La Lampisterie - Converted railway workshop on the edge of the Voie Verte
***NEW LISTING*** Step back in time at La Lampisterie, a unique holiday home steeped in history. Once the workshop that crafted lamps for the local railway, imagine waking up in a place where railway history was made, with the old station and converted railway line just a stone's throw away.
Built in 1889, La Lampisterie hints at its original purpose with thick stone walls, high ceilings and many original features such as the signs above each of the doors. Now tastefully renovated, the property features 2 spacious bedrooms as well as a large living room with sofa bad allowing it to comfortably sleep up to 6 people. Set entirely on the ground floor, it is also a perfect accommodation for those of reduced mobility.
Stepping out through the patio doors, a private garden with outdoor dining table gives way immediately to the wide open space of the Voie Verte, the former railway line now converted into a fully tarmacked 75km long cycle path connecting Chalon sur Saone and Macon. A variety of exercise equipment, a football pitch, basketball court and a children's play area are all available within metres of the property whilst the old Saint Gengoux station sits next door featuring tourist information and bicycles to rent for those who wish to explore further.
