Description
A44621DEM56 - Exceptional 15th-Century Former House of Justice with Tower Staircase, Landscaped Garden and Further Conversion Potential Near Ploërmel.
Just 40 minutes from the stunning Gulf of Morbihan and only 10 minutes from the N24 dual carriageway, this remarkable 15th-century property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Breton history without sacrificing modern comfort.
Dating from 1468, this distinguished stone residence stands in the heart of a charming Breton village with over a thousand years of history. For centuries it occupied a central role within the community, serving as the local courthouse from the 15th to the 18th centuries before becoming known as the Manoir de la Tour following the French Revolution.
In later years it housed various village businesses before being carefully acquired and restored by its current owners in 2017.
Today, this unique home blends authentic heritage features with comfortable modern living, creating a property that is both historically significant and ready for immediate enjoyment.
Accommodation
Offering approximately 143 m² of living space, the property provides a warm and welcoming interior full of character.
The ground floor comprises:
Entrance hall
Fully fitted and equipped kitchen
Spacious living and dining room of impressive proportions
Wood-burning stove
Shower room with WC
One of the home's most striking features is its original stone staircase, housed within the medieval tower, which leads to the upper floor.
The first floor offers:
Three bedrooms
Dressing area
Family shower room
Separate WC
Throughout the house, original architectural details sit comfortably alongside modern improvements, including traditional French-style ceilings and carefully preserved historic elements.
Exciting Future Potential
Above the living accommodation lies approximately 45 m² of attic space which is fully convertible, subject to any necessary permissions. This area could create additional bedrooms, a home office, studio, games room or guest accommodation.
The property also benefits from a substantial cellar which offers further possibilities for development, storage, workshop space or a wine cellar.
Outside
The enclosed grounds extend to approximately 656 m² and have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide attractive outdoor living space.
Features include:
Mature landscaped gardens
Fruit trees

The Appeal of Ploërmel and Brocéliande
One of the property's strongest lifestyle attractions is its proximity to Ploërmel, widely regarded as one of the most desirable towns in inland Brittany.
Residents enjoy easy access to:
The magnificent Lac au Duc, renowned for walking, cycling, fishing, sailing, kayaking and watersports.
The highly regarded Bluegreen Golf du Lac au Duc, set beside one of Brittany's largest inland lakes.
The historic centre of Ploërmel, with its cafés, restaurants, weekly markets and independent shops.
The famous Astronomical Clock, one of Brittany's most fascinating heritage attractions.
The legendary Forest of Brocéliande, forever linked to the myths of Merlin, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

A Home with a Story
Properties of this age and provenance rarely come to market in such condition. Combining nearly seven centuries of history, authentic architectural character, modern comfort and scope for further development, this former courthouse represents far more than a home; it is an opportunity to become the next custodian of an important piece of Breton heritage.
An exceptional and genuinely unique property that deserves to be experienced in person. Register your interest now.
