Côtes-D'armor: Melvez Bridge. A Rare and Remarkable Opportunity. Former Breton Train Station to Renovate.

Property Description

Built between 1891-93, this is a standard Réseau Breton village station house, located on the line between Guingamp and Carhaix-Plouger in central Brittany, north-west France. Just 20 minutes from Guingamp and 40 minutes from Brittany's spectacular north coast, this former train station offers an extraordinary renovation project brimming with character, history and potential. Set within its own land and woodland, this highly distinctive property is a true one-of-a-kind opportunity to create an unforgettable home. With magnificent arched windows, original wooden floors and even the preserved ticket office, it is a building that tells a story and is now ready for its next chapter.
Inside, the main building retains its authentic layout and generous proportions. The ground floor comprises three rooms, filled with light from the impressive arched windows that once welcomed travellers. The original ticket window remains in place, as do the waiting room benches, rare and charming features that add undeniable personality. Upstairs, three further rooms, a bathroom and a WC provide the framework for spacious bedrooms or creative living areas. Every corner reflects the building's heritage, making this an inspiring canvas for an ambitious and imaginative renovation.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a former goods hall offering substantial additional space - ideal for a workshop, studio, reception area or even further accommodation. The original freight store weighing scales are even intact. A second small building adds yet more flexibility.
The land extends to include both open grounds and private woodland, including a stream, creating a peaceful, natural setting. A few local trains still pass daily, and stop on the adjacent platform, a gentle reminder of the station's past, adding charm and atmosphere rather than disturbance.
The surrounding area combines countryside tranquillity with excellent accessibility. The vibrant town of Guingamp provides shops, restaurants, services and TGV connections, while the breathtaking beaches and dramatic cliffs of Brittany's north coast are within easy reach for seaside adventures. This is a region celebrated for its quality of life, strong community spirit and unspoilt landscapes.
This is not simply a renovation project; it is a chance to own and restore a piece of French railway history. Perfect for those seeking a unique lifestyle property, an architectural statement home, or an inspiring live-work space, this former station offers character that cannot be replicated. Not just for train enthusiasts, but for anyone who values heritage, creativity and authenticity, it represents a truly rare opportunity.
