Beautiful Barn For sale in Burgundy, France

Price 42,000 Euros inc Notaires fees

DESCRIPTION

The barn is located in the hamlet of Thoreille in the beautiful Burgundy countryside within half an hour's drive of towns such as Beaune and Autun. The town of Arnay Le Duc is just five minutes away and has all necessary facilities such as schools, doctors, supermarkets, DIY and builders stores, bars and restaurants.
The barn itself has permission to be converted into a house and has a ground floor area of approximately 124 square metres in three sections and stands on approximately 2000 square metres of land with stunning views over open countryside. In the garden there are several fruit trees including plum and apple and a well which could make a beautiful garden feature and has potable water. The barn is connected to mains water and electric and telephone are on the road at the front. Broadband internet is to be available in Thoreille by the end of 2006.
Our plan was to convert the barn into a house on three floors with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a large lounge, large kitchen, loft lounge, study and utility with a minstrals gallery and 1st floor balcony with stairs down to the garden (see plans) but our circumstances have changed.
This is a complete renovation/conversion project and the roof timbers will need replacing during the process. The walls are in excellent condition and about 18 inches thick. The floors are dirt in the left and righthand sections, concrete in the centre section.
At a price of 42,000 Euros (apprx £30,000) it represents excellent value for money in the part of Burgundy where prices rose by 42% in 2004/5
