Brittany, Morbihan, France

A38887DEM56 - At the heart of a quiet hamlet at the end of a lane, this property and its large gardens offer total calm and privacy. The main house is south facing and with the large windows and generously proportioned rooms, is bathed with light within. A large living room with wood burning stove and a grand family size kitchen offer lots of space for entertaining. A third room currently used for storage could become a media room or ground floor bedroom. Via a passage under the original hand carved wooden staircase you arrive in a large laundry room with a WC, and a garden workshop next to it (with direct access to the exterior).

Upstairs are two large, luminous bedrooms, each with an original fireplace. Once bedroom has an ensuite shower room and WC fitted in 2011. A second shower room and WC accessed directly from the landing serves the other bedroom.

On the top floor is a large attic room currently used as a bedroom/dorm. This features two heating sources meaning it could be divided into two rooms if desired.

There are two large outbuildings. The first is attached to the property and was previously used to keep animals. The space within is vast and the first floor is supported by steel beams - it could be transformed into a multitude of uses if so desired.

The second outbuilding would have originally been part habitation, part used for animals and features some original carved stone and ironwork details on the facade.

Two air source heat pumps were installed in August 2025, and each main room has it's own heating unit with remote control (two in the large attic room), ensuring total comfort year round and helping to ensure low running costs. A recent hot water tank was installed in 2022 and should be good for many years to come.

The pool installed in 2005 has a shed adjacent which houses the filtration system. The area around the pool is fenced/gated and the pool has a rolling cover, ensuring that it can be kept free of debris when not in use.

The ground around the property comprise a tarmac parking area, lawns, shrubs, grand mature trees and a very productive orchard - producing vast quantities of delicious apples when the season arrives.

With easy access to the D767 and D768 you can reach the large towns of Pontivy, Baud, Josselin and Locminé, and further afield the south coast of Vannes, Lorient and beyond.
