Here we have a Fantastic 4 / 5 Bedroom Countryside Home offering Peace and Tranquillity.
If you're seeking the quiet life in the countryside with only the sound of twittering birds to break the silence, a well-maintained stone-built longere with delightful gardens, stunning green views over fields and the privacy of not being over-looked then this house merits serious consideration. The current owners are passionate gardeners and it shows! Situated in a tiny hamlet of five properties 2km (just over a mile) from the village of Plemy, 4km (2.5 miles) from the village of Plouguenast and 24km (15 miles) from the coast, it offers 4 / 5 bedrooms, a large, south-facing sun terrace and a second very private terrace to the side. With living space of around 185m2, it sits on a plot of 2,550m2, is surrounded by non-constructible land and presents a fantastic opportunity to escape from the hurly-burly of the outside world.
THE ACCOMMODATION:
LOUNGE / DINING ROOM / OPEN FITTED KITCHEN (approx 55m2) - the main living area has a very bright and airy feel to it with some exposed stone walls and wallpaper to others. It offers views over the front garden and to fields beyond and features a wood-burning fire with its substantial granite surround. A patio door provides access to the south-facing sun terrace. The fire usually suffices to heat the whole house and electric radiators are installed almost throughout in case of need. A solid oak free-standing cupboard and an oak dining table with six chairs are available to purchase although may have been sold separately in the interim.
The fitted kitchen in solid oak was installed in 2016 and its appliances carry a two-year guarantee. It includes a serving counter, a five-hob gas cooker with extractor fan, an electric oven, a fitted microwave oven, a fridge and a double sink.
A fairly wide corridor leads from the corner of the kitchen and main living area to the utility room. Along this corridor you'll find a fitted storage cupboard with shelves and hanging space, a shower cubicle, a sink unit, plumbing for a washing machine and further accommodation as follows:
SEPARATE WC - approx 2m2 - tiled, with a wash basin and a large mirror.
LARGE OFFICE / POTENTIAL BEDROOM (approx 21m2) - with a tiled floor and patio door giving access to the outdoor terrace.
UTILITY ROOM (approx 20.9m2) - with a tiled floor, a double sink and plenty of shelving.

From the lounge, a quality staircase in solid oak leads to the first floor accommodation with a parquet floor (except the bathroom) set on concrete blocks.
MASTER BEDROOM WITH DRESSING ROOM (approx 16m2 + 1.9m2 above a height of 1.8m with additional space below this height) - tastefully decorated in pastel shades with a programmable electric radiator, wallpaper to the walls and offering a fantastic view over the garden and rolling hills beyond.

BOX ROOM - providing useful storage space. Note that it is not big enough to take a bed.
BATHROOM (approx 4.7m2 above a height of 1.8m with additional space below this height) - tiled to all walls and floor, featuring a good size corner bath, a large shower unit with two separate shower heads, two separate wash basins, wall storage cupboards / cabinets and a heated towel rail.
SEPARATE WC - approx 2m2.
OUTSIDE:
To the front of the house is a large, south-facing terrace. A further terrace to the side of the house is extremely private, being behind a stone wall and enjoys the sunshine through to mid-afternoon.
The driveway has a fairly new sliding gate giving access to the very pretty gardens to the front of the house which are divided by ornamental paved paths into three lawned areas and are interspersed with an abundance of flowering plants and bushes to reflect the owners' passion for gardening. There are also fruit trees and bushes in various locations, namely apple, pear, blackcurrant, raspberry, vine peach and hazelnut along with a vegetable patch. The lawned areas extend to the side and round to the back of the house.
LARGE GARAGE (approx 88m2) - with a concrete floor, lighting and power points and a large double entrance door in solid oak which was fairly recently installed and benefits from a ten-year guarantee.
The tiled roof of the house is in very good condition and a satellite dish in in place.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The house benefits from double glazing throughout in aluminium, thick stone walls with a layer of internal insulation and programmable electric radiators almost throughout, as well as the wood-burning fire in the lounge.

The department of Cotes d'Armor is the northern most department in the Region of Brittany, with the English Channel to the north, Ille-et-Vilaine to the east, Morbihan to the south and Finistere to the west it is a sunshine gem.
The picturesque Émeraude Coast looks north to the English Channel and is packed with charming seaside resorts and old fishing villages. Most of the towns of the interior were founded in the Middle Ages. The department's southern half is crossed by the Noires Mountains that run west to east with rivers emptying to the south into the Bay of Biscay and to the north into the Channel.
Along the coast, fishing was once important but is now secondary to the cultivation of fruit, oats, potatoes and wheat and of course tourism.
