From the Agent: "This property presents a place between conviviality and creation.  The living spaces have a warm atmosphere where modernity is expressed in the raw materials left visible and the fluidity of the volumes. The raw concrete beams and pillars rub shoulders with the natural wood veneer of the sloping ceiling, the local stone of the walls of the old barn, and the red terra-cotta floor tiles that cover the floor. The bedrooms face east to capture the sunrise, and the attic retains its impressive original timber frame. Skylights in the roof let in natural light."

While the home is enveloped by nature, the quaint village of Noyers-sur-Serein is only 10 minutes away.
