Authentic 19th-century winegrower's character property rehabilitated into a holiday home nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac - on an enclosed 400m² property adorned with a large free-access vegetable garden - in the heart of a small typical winegrowing hamlet (adjoining the commune of Saint-Sernin-du Plain), 6.5 km from the picturesque medieval market town of Couches (home to a mini supermarket & the sumptuous 13th-century château of the French queen Marguerite de Bourgogne) & 10 km from the charming wine & spa town of Santenay (with its Casino, numerous leisure facilities & amenities).
