Brittany, Côtes-d'Armor, Le Mene, France

A41558JAM22 - As you approach this charming French property, a gravelled parking area welcomes you and offers the first glimpse of its rich history. From here, you can see the private chapel—an atmospheric building in need of renovation, once used during the war for gatherings to keep village spirits high. To the left lies the private orchard, a peaceful haven with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.

Passing through a characterful stone archway, you step into the delightful stone-walled courtyard. This enclosed space is bordered by two outbuildings: a generous barn ideal for storage or further development, and a second barn housing an ancient bread oven—an evocative reminder of the property’s past.

The main house is entered through the spacious kitchen, a warm and welcoming room featuring a woodburner, standard appliances, and ample space for dining. From here, the original servant staircase leads to what once served as servants’ quarters, now thoughtfully converted into bedrooms 4 and 5, along with a bathroom with bathtub. This staircase also provides access to the extensive attic.

A back door from the kitchen, sheltered by a porch, leads to the rear garden. The main entrance corridor offers a practical storage cupboard, boot rack, and coat area before opening into the formal lounge. This impressive room features a closed fireplace, double-aspect windows, patio doors to the rear garden, and a charming window seat overlooking the courtyard. Its generous proportions comfortably accommodate both a formal seating area and a dining space.

From the lounge, a wide staircase leads to the first floor. At its base are doors to the courtyard and a washroom with WC and sink. Along the corridor you will find the snug/library, a cosy, character-filled room that the current owners use as a winter lounge.

On the first floor, turning left from the staircase brings you to Bedroom 3—a bright, sunny room with a pretty window seat. A corridor then leads to a peaceful library area, where the owners currently enjoy a day bed. Nearby is a large, modern bathroom tastefully decorated in deep blue tones and fitted with a bathtub, sink, and WC.

Turning right from the main staircase, you will find the attic door and the entrance to the principal bedroom (Bedroom 1). This expansive room boasts fitted cupboards, window seats at the front, and a rear window allowing natural light to flow through. A door leads to an office, ideal as a study or dressing room. From here, a Jack-and-Jill shower room connects to Bedroom 2—a bright, welcoming double bedroom with access to the servant staircase, linking both the kitchen below and the upper floor bedrooms and attic.

Outside, the rear of the property offers a gravelled seating area and stone steps that lead up to the formal lawned garden—a tranquil setting perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.
