Pontrieux - 4 bedroomed house close to sea in superb location with extra potential for a Gite Complex - It's that old 'Home & Income' thing...
If you are looking for that perfect, tranquil country location, this is it! If you are looking for a beautiful property which also offers potential for a Gite Complex...this is it. If you are looking for exceptional value for money, then this is it! Basically if you are looking for all these things and a whole lot more then rest assured this property will tick all the boxes.
As you approach the property by what is effectively a private road you are immediately struck by the splendid beauty and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside but whilst being well detached is by no means isolated. The house is set on a 5,600 m2 plot which is mainly laid to lawn but has an abundance of established trees and shrubs.

 The main house, which offers 170 m2 living space, is a beautiful longere which has been lovingly restored by the existing owners to a very high standard that has seen all the original features retained where possible and has augmented this with some essential modern requirements, such as new fitted bathrooms, but all the while maintaining the original charm of the house. On entering the house you come into the lounge/diner and are immediately struck by the lovely features, original open fireplace at one end and the oak mezzanine floor above with a view high into the eaves. There are 4 bedrooms, 1 leading off the lounge on the ground floor and a further 3 off the spacious mezzanine level. All the bedrooms are of a good size and there is additional space on the mezzanine which could be utilised as a study etc. Back to the ground floor and leading off the dining room there is a well fitted out “country style” kitchen which again is very much in keeping with the style of the property. There is another dining area off the kitchen which could be used as a breakfast room and is currently separated from the main dining area by a wall installed by the current owners to suit their occupation. However if required this wall could be easily removed to make the whole area open plan as was the original situation. The house benefits from two fully fitted bathrooms, one upstairs and the other one downstairs which in addition to a bath and basin also has a fully tiled shower cubicle with “glass block” wall feature and quality shower attachment. There are separate WC’s upstairs and downstairs.

The “gite business” opportunity comes in the shape of a new build property adjacent to the main house. This building requires finishing but has thus far been built to a high specification and only requires the roof and all internal fitting out to be completed to the new owners’ plans and will then make either a very desirable residence or gites. All necessary services such as water, electricity and communications (computer and telephone), have been installed. This property and the main house both benefit from a brand new “fosse septique” drainage system which again the current owners have ensured has been installed to the very highest standards which take it beyond the norms and will provide many years of worry free use. The property is located approximately 5 minutes from the touristic town of Pontrieux a “petite cité de caractère” renowned for it’s riverside “lavoirs”. It is also close to the medieval towns of Guingamp and Lannion approximately 15 & 20 minutes respectively and also close to the stunning “Pink Granite” coast. This area of Brittany has an excellent road network and is well served by the cheap flight airports of Dinard and Brest as well as the ferry ports of Roscoff and Saint Malo, so fast and economic links to UK if needed.

There is a lot more that could be written about this property about the fact that there is a detached workshop with all services connected, and the very useful utility room which leads off the kitchen, but prospective purchasers will only be able to fully appreciate everything that is on offer here by personal viewing, and rest assured that you will not be disappointed.
