjoys a particularly peaceful setting with only one nearby neighbour — a composer of music for film — adding to the calm and creative atmosphere of this unique countryside home.
