Situated in a peaceful hamlet near Kergloff in central Finistère, this delightful and unexpectedly spacious Breton property offers a rare combination of character, flexibility and historical interest. Created through the thoughtful joining of an original stone cottage and neighbouring dwelling, the property now provides approximately 148m² of accommodation arranged around a series of charming and versatile living spaces.
Steeped in local history, the house is believed to have connections with Sébastien Le Balp, the famous Breton lawyer and leader of the 1675 Bonnets Rouges (Red Caps) uprising. The property has been referenced in local guides and historical publications, adding an intriguing dimension to what is already a highly individual home.
The heart of the property is the impressive open-plan living area measuring approximately 11.2m x 5.7m. This bright and welcoming space combines a living room, dining area and kitchen into one substantial room ideal for modern family living and entertaining. A magnificent feature fireplace provides a striking focal point, adding warmth, character and a sense of history to the room. The generous proportions of the space make it perfect for both everyday living and larger social gatherings, while the blend of original character and practical modern design creates an atmosphere that is both comfortable and inviting
Two elegant arched doorways provide access to different parts of the home. One leads to a useful bathroom and utility room measuring approximately 3.5m x 2.1m. The second leads to a staircase that rises to one of the property's most charming features: a beautiful library and reading room.
This delightful library space offers a peaceful retreat and includes a mezzanine office area, perfect for home working, creative pursuits or simply enjoying a quiet corner of the house. From here, a door opens directly onto the private garden, allowing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The library also provides access to the adjoining section of the property. Within this area is a generous double bedroom measuring approximately 4.7m x 3.5m, complete with an en-suite shower room. Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating an attractive guest suite or principal bedroom. A useful grenier (attic space) provides additional storage and further possibilities for development, subject to any necessary permissions.
Returning to the original cottage section, a staircase leads to two further spacious double bedrooms, each measuring approximately 4.9m x 3m. These rooms enjoy pleasant outlooks and ample space for furniture. A separate family bathroom serves this floor, while a second staircase provides convenient access back down to the main living area, enhancing the property's practical layout and circulation.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout and electric heating, offering comfort and ease of maintenance. Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 1,313m² and include a private garden that provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, gardening or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
One of the most exciting aspects of this property is the untapped potential within the adjoining house. The ground floor, currently utilised for storage, already benefits from access to plumbing and electricity. Subject to the necessary consents, this space could be incorporated into the existing accommodation to create additional living space, a larger family home, workshop, studio or self-contained guest accommodation. Equally, it offers excellent potential for the creation of a separate gîte or holiday rental, providing an opportunity for supplementary income in this popular region of Brittany.
The location offers the perfect balance between rural charm and accessibility. The vibrant market town of Carhaix-Plouguer is just a short drive away and provides a comprehensive range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools and healthcare facilities. The area is renowned for its beautiful countryside, walking routes and rich Breton culture.
For those travelling to and from the region, the property is well placed for access to Morlaix with its TGV rail connections to Paris, Roscoff ferry port providing convenient sea links to the UK and Ireland, and Brest Airport offering domestic and international flights.
Whether you are seeking a permanent family residence, a characterful holiday home, a property with income-generating potential, or simply a unique piece of Breton heritage, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property full of charm, history and possibilities in one of Brittany's most authentic and picturesque regions.
