There are 4 bedrooms and the house has beds for between 4 and 11 depending on sleeping arrangments. There is also an infant travel cot.

SETTING

The house is in the unspoilt and quiet village of Orches which is perched on a hilltop on the edge of the Burgundy vineyards and has spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, including, on a clear day, Mont Blanc. The village is 15 minutes from Beaune and surrounded by beautiful countryside and historic wine villages such as Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Monthelie and Auxey-Duresses. The village is a working, vinyard village, typical of the Bourgogne area.

Originally built as a farm estate in the mid-19th century, the buildings comprise a limestone built farmhouse on two levels, with 2, enormous, vaulted wine "caves" underneath. Attached is a large stone barn, formerly used as stables for animals and then, latterly, for making local wine. The house is located off a quiet village road and has safe play areas. The french windows lead to a sunny, gravelled patio area which can be used for dining.

THE HOUSE

The house has been recently renovated to provide a bright and airy living-space while retaining many of the original features. The exterior walls are massive local limestone and maintain a cool interior temperature in summer and warmth in winter. The floors are newly laid local wood.

There are 4 large double bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms, the kitchen, utility room, family bathroom, separate WC, and dining/living area on the ground floor. The upper floor consists of an open plan lounge with the original, massive, oak beams and dormer windows providing views of the surrounding countryside. The 4th bedroom, separate 2nd bathroom and study space are accessed from the lounge.
