Impressive Detached House with Pool

A Stunning and Beautifully Decorated 10 Bedroom Villa with a heated SWIMMING POOL just 11km from the Beaches at Saint-Quay-Portrieux. A superb family home or indeed an ideal property to run as a BED & BREAKFAST Business.

This is a property to take your breath away! The standard of its internal decoration is to be marvelled at. Constructed in stone with a tiled roof which is in excellent condition, the vendors originally planned on operating a bed and breakfast business and designed several of the bedrooms on a theme, resulting in 'The Moroccan Room', 'The Japanese Room', 'The African Room':.and others. Have a look at the photographs to get a flavour of what the vendors have created.

Each of the themed bedrooms has its own en-suite (apart from the 'Moroccan') with high quality, tasteful tiling to the walls, a multi-jet body shower, a wash basin and a separate WC. A truly magnificent property.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

* A water well, situated in the car port provides a natural, free source of water which can be used for washing cars, watering the garden and passed through a filtration system (if desired) to route it into the house for shower / toilet / washing machine use as an alternative to the mains water supply
* A perimeter beam which activates a warning inside the house if the external perimeter is breached

POTENTIAL BEDROOMS 11 & 12- a touch smaller than the others, 'bedroom 11' (approx 10m2) has a tiled floor as it was intended as a tea-making room for B & B guests but certainly can be used as a bedroom or as an office. It has hot and cold water plumbing in place and includes a staircase to 'potential bedroom 12' (approx 20.3m2 of which 12.5m2 is above 1.8m) which could equally be used as a children's playroom or gym room.

POTENTIAL BEDROOM 13 (accessed by a staircase from the upstairs lounge area) - with a parquet floor which could be used as a bedroom or a children's play room etc.

LOFT STORAGE SPACE - the precise dimensions are not available but you could describe it as 'immense' as it runs the whole length of the house with the exception of the two rooms referred to as 'Potential Bedrooms 12 & 13'.

OUTSIDE:

To the front you'll find a delightful ornamental garden and lawn, the former featuring a small pond with a decorative bridge, figurines, rocks, an ornamental anchor, flowers, shrubs and small, carefully-trimmed bushes. A large, south-west facing patio includes a pagoda frame and is ideal for outside dining in fine weather. A wooden frame along the length of one side of the house allows for a 'floral corridor' to be created in summer and currently hosts vines providing both red and white grapes.

To the rear you'll find two lawned areas and the heated swimming pool, a pool house including toilet facilities, a shower and a permanent barbecue. The heated pool is 8m x 4m to a depth of 1.7m and includes a retractable cover (rigid plastic within an aluminium frame) to protect it. It has wooden decking around the sides - large enough to accommodate outdoor dining furniture - supplemented by pebbled tiles.

The gardens include plum, apple, apricot and cherry trees.

The pebbled driveway passes down the side of the house to a large rear courtyard with a double garage and a car port, tall enough to accommodate a camper van. In all there is space for around fifteen cars. An enclosed workshop / garden store is tucked away behind the garage.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The hot water is provided through a geo-thermic system. The electricity bill is quoted by the vendors as being 2,800 euros per year, which covers everything including the heated swimming pool. There are three extractor fans units in the loft instead of just the usual one.

The property is located on a cul-de-sac around 1.5km (1 mile) from the centre of Lanvollon.

The department of Cotes d'Armor is the northern most department in the Region of Brittany, with the English Channel to the north, Ille-et-Vilaine to the east, Morbihan to the south and Finistere to the west it is a sunshine gem.

The picturesque Émeraude Coast looks north to the English Channel and is packed with charming seaside resorts and old fishing villages. Most of the towns of the interior were founded in the Middle Ages. The department's southern half is crossed by the Noires Mountains that run west to east with rivers emptying to the south into the Bay of Biscay and to the north into the Channel.

Along the coast, fishing was once important but is now secondary to the cultivation of fruit, oats, potatoes and wheat and of course tourism.
