Quality Detached Neo-Breton House

Here we have a large Neo-Breton Property habitable albeit in need of modernisation with OUTBUILDINGS and generous gardens of 2,250 m2. In A Rural Setting Only 800m From The Sea.

Set amongst corn fields and offering total privacy behind its own attractive 3m-high stone wall, this large, four-bedroom house in need of modernisation offers a renovation project with the potential to create a fantastic home, plus the possibility of the studio to renovate, all within walking distance of the beach and close to the amenities offered by the nearby, sought-after town of Plerin.

LOUNGE (approx 20.3m2) - featuring a stone fireplace with built in wood-burning fire, carpeted floor, brass candelabra, heating radiator.

SMALL ANTE-ROOM (approx 4m2) - with a concrete floor and suitable as an office.

LAUNDRY ROOM (approx 12.9m2) - with a sink and power points. Water pipes are in situ but the correct installation for a washing machine would need to be added.

KITCHEN (approx 20m2) - a few cupboards are in place along with an extractor hood and a radiator. Upgrading necessary.

CONSERVATORY / DINING ROOM / VERANDA (approx 30.8m2) - accessed from the lounge or the kitchen, this long room is very bright and airy with views over the garden. Featuring three heating radiators, a concrete floor and lots of windows.

SHOWER ROOM (approx 5m2) - featuring a shower cabin, a wash basin, a bidet and a radiator.

A wooden staircase brings you to the second floor where there is loft access (insulated some years ago with glass wool so probably in need of updating) and:

BEDROOM 3 (approx 20m2) - with a wooden floor, a radiator and a distant view of the sea.

BEDROOM 4 (approx 20.8m2) - with a few shelves, a wooden floor, a radiator and a distant view of the sea.

SMALL WASH ROOM (approx 4.7m2) - on the second floor landing, with a wash basin and small cupboard and the potential to convert it to a toilet as it is located directly above the shower room / WC on the floor below.

THE EXTERIOR:

Behind the tall gate and tall exterior wall which surround this property, the large garden with its lawn and several mature trees provides a private a peaceful retreat from the outside world. The property has been used in the past to operate a horticultural business and there remain several flower and vegetable beds as well as a long greenhouse which has not, in recent years, received the attention and maintenance it requires so will need a little TLC if it is to be brought back into use. The vegetable beds are still in use and provide, amongst others, pumpkins, butter nut squash, rhubarb, onions with an abundance of tomato plants in the greenhouse.

Fruit trees include apple, pear, walnut, kiwi and fig and there is a former garden pond which has been emptied but can, of course be brought back into use. A decorative stone well provides a natural source of garden water and custom-built, sculpted stone barbecue with its own separate small terrace area.

A corner garden store with a concrete floor, whilst a little run down, offers approximately 40m2 of storage space for garden tools and machinery and there is an additional store, again store needing some attention.

OUTBUILDING - two former small studio apartments with a through access door between the upstairs bedrooms with potential to create one holiday cottage, but requiring extensive renovation.

GARAGE SPACE is provided by an open-fronted lengthy garage constructed in breeze blocks at an angle of 90° to the exterior wall, covered in by corrugated iron, with sufficient space for four cars or more.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The central heating system operates on fuel oil which heats substantial radiators. The tank oil reservoir tank is situated in the garden (as it used to serve both the house and greenhouse heating systems) and would need to be relocated, in the laundry room of the house for example.

The main arterial RN12 dual-carriageway (Brest to Rennes and beyond) is around five minutes' drive away and the large town of Saint Brieuc with all its amenities just a few more minutes along the same road. France's famous high-speed TGV train serves Saint Brieuc to reach Paris and further beyond.

The ferry ports of Saint Malo (serving Portsmouth and Jersey) and Roscoff (serving Plymouth and Cork) are 95km (59 miles) and 112km (70 miles) away respectively and Dinard airport is 80km (50 miles) away, all easily reached with the journeys being largely by dual carriageway. Ryanair fly Dinard to Stansted several times per week all year round and to East Midlands currently (as at September 2016) between April and the end of October. Brest airport is 134km (84 miles) away and Rennes airport is 112km (70 miles).

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.
