Châtillon-sur-Seine, Burgundy 21400

An elegant house with a 470m floor area, fully renovated in an English style and nestled in the town of Chtillon-sur-Seine in northern Burgundy. The house and garden lie up on a hill in the town, opposite Saint-Vorles Church, which looks down over the River Seine valley and the Douix spring. This neighbourhood is especially calm. It separates the town centre from Chtillon forest. The street Rue Saint-Vorles is steep, so gardens here are terraced, and the road offers a pleasant view of the town. With this incline, you cannot immediately see that the house actually has four levels and that its basement becomes a garden-level floor. The house's elevations combine Burgundy stone with brickwork, giving the edifice an appearance that is half-French, half-English. On the street side, just beneath the zinc roof, there is a terrace on the second floor. Two towers flank the house's main section. The first one is broad and rises up to the terrace, where it stops. The other one is more slender and stretches all the way up to the second floor. The property's garages are separated from the house and mark the edge of the garden. From the property, you can admire an outstanding view of Saint-Vorles Church, as well as ruins of the town's old fortifications and the tree-dotted parkland beside them. At night, lighting showcases these places, bringing out their splendour.
