Description
Located only 178 km from Paris (2h16 by car), this property is tucked away in a listed district in the heart of the village of Saint Sauveur en Puisaye. The village is home to the Maison de Colette and many local shops, as well as a health centre, a nursery, a school and a high school. This magnificent, fully renovated Directoire house has retained all its original materials and features, including parquet flooring, terracotta tiles, espagnolette bolts, 18th century ironwork and locks, cupboards, alcoves, woodwork and fireplaces, as well as its cross-shaped layout. It is perched on a hillside a few steps from the village square and boasts a remarkable view of the leafy valleys of Puisaye. Fully enclosed by high walls, this property and its garden are accessible by a large gate opening onto a courtyard, a garden and a vegetable garden (totalling ??1800 sq.m). A staircase leads to a large gallery entrance and bookshelves backing onto the courtyard and garden, where a hidden staircase allows access to the first floor. The presence of double doors offer the possibility of dividing the reception and private areas. The gallery entrance leads to the left, serving a large cupboard, a dining room with fireplace and hidden cupboard, a guest WC, a fitted kitchen with access to the garden, a dining area and a back kitchen with storage room. To the right, there is a large office / bedroom / living room with three large storage cupboards, plus a fireplace, woodwork and trumeau. From the library gallery on the left, you enter a living room with insert fireplace and a bedroom with cupboard and alcove with bookshelves. To the right of the gallery, there are three bedrooms, two of which have contemporary shower rooms with toilets. A large corridor, accessible from the entrance or from the outside, provides access to the three bedrooms. On the first floor, a landing leads to five main rooms, a laundry room, a shower room, a separate WC, a large attic with sumptuous exposed framework and terracotta floor tiles, offering the potential for the creation of additional bedrooms. There is a large vaulted cellar with external access. An outbuilding located to the right of the gate and entrance gate has an open space and is used as a garage for two cars. You will also find a woodshed and storage room for gardening tools and a waste store. It all sits in an idyllic setting. This magnificently renovated property has retained its authenticity charm and still offers bags of potential.
