Lisa Greene, Independent Agent, says: | | This lovely large family house is set on the edge of a very sought after village which has 2 schools, lots of commerce, fantastic sports facilities, bars and a restaurant. Ideally placed for Lamballe with its TGV station and the vibrant city of St Brieuc, property in this area is always popular and the village attracts more dynamic incomers - ideal if your idea of moving to France doesn't involve wearing your wellies 24/7. | This is a family sized house and if you choose to bring your family here the children will benefit from a fantastic education system with a choice of primary schools in the village and a choice of Moncontour or Lamballe for college - both excellent. You will find yourselves able to participate in a community which offers many diversions, from active football teams to painting classes and everything in between - the village even has a public library which also serves as a cybercommune. The commune's buildings: mairie, salle de reunion, sports hall, football pitches, tennis courts and holiday club are all pristine. During school holidays children from this and surrounding villages are offered a superb club which introduces them to many sporting and cultural activities where they can make a wider circle of friends.
If you want to shop locally there are two boulangeries, a butcher, general store, pharmacy, hairdressers, garden centre/DIY shop, garage and weekly fish stall. For more shopping there are plenty of supermarkets within easy driving distance.
If you want to work then rapidly expanding Lamballe and St Brieuc are just two of your choices for cities to find your 'metier'. There are hundreds of companies in the area and commerce and industry are growing steadily.
So, now you know what kind of life awaits you in France, where will you be living? If you have a family, where better than this solidly built, mature home with plenty of living space, a good sized garden, great views and no major work to be done. You're sure to want to decorate to stamp your own style on the property and refresh it, but you won't have to be tied to DIY for months or even years after you settle here.
Inside the front door is a large entrance hall giving access to the kitchen, with a range of fitted units (craftsman built in solid wood and suitable for painting to change the colour); the lounge/diner with stone fireplace; a room which is currently furnished as a bedroom, but which could be used as a dining room; a separate WC with wash basin; a huge built in cupboard and access to the lower floor.
Halfway down the steps to the lower floor is a door onto the back garden. Continue down to a sous sol divided into a storage area, a large garage, a generous workshop, a laundry room and a wine store. Dimensions of all of the rooms can be e-mailed to you on request. There is good head room down here and it totals 51m2 - a really useful space.
The stairs to the first floor also lead from the main entrance hall. There are 3 double bedrooms and a smaller room currently used as an office. There is a bathroom, separate WC and a further built in cupboard on the landing.
There are many views of open countryside from the house, particularly from all of the front windows and this is not set to change. The neighbouring houses at each side were built at a similar time so the whole area is established with mature trees and plenty of privacy. The garden is very pretty with a mixture of lawns, trees and shrubs, perennial plants and a vegetable plot. There is a wooden chalet for summer living, outdoor dining and making the most of the relaxed lifestyle.
Travelling to and from the property and the UK is very easy; just 40 minutes away are the ferries of St Malo which arrive from Portsmouth, Poole and the Channel Islands or Dinard airport with its regular RyanAir flights from East Midlands, London, Birmingham and Bristol. One can also fly from between Newquay and St Brieuc with Airbus. If that's not enough, in easy reach are Roscoff, Brest, Rennes, Nantes, Caen and Cherbourg with a variety of ferries and flights from all over the UK; there is also a TGV service to Rennes which is an hour away and a TGV station at nearby Lamballe.
