MORBIHAN - Pontivy - Historical town..

Live a part of the history of Pontivy.... The impressive character property was built following a government ruling dating back to 17 September 1802 which stipulates that "the Ministry of War will have built a house for the commander of the garrison of Pontivy". the property was finally built in 1869 in a position dominating the old drill square which is right in the centre, and overlooking the old barracks. The property is now a rare example of the colonial style set in an acre of walled gardens, dominating the centre of town.At present this character home offers you on the ground floor, entrance hall, dining room with fireplace and marble floors, then there is a large study with parquet floor. Both of these are facing east and look out over the town. To the rear half of the house, you have a large lounge with fireplace and parquet floor as well as a large kitchen, both of these open out onto the garden. In the middle is a central hall open on to the large stairwell with a massive glass panel for the light. Upstairs you have the landing and to one side two decent bedrooms with a shared bathroom, then to the other side two further decent bedrooms with a shared shower room. Above this in the loft is a further 5 rooms, the old domestics quarters, but these will need modernisation. The is also a cellar below 1/2 of the house.Outside in the grounds you have the old guardians quarters that comprise of an lounge/kitchen with shower room and a bedroom in the loft space above, and its own private south facing garden. Adjoining this is the first of two large double garages, the second one being in the grounds themselves. Fully private gardens of over an acre with tall stone walls and centennial trees.
