French property in Brittany - Finistere - Interesting renovation project at a sensible price on a solid building sitting in a quiet spot near a quaint village.

This house sits in a quiet spot near a quaint village with the usual day to day shops. Gourin, a large bustling market town is about ten minutes away and Quimper is probably about 30 minutes away.

The house itself needs a total renovation but it has been priced acordingly and for someone with a bit of imagination and a decent budget it could make a lovely family home.

At the moment the house has a lounge, a kitchen, four bedrooms, a bathroom, a wc and an extension at the back with three rooms but its reallly a blank canvas and could be set out differently.

There is a large barn and a decent sized garden needing some tlc but again it could be interesting.

Area
Sud Finistere is a lovely coastal part of Brittany easily accessible from many ferry ports and airports. The coastline, wonderful quiet beaches and small fishing ports are very important both to the economy of the region and for the pleasure of its inhabitants and visitors.

Most of my properties are within 30 minutes of the coast and are usually about the same distance from Quimper, Concarneau or Pont Aven. If you are into boats in any way this area is for you.

Quimper, sitting on the river Odet, is a beautiful cathedral city with a great old town centre, with its twin spires, its lovely market hall, its narrow streets, its fascinating architecture and its many interesting small shops.

The large fishing and leisure port of Concarneau has lots of great restaurants and bars and all the shops you would need for everyday needs, DIY or whatever. The interesting old walled city draws many visitors and dominates the harbour area. Further round is a beautiful promenade and beaches, with all sorts of water sports or events the norm.

The climate ensures a colourful countryside, with rhododendrums, azaleas, magnolias, camelias and floral displays everywhere. The culture and traditions in the area ensure that there is always some festival or event happening and all tastes are catered for as far as the musical scene is concerned.

All in all a great place to live where the locals will welcome you with open arms. They love a laugh, love to sing, love to dance and generally love life and are determined to make the most of it. Hopefully you will be able to join them!
