luxury architect house for sale Charny Orée de Puisaye, France

A country residence with generous volumes and a pottery workshop, encircled by parkland with panoramic views, 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris, in Burgundy. The undulating countryside in which the property stands is dotted with country roads winding around the hills, one of which leads to the hamlet, punctuated by a few houses tucked away behind lush vegetation. A parking area with capacity for two cars can be found behind a double-leaf wooden gate at the entrance to the property. Within its walls, parking is also possible on a gravelled courtyard. Opposite the main residence, there is also a small wooden house. The garden is a little further away and is made up of many trees, including a several-hundred-year-old walnut tree providing shade for the patio. Through gaps in the vegetation, landscape made up of hills and sunflower fields can be observed. The residence, with almost 395 m² of living space, was built in the 18th century and has been restored to the highest standards by an architect. The two-storey edifice stands opposite a workshop that has been devoted to pottery making, up to the present date. The south-facing, climbing rosebush and wisteria adorned main facade, with exposed stonework and lime rendering, is punctuated by several semi-circular arched doors and windows with surrounds made of local bricks. The windows are fitted with wooden shutters. The upper level stands out thanks to the presence of two bullseye windows. The gabled roof made up of flat Burgundy tiles is in good condition. The house contains a vast lounge and a remarkably sized entrance hall, as well as six bedrooms, including one on the ground floor, and a dormitory. Its layout brings together features and materials from different periods, combining gentle shades and sober shapes.
