Owner profile
About the owner
Married couple, living in Cheshire, UK.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We saw and fell in love with our place in Charrin when we stopped off to visit some friends who lived in Fours, not far away. We were on honeymoon at the time and when chatting to our friends told them how much we loved the region. We had travelled right through France and we thought Burgundy was by far the prettiest part we had seen. They took us for a drive around and, as you do, we picked up a property paper. We looked at a couple of places that were not right for us. We decided that we had wasted enough of our honeymoon and were just about to leave when we saw 6 L'Oseraie in an estate agents window. The next day we were off to see it and the roller-coaster was off! It has taken us 18 months of trips over the channel to do all the hard work, but now it is really beautiful.
Unique benefits of the property
The main draw of the house is the swimming pool which is open and heated from beginning of April to end of October when the weather in Burgundy is fabulous. When we were there in May this year temperatures were in the high 80's. The pool terrace is in full sun all day long.
However, we love being there in the winter. The house is very warm and just a great place to relax in the peace and quiet.
The other big draw of our house is the privacy. It is surrounded by tall trees and accessed by large electric gates, so you know you wont be disturbed.
The terrace/veranda means you can sit out and enjoy the outdoors even when it is raining or too hot to sit in the sun. It is a great house for groups because there are lots of places to get away from each other if you want to.
