manor from 1664

Mid 17th century 'ferme manoir' (farm manor house), with many carefully restored original features, giving this unique property plenty of character. Nor will its location leave you indifferent. Set in idyllic countryside among rolling hills and lush vegetation and only 5 minutes walk from the quaint Blavet river. And being situated on a no through road, a haven of peace and calm is guaranteed. The manor house was once part of a bigger farm property, steeped in a long and interesting history. It has been renovated to a very high standard by a local craftsman, whose work is regularly featured in French home magazines, using traditional techniques and where possible ecological products. Hemp, for instance, is used to insulate the walls, which have been plastered with a chalk-based product. This reduces the risk of home-based allergies. The house features a large lounge room, with an open plan kitchen, 4 bedrooms - one with an ensuite shower - and a bathroom. The huge open fire places, exposed oak beams and stone walls make the living space cosy and charming. The living room is tiled with traditional tomettes and all the bedrooms have parquet coverings. The windows are double glazed, a septic tank has been installed and the groundwork to install a geothermal floor heating system is complete. The slate roof has been repaired and reattached with new materials. The manor house also features a huge attic with independent access by an external staircase. The original chestnut wood beams are in excellent condition and new windows have been installed. With a little additional work the 55 M2 space offers the potential to add a self-contained apartment for guests (e.g. a B&B), as a huge playroom for the kids, or as a retreat for the parents. Whatever you do with the space, the stunning view over the Blavet valley will always be there. The garden is well established and 1850 M2 in size, featuring a variety of mature trees, including oaks and walnuts and a 500 year old Taxus. The garden has a family-sized above ground swimming pool. The property represents an ideal primary or secondary residence. It could also be used as a B&B or for holiday rentals, with good income potential.  The property is offered for sale, including most of the furniture shown and is available for immediate occupation.

There is the possibility to buy adjacent land (5500 m2) which includes another 17 th century stone building, with a building permit to renovate it for use as a "gite" i.g. , price: 67.000.- Euro
