Characterful 4-bedroom house with independent accommodation, enclosed garden, garage and additional land, ideally situated between Clamecy and Vézelay.

Close to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route (the Vézelay Way) and the Canal du Nivernais, the property is ideally placed for walking, cycling and enjoying the beautiful Burgundy countryside. Its independent accommodation also offers attractive potential for a gîte or holiday rental.

Just 12 minutes from Clamecy, with its shops, weekly market and railway station providing connections to Auxerre and Paris, the house combines period character with modern comfort, including a recently installed air-source heat pump. A wonderfully versatile property, equally suited to a permanent home, holiday retreat or tourism project.

Dating from before 1900, this charming and deceptively spacious village property offers generous living accommodation, plenty of character and exciting possibilities for family living or additional income.

Situated in the peaceful village of Dornecy, between the historic town of Clamecy and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vézelay, the property enjoys a tranquil setting on the edge of the Morvan Natural Regional Park. The area is particularly appealing to walkers, cyclists and lovers of the outdoors, with the historic Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route (the Vézelay Way) passing through the surrounding countryside on its journey from Vézelay towards Clamecy. The beautiful Canal du Nivernais is also close by, offering miles of waterside walking and cycling routes through the Burgundy countryside. Clamecy, with its supermarkets, restaurants, weekly market and railway station offering services to Auxerre and Paris, is just a 12-minute drive away.

Behind its attractive façade lies a surprisingly spacious interior filled with natural light. Original stone walls, high ceilings, traditional wooden flooring and an elegant stone staircase with wrought-iron balustrades all contribute to the home's authentic character. Modern comforts have not been forgotten, with a recently installed air-source heat pump providing efficient heating and contributing to the property's respectable DPE rating of D.

The spacious family kitchen forms the heart of the home, offering ample space for cooking, dining and entertaining. Practical and welcoming, it is perfectly suited to family life. The adjoining sitting room enjoys pleasant views over the private garden, creating a peaceful and relaxing space to unwind.

Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a second spacious double bedroom enjoys attractive views over the garden. High ceilings and original wooden flooring continue the character found throughout the house.

One of the property's most attractive features is its flexible secondary living area. Connected to the main house while naturally offering its own sense of independence, this section currently provides a sitting room, kitchenette, WC and two additional upstairs bedrooms. With only modest updating, it offers excellent potential to create a comfortable gîte or Airbnb, guest accommodation for family and friends, independent living for a teenager or older relative, or even a dedicated home office or creative workspace. Its location close to both the Vézelay Way and the Canal du Nivernais could also make this particularly interesting for owners considering seasonal accommodation for walkers, cyclists and visitors exploring this beautiful part of Burgundy.

Outside, the enclosed private garden provides a peaceful haven for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying time with children and pets. Mostly laid to lawn, it offers plenty of scope for gardening or outdoor dining. A charming stone outbuilding presents an exciting opportunity to create a summer kitchen or covered entertaining area, allowing you to make the most of Burgundy's long summer evenings.

The attached garage provides parking for a small vehicle, workshop space and houses the modern air-source heat pump. The sale also includes several additional nearby parcels of land, offering possibilities for leisure use, keeping horses, creating a vegetable garden or simply enjoying extra outdoor space.

While some areas would benefit from updating to suit modern tastes, the property has been well maintained and offers exceptional flexibility, generous accommodation and tremendous potential. Whether you are searching for a permanent family home, a spacious holiday retreat or a property capable of generating additional income through holiday rentals, this delightful village home offers a rare combination of character, versatility and opportunity in one of Burgundy's most beautiful regions.
