HouseSeurre (21)

An 18th and 19th century country residence with 3 5 ha of grounds close to Seurre and its banks of the Saône, not far from Beaune in the Côte-d'Or. As the construction of such a complex always happens over a long period of time, the residence, surrounded by 3.5 ha of wooded grounds, comprises a rectangular 19th century Directoire-style main building with two storeys and an older wing built in the 18th century. Nearby, there are a former caretaker's cottage and a well. A little further apart, the outbuilding, once a stable and garage for horse-drawn vehicles, now houses a workshop with storerooms on the ground floor and a flat on the first floor.
The facades are of rendered or roughcast stone, with rectilinear or arched windows, some of which have dressed stone surrounds, and topped by flat tile roofs with two or four pitches.
Finally, the buildings are surrounded by 3.5 hectares of grounds comprising coppices, orchard, vegetable patch and meadow.
