Burgundy, Côte-d`Or, Semur-en-Auxois, France

A46963JLT21 - A Turnkey period property with contemporary upgrades in the medieval Burgundian town of Semur-en-Auxois.
Walking into this character-filled property in Semur-en-Auxois you are greeted by a room on your left that could lend itself to a bedroom, kitchen or office. On the right there is a very large reception room that could accommodate a huge family dining area with ease.
An archway leads to a room that has previously been used as a small kitchen but the exposed stone wall and balcony access would make it better suited to an extension of the reception area.
There is a guests WC off this room.
Off to the right of the wide archway there is a very spacious and contemporary lounge with a woodburner and access to another balcony, this room has beautifully finished plasterwork contrasting more exposed and pointed stonework.
From the reception area you access a solid wood staircase leading to the first floor.
The lobby of the 1st floor is original wood flooring. A corridor leads through to the 3 bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom.
There is another staircase leading from the lobby to an attic which is currently unused but could be converted to an beautiful master suite with ensuite. The attic benefits from 4 original low-level windows and 2 velux windows which provide plenty of natural light.
The lower level can be accessed both from the ground floor living area, a door out to the small road running below the property, or the electric garage door, where there is enough room to store multiple small vehicles.
As well as the garage, on the lower floor, you will find the boiler room which could be also be used as a laundry room, a wine cellar and 2 very large and dry storage rooms with their own access to the lower road.
A few paces up the road you will find a wonderful detached, walled garden with mature grape vines offering sweet and tasty fresh fruit and an area to while away a sunny afternoon in peace and tranquillity.
Semur-en-Auxois is a picturesque medieval town in the Côte-d’Or department of Burgundy, roughly halfway between Dijon and Auxerre. Built dramatically above the Armançon River, it is particularly known for its fortified old town, imposing medieval towers and attractive Burgundy-stone houses.
The historic centre is compact and characterful, with narrow streets, small squares and traditional shops and cafés. Its most recognisable landmarks are the four large towers that survive from the medieval times, along with the Collégiale Notre-Dame, an impressive Gothic church dating principally from the 13th century. Down by the river, old bridges and views back towards the town provide some of Semur's most attractive scenery.
