Lisa Greene, Independent Agent, says: | | This fantastic house is a text book property: well laid out and good to look at, no major work to do on the habitable main home, good roof, tranquil rural location, just over an acre of ground, 3 intrinsically sound additional buildings which could be turned into gites, well located for access from the UK or within France, close to good schools and other services, a country home less than 15 minutes from town and to top it all, the price is an absolute steal as the seller needs a quick sale. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to grab a beautiful bargain. | The property has been well-maintained and has a good roof across the main house and most of the buildings. The main house has had replacement wooden double glazed windows which are in good order and it has oil fired central heating as well as several fireplaces. The downstairs has two main rooms, a country-style dining kitchen and a huge living room. Both rooms have fireplaces and the living room has double glass doors which open onto a patio area. There are plenty of beams, nicely pointed exposed stone walls and lots of character. The main rooms are to either side of a hallway from the front door and there is also a WC off.
On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom with WC, two further generous double rooms and a shower room with WC. The landing is quite wide and there is a staircase to the attic which has good headroom and has been partly renovated. It has plasterboard walls and has large velux style windows, but nothing has been done with the floor and there is some light finishing to do. It is currently divided into two rooms and is habitable.
There is no denying the main part of the house will need some beauty treatments to make it the home of your dreams. A replacement kitchen will probably be on most people's list and redecoration, but with vision it could be the kind of home one sees in a magazine and dreams of and it is priced to represent the work which needs to be done.
With regard to the outbuildings, there are potential houses at either side of the main house which would make fabulous gites and there is also a 3 box stable block which could be used for equestrian purposes or converted. With an acre of land you would have some grazing of your own and there is plenty of land to rent in the area, maybe even one of the adjacent fields.
Although this is a rural property and at the heart of the countryside, it is less than 15 minutes from Lamballe the nearest town which has a large weekly market and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants amongst its half-timbered buildings. It's also famous as the home of Brittany's working horse breeding and training centre which hosts open air concerts throughout the summer. It is also less than half an hour from the Emerald Coast with its clean sandy beaches and safe swimming.
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.
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 thousands of companies in the area and commerce and industry are growing steadily.
