Property description

Due to unforeseen circumstances and with great regret we are selling our home – a picturesque property located in a quiet three-house hamlet (ours being two of them) just 10 mins from Mur de Bretagne. The property comprises a 3 bed cottage, partially started longere, a workshop, utility room/building, hangar and sheds. We have planning permission for the longere and already have most of the materials for the roof: A-frames, chevrons, slates, etc, along with double-glazed windows, front door, velux, etc. – all ready to go (approx value €14,500). We enjoy a reliable broadband connection which, along with the buildings and location, presents a good opportunity for a gite business if required.

The property sits in over an acre (4080 m2) of beautiful garden with many established trees that include oak, walnut and cherry. It has a small orchard with apple, pear and plum, which catches the sun all day long - it really is a joy to mow the grass. Brand new fosse installed, less than two years old, serves both houses, already plumbed in, connected and working fine.

Easy reach of all amenities with good access to Mur de Bretagne, Rostrenen and Pontivy, and an easy 1.5 hour jaunt to the Brest/Dinard airports or the Roscoff/St Malo ferries.

The Cottage
Fully restored to high standard, 3 beds (one with mezzanine), recent kitchen, 200 litre water heater and very efficient log burner. The cottage benefits from secondary heating where hot air from the log burner is fan-ducted to all the rooms upstairs. Shower room with sink and toilet, recent kitchen and entire ground floor benefits from easy to clean floor tiles.

Attached to the cottage is a newly-roofed spacious workshop with velux. Concrete floor, painted.

The Longere
Good-sized, spacious longere with excellent potential, close to cottage. No need to purchase roof materials as most are here waiting to be fitted, as are most of the double-glazed windows, etc. Professional plans and permission in place for a 3 bed dwelling. Plans show 3 beds 2 bathrooms, large living room. Kitchen/Diner opening onto covered wooden terrace with beautiful views over the garden. The first floor already has a concrete block floor installed and current owner would be available at current market rates to install the roof after the sale, if required.

Attached to the longere is a utility room with concrete ground floor and boarded first floor. Hangar to the side with wooden decking – great for watching the sun go down with a glass of wine!

Land
The property boasts over an acre of land (4080 m2) that backs on to an undisturbed natural valley with a stream running through it that feeds into the lake - a wonderful array of wildlife to be enjoyed. Ample driveway, easy access and parking for 4+ cars. There is also two sheds and a secure, walk-in chicken/dog run.

There exists the opportunity to purchase an additional 1.5+ acres (6,350 m2) that used to belong to the property, just across the lane, also for a very good price (English-owned so easy to negotiate).

Environment
The property is just five minutes walk from the famous 14Km long Lac de Guerledan (largest man made lake in Europe) – perfect for watersport enthusiasts, fishermen, walkers or just to simply enjoy it. Along with the property comes a 6 metre wooden boat that we think was used by the previous owners on the lake during the 1920’s. We haven’t used it but seems in a serviceable condition. Also included, an old boat that has been converted from a yacht, and a boat trailer too.

The old railway line is ideal for sedate walking and easy cycling – a great way to explore the beautiful countryside. For a change of scenery the Nante-Brest Canal just takes your breathe away. At the head of the Lac is Bon Repos, a 12th century Cistercian chapel that holds the incredible Son et Lumier every year.

Price now reduced to €165,000 for quick sale and sensible offers.
