Remarkable Residence of Character of the Fourteenth Century

Property Description

On the borders of Southern Burgundy, in the Loire, 25 minutes from Roanne, 1h30 from Lyon, 2h40 from Geneva.

In the heart of an ancient medieval city bustling all year round founded by the Benedictines, rich in history, land of delicacies... I invite you to discover this remarkable house whose origins date back to the fourteenth century.

Located in the heart of Charlieu, its modernised and anonymous street façade does not suggest what it offers behind its walls.

This beautiful residence has retained most of its medieval characteristics, in particular its beautiful gallery overlooking the courtyard served by a spiral staircase installed in a turret and its corbelled half-timbering on the second floor.

Its medieval framework, executed with finesse, is exceptional.

A meticulous renovation under the direction of two architects has allowed this residence of character to regain all its lustre and current comfort without ever distorting the soul of the place.

It is one of those exceptional properties that ooze history for lovers of old stones.

With a living area of 183 m², the comfortable house consists on the ground floor of a magnificent living room of 37 m² dedicated to the reception in which is leaning against the wall a monumental fireplace which stands out for the power of its volume and the beauty of its lines with a very neat décor.

A magnificent ceiling with all the corbels decorated with different carved motifs underlines the character of this majestic room.

From the living room but also from the entrance with storage cupboards, there is access to the fitted kitchen with the dining area which opens through a large bay window onto the interior courtyard of 53 m², now a charming and intimate place with its magnificent stone wall and its well carved in stone.

In continuity: Laundry-cellar-WC-garage.

On the first floor served by the original stone staircase marked by the wear and tear of time there is a large hallway/office, three bedrooms, one of which has its private shower room and sauna, a bathroom and a toilet.

Beautiful and rare old terracotta tiles have been preserved.

On the second floor, accessible via the tower and the 27 m² gallery decorated with magnificent carved wooden motifs overlooking the courtyard, the 89 m² attic allows you to imagine many projects.

The roof and façade have been renovated.

Double glazed wooden windows.

City gas central heating (condensing boiler year 2019) with underfloor heating on the ground floor.

From the house you will have access to all the shops, services and schools from kindergarten to high school on foot, you can stroll through the alleys still lined with beautiful golden stone buildings and half-timbered houses.

You will also enjoy the proximity of the greenway with the possibility of reaching Roanne or Paray Le Monial.

Beyond the favorite aspect of this house, it is also the choice of a place rich in culture in a city on a human scale that is one of the 100 most beautiful detours in France and since 12/10/2024 of the 33 European sites selected on the list of Unesco World Heritage recognition.
