FINISTERE - Nr PONT-AVEN - Character..

Set in the countryside between Bannalec and the historical and touristy town of Pont Aven, you will find a lovely example of what we call a "Maison de Maitre" built on the site of an old monastery. The lovely property comprises of the main house which is fully renovated, an adjoining stone barn, a smaller stone barn opposite, walled gardens, well and many character features, set in over three acres of grounds. The main house was built around 1830 by the local mayor, the has been fully renovated over the last few years to offer on the ground floor: Entrance hall with original staircase, large kitchen with dining area and lounge area around the feature fireplace; to the other side of the hall you have the lounge which also has a feature fireplace, and then to the rear you have the 'cave' which would be ideal to make either a downstairs bedroom or two, or a spacious country kitchen. Upstairs you have a large landing, the master bedroom with en suite shower room, a second equally large bedroom and two "normal' sized bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom. Above there is a large loft which give scope for even more! Outside, in continuation of the house you have the big old stable block and an addition smaller stone barn, then opposite the house is another stone barn and to the entrance of the property is a small stone building which was originally used for drying produce, this was set next to the well and granite wash basin. The majority of the land is set to the front of the house, firstly with its walled gardens left over from the time it was a monastery, then a large open field which separates it from the closest neighbour
