Here we have a SOLID STONE BUILT FARMHOUSE, habitable now but in need of a refresh, situated in a QUIET RURAL LOCATION a few minutes away from the local village, with a stone barn as a LARGE OUTBUILDING and spacious grounds totalling around 5930 m2, about ONE AND A HALF ACRES.
The current owners have done quite a few renovations to the property which are now ready for new owners to take on and further improve/extend. The current owners have the original plans to convert the stone barn into a two bed, two bathroom GUEST GITE with open plan living accommodation downstairs.
The property is accessed via double electric gates leading to a large courtyard area providing ample parking for vehicles.
MAIN HOUSE:
Ground floor:
Farmhouse kitchen with a wood-burner, a spacious living room, a WC, a tiled room at the back with double sink and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher, currently used as a Utility room complete with wood burning stove, plus a 'Cave' which houses pantry cupboards and freezers. This room could be joined to the rest of the 'Cave' and renovated to make further accommodation. The Utility room leads via double doors to a very private sunken terrace for entertaining and smaller enclosed pretty garden.
The living room has a large wood burner which heats the whole of the upstairs. To the left of the renovated fireplace there is a door giving access to the workshop. This serves as a wood store cupboard which means that wood does not have to be bought into the house as can be filled directly from the workshop.
First floor:
Spacious landing leading to 1 double bedroom with a private bathroom and separate shower / WC, and a second double bedroom with a private shower room / WC and a large double glass sink.
Outside:
Good size workshop situated at the gable end of the house.
The barn provides approx. 50 m2 of floor area.
Nice South facing patio/decking which large BBQ.
Some More Features and Notes:
Both the front roof and large rear roof have been totally replaced and the property now benefits from double glazed windows to the front together with two double glazed stable doors, one to the kitchen and one to the living room.
The fencing in the main garden area could be adapted if space for livestock such as goats, sheep, pigs or ponies was required. The current owners have planted many fruit trees and ornamental trees and shrubs. There is currently a good sized vegetable plot bordered by railway sleepers and accessed through an archway planted with a climbing rose and grape vines.
Some Breton furniture may be available for sale by separate negotiation.
The property is within 12km of the picturesque Chateau town of Josselin which has a thriving Saturday market and also Ploermel which has an excellent market on a Friday. It is also within easy reach of the pretty town of Auray on the estuary and Vannes.
The department of Morbihan in the south-eastern part of Brittany has a coastal area offering a micro-climate, the Morbihan Gulf on the south coast; where you will find the ancient town of Vannes. Morbihan is bordered by Cotes-d'Armor to the north, Ille -et-Vilaine to the east, Pays de la Loire to the southeast and Finistere to the west.
Morbihan's main activities are agriculture, fishing and tourism. Oysters are cultivated in the Gulf of Morbihan. Tourism is popular along the Morbihan coastline and in the medieval towns and villages dotted around the countryside.
