Very rarely do properties like this one, come to the market. Extended and renovated to a high standard and with a lay out that gives the option of separating the property to provide a private annex, or for use as a B+B.
The property has a remote control gated entry, which leads you into a fully tarmacked drive with parking for several cars, a large barn with doors big enough to accommodate a caravan. Attractive stone out buildings,(one is currently used as a wood store - each 50m²) and well maintained gardens split into various areas. The views over the countryside and hills beyond are breathtaking! The grounds have a fresh water spring feeding a garden stream, some woodland and an area that has been excavated for a pool or pond.
The property is laid out in two main sections;
The original stone house is accessed via the conservatory in front of the kitchen. The kitchen (22m²) has a range of units, feature stone walls, beamed ceiling and a stone fireplace with insert wood burner. Stairs lead to bedroom 1, a double room which is built into the eaves. From the kitchen there is a step down to the spacious dining room which has a double height stone fireplace, a vaulted ceiling, glazed doors overlooking the courtyard and gardens, and a door off to a bathroom with w.c.. Stairs from the dining room lead up to a galleried mezzanine with doors off to bedrooms 2 & 3 which are built into the eaves.
The second part of the house (37m² footprint) was constructed in 2001. Glazed doors lead you into the sitting room - which has plumbing in place if you want to make a kitchen to create a separate annex. Also from the sitting room, are stairs up to bedrooms 4 & 5, and shower room. Then there's a door off to ground floor bedroom 6 and steps down leading into another original stone building. This building has a w.c., a utility room with plumbing for washing machine, steps down to a wine cellar and an attic with velux windows.
Although you are nestled in the countryside you are just minutes from the centre of Gourin which has all amenities. The closest beach would be on the south coast with a 50 minute drive, and the larger town of Carhaix is just 20 minutes north which has a railway station for the TGV to Paris and Brest. The airport at Brest is an hour, the ports of St Malo and Roscoff and airport at Dinard are just under two hours away.
