Here we have an impressive 4- Bedroom stone Longere with views over open fields, near to the coast and local amenities.
This substantial stone longere sits in a quiet corner of the sought-after town of Plerin, just 6km (4 miles) from the beach, 5km (3 miles) from a shopping centre and 3km (2 miles) from the arterial N12 dual carriageway providing road links to Brest and Rennes. Renovated to a high standard, it offers generous living accommodation and a fitted kitchen on the ground floor and four bedrooms on the first floor.
The gardens include a lawn overlooking a corn field and a large vegetable plot complemented by a greenhouse. A further lockable outbuilding constructed in stone provides useful storage space. Parking space is in the gated drive and in the large garage which includes workshop and storage space both at ground and loft levels. This home really does offer quality accommodation in a peaceful setting with easy access to the various facilities and amenities to meet the demands of modern life!

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.
