Delightful Canal/Riverside Chalet in Rural Setting

Description of Property:   The chalet comprises of 2 double bedrooms, a well appointed kitchen, a shower/toilet and a large lounge with adjoining balcony with delightful views over canal du Nivernais and the river Yonne. The lounge has a new log burning stove, with comfy armchairs and dining table where wildlife and marine activity can be viewed in comfort. All accommodation is on the first floor and there is a double garage below with a uk washing machine.

Outside Amenities:  Balcony with delightful views over canal du Nivernais and the river Yonne and pleasant low maintenance garden with attractive trees, plants and shrubs.
Wood store beneath front staircase which catches the sun all day and at the rear under balcony for longer term storage.

Surrounding Area:  Vézelay is 20 kms away and is a UNESCO World Heritage site with historic links to Richard the Lionheart and Thomas Becket and also noted for its many famous writers who have lived there over the centuries. The Nivernais and Yonne meander through the countryside, often criss-crossing or side by side and frequently joining forces to give long stretches of shimmering navigation rich with fish, wild aquatic life & water fowl. It is also rich in bird life and flora & fauna and the famous escargots which are jealously protected. We think it’s one the most peaceful, natural and unspoilt area of France we’ve seen and not overrun with tourists who mainly cruise through on the canal.
