A41950SIS22 - Own a Piece of French History – 16th-Century Townhouse with Commercial Unit in the Heart of Dinan, Brittany

A rare opportunity to purchase an elegant slice of French heritage in one of Brittany’s most picturesque and historic towns. This charming 16th-century listed townhouse is located in Dinan’s pedestrian-friendly historic center, surrounded by cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and weekly markets — all just steps away.
The property is just 30 km from St Malo ferry port (UK and Channel Islands) and 60 km from Rennes Airport, with direct flights to London, Paris, and Amsterdam.

A Rare Find – Full of Character and Possibilities
The south-facing stone townhouse spans four floors with open views over Dinan’s rooftops and a picturesque pedestrian square. Original features have been carefully preserved, including exposed wooden beams, solid oak floors, stone walls, and 16th-century details.

Major structural renovations completed since 2023, with full approval from Bâtiments de France, include a new roof, double-glazed wooden windows, and reinforced beams.

The interior is a blank canvas, ready to be finished according to your needs — whether as a luxury family home, a holiday retreat, or up to four self-contained apartments for seasonal or long-term rental.

Ground Floor Commercial Unit – Flexible Use
The self-contained commercial unit includes a cellar with a small kitchen and toilet, and has two entrances to maximize footfall from both the street and the pedestrian square. Vacant from June 2026, it can be used as a retail shop, office, or hospitality outlet, or easily let as-is. Direct internal access to the living quarters is possible, offering extra flexibility.
