Réf. 4940: A lovely, characterful house with a tree-lined garden in the heart of a village, 13 km from Moulins. In the heart of the Bourbonnais region, a major Cluniac site and the birthplace of the House of Bourbon, Souvigny is a village that grew up around its former Benedictine priory, affiliated with Cluny, and boasts a remarkable priory church. This medieval village offers a particularly appealing place to live, where the charm of a historic village blends with the immediate proximity to Moulins and its amenities. The house is within easy reach of essential shops and services (supermarket, GP, bank, restaurants, etc.). Moulins is just a dozen kilometres away, allowing quick access to its shops, schools, services and cultural facilities. The location is also convenient for travelling by car, with the A79 motorway approximately 11 km away and the A71 around 30 kilometres away, providing easy access to major national roads. Set in this environment that is at once historic, natural and easily accessible, this village house is an attractive prospect for anyone seeking a main or holiday home in a village of character, close to a town offering a full range of amenities. This village house, measuring approximately 215 sqm, has been beautifully renovated by its owner, who has successfully preserved the building’s historic character whilst paying particular attention to detail. It features an elegant façade of light-coloured stone. Access to the house is via a small flight of steps leading onto a small terrace. The ground floor comprises two lovely separate rooms, connected by a central corridor. On the left, a large room features a beautiful bay window, an exposed stone wall and a half-timbered wall. A stone fireplace and a French-style ceiling complete the look. This room also has a shower and a toilet and could easily be converted into a self-contained studio flat. On the other side of the corridor, a second large room stands out for its two fireplaces. It may have been used as an exhibition room and has direct access to the inner courtyard. Access to the upper floor is via this inner courtyard, up a magnificent spiral staircase adorned with beautiful stained-glass windows. This leads to a gallery connecting the various rooms of the main house: a bathroom, a toilet, a large bedroom and a kitchen opening onto a spacious living room featuring a beautiful fireplace. This room offers a remarkable view of the priory church. The combination of exposed stone, half-timbering, terracotta floor tiles and fireplaces gives the property a genuine heritage character, which will particularly appeal to lovers of historic homes. Finally, a spacious loft of approximately 100 sqm offers great potential for conversion. This space can be transformed to suit the needs and plans of the future owner. Outbuildings : In the garden, the house has a small outbuilding with a recently replaced roof, which has been converted into a summer kitchen with a toilet, as well as several areas for storing equipment. Two other small buildings complete the complex and are also used for storing tools and gardening equipment. Numerous trees have been planted over the years, providing welcome shade in summer and allowing you to make the most of this peaceful setting across an area of 1,000 m². A charming little courtyard completes the outdoor areas. It features several remarkable decorative elements: a beautiful mural, an elegant corner niche housing two statuettes, wrought-ironwork adorned with a stained-glass window, and an old mullioned window – all details that bear witness to the property’s unique and authentic character. Tucked away from prying eyes and set in a particularly peaceful environment, this outdoor space is a true haven of tranquillity, ideal for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the surroundings. The property also has a well, providing a valuable additional source of water for the upkeep of the property and the outdoor areas. Cabinet LE NAIL – Saône-et-Loire & Bourbonnais - M.
