Property Description

TWO FULLY RENOVATED HOUSES & A COTTAGE TO FINISH, OUTBUILDING WITH HOT TUB, plus double GARAGE, standing on a PLOT OF 5,000 sq. metres (just over an acre) on the edge of a thriving village in central Brittany, about 7kms north of Pontivy, and about 10 kms from the renowned Lac de Guerledan, being an established tourist attraction.

This is more than simply a business, it’s a lifestyle. Start a new life in Brittany in this stunning property, providing an income as well as a lovely home. A grand old “Maison de Maitre”, currently let as a holiday property, plus a converted barn as the owners home as well as a cottage renovation to finish to provide further accommodation. Both the main houses are sympathetically restored, retaining many original features, set in a perfect location on the edge of the busy little village of Kergrist.

The property benefits from mains drainage (so no worries about fosses conforming to new regulations), gas central heating, mains water and electricity, all electricity and telephone wires are underground. Broadband internet is in place.

This charming property has been the current owners home and business for the past 17 years, a successful letting history with repeat and referral business as well as new clients each year.

The business potential could be enhanced by the addition of further bedrooms on the third floor of the letting house, completion of the cottage and even the addition of a swimming pool and tennis court.

RENTAL INCOME

On average the holiday house is let for around 20 weeks of the year, this is as much by choice as market lead. It remains open all year round but the owners refrain from accepting bookings if family and friends want to stay, or if there is maintenance work to do. The finishing of the cottage and conversion of the second floor of the holiday let would substantially increase the revenue, as would the addition of a swimming pool and/or tennis court.

The nearby, historic town of Pontivy, is just a 10 minute drive away. There are good schools, restaurants, shops and hospitals. This is a university town, a lively area of Brittany.

This property is within easy reach of all three coasts, and 10 minutes drive from a huge lake with water sports and beaches.
