Property Description

Charming 18th-Century Presbytery Near Lac d'Orient

This charming 18th-century presbytery is nestled in the heart of a peaceful village on the Way of St. James, not far from Bar-sur-Seine. Spanning 300 square meters, it was fully restored in 1979. It boasts six bedrooms and a 13-acre enclosed garden, perfect for those who love the outdoors. Some modernization work is needed to unlock the full potential of this gem.

PRIVACY for All, on Two Levels
Transformed after the war into a workshop for the launch of the "Petit Bateau" brand, the property has been restored to its original state by its most recent owners, who are passionate about authenticity. The original stonework and beams have been highlighted, the roof was completely redone in 2002, and the woodwork has been meticulously restored. Everything is in place.

On the ground floor: entrance hall, spacious living/dining room with an impressive stone fireplace and bar area, office with aquarium and bookcase, fitted kitchen, laundry room, one bedroom, bathroom (in need of renovation), and WC.

Upstairs: hallway leading to four bright bedrooms, a recently renovated bathroom with WC. Attic space above and two vaulted cellars.

The outbuildings also offer ample space for you and your guests:
A charming 55m² house awaits your friends with its living area, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and WC. Ideal for seasonal rentals, of course.

The property also includes a garage, a workshop, and a boiler room (oil-fired). Well in the courtyard. Septic system needs to be brought up to code.

And for summer evenings, a recently built wooden terrace allows you to fully enjoy the privacy of the walled garden and the breathtaking view of the neighboring pastures.

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME: BETWEEN NATURE AND CULTURE
In the heart of the Aube region, the charming village of Marolles-lès-Bailly will transport you to its rich history. Nearby, you'll find all the amenities of Bar-sur-Seine, the forests of the National Park, and the banks of the Seine. Water sports enthusiasts will be delighted by the lake in the Forêt d'Orient. Two golf courses are also less than 10 minutes away. Furthermore, a cultural getaway to the medieval city of Troyes is just a 30-minute drive away, where you can discover its rich heritage.

AGENCY REVIEW
