In front of the main house you will find a large gravelled forecourt divided into two distinct areas of which one is used as a sitting out area and has a view over the mature gardens which feature lawns, flowering plants, trees and bushes. The other, which extends to a cluster of three outbuildings, provides abundant car parking space. Close to the gardens you eill find an orchard which includes apple, hazelnut and plum trees.
The cluster of three outbuildings comprises:
- a large hangar constructed in corrugated metal on a wood frame which has previously been used to accommodate animals. The floor is part concrete, part compressed earth.
- a former cow barn constructed in stone with a corrugated metal roof, which could be used for horses or other animals. It has a concrete floor and is boarded out above the ceiling beams to provide additional storage space.
- a further hangar constructed in corrugated metal on a wooden frame, providing a further storage space and can serve as a garage.
Behind the cluster of three outbuildings is the small field enclosed within fencing and hedgerows.
A further stone-built outbuilding is set back a little from the forecourt area and has a small lawn with flowering bushes just in front of it as well as an original well. This building is believed to an old bread oven and has floor space of around 25m= with a further boarded out area above the ceiling beams, ideal for storing garden equipment etc.
A final stone-built outbuilding sits to the left of the house adjacent to the sitting out area, is divided into three separate sections and has a concrete floor and an electricity supply to the two principal units.

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.
