Front of property
This appealing detached Neo-Breton property can be a family home with an opportunity for further bedrooms in the attic; a home with a B&B business or two homes in one, in fact what ever you want it to be!
The configuration and location of this home makes it ideal for so many different types of buyers. When we purchased the property the upstairs had been converted into a 2 bedroom flat with the internal stairs remaining but with the flat also having its own stairs and entrance at the rear.
The owners lived downstairs and ran the top flat as a successful B&B business. This arrangement was ideal for our needs to and has provided us with two comfortable 2 bedroom flats.
However, it would be incredibly easy to change this large property back into a 5/6 bedroom family home, by converting the lounge/dining room back into a sizeable master bedroom (or two smaller rooms) and the kitchen area into an en-suite bathroom.
The mezzanine area leading from the dining room could either remain an office as it is now or be transformed into a bedroom/dressing room/area or additional relaxation area.
The house is located in the heart of a thriving and friendly village with the restaurant; bakery, Tabac; post office; 2 hairdressers and village shop no more than a couple of minutes walk away. Throughout the year there are numerous local community and social events including a Fest-Noz, which is traditional dancing; regular boules competitions and an afternoon/evening of Breton, classical and popular music finishing with a firework display to name but a few!
The village is situated 5 mins drive from the pretty old port and marina of La Roche Bernard; 25 mins drive from the lovely medieval town of Vannes and 15 mins drive from a sandy beach.
The property has double glazing throughout; main drainage; ADSL; a new wood burner and all the windows have security shutters. Each flat has its own water heaters (one new downstairs) and consumer unit (one new downstairs) and the electricity and water can be read/controlled separately.
The ground floor consists of:
• A spacious entrance hall.
• Large lounge with triple French patio doors leading onto a part of the front patio and new wood burner.
