Plemet, Central Brittany - Delightful 2 bedroomed cottage with 1360m2 garden
This former SNCF crossing guard’s cottage was built in the mid 19th century and has been completely renovated by artisans, including pressure hose rendering of exterior, new rooves, new sun room extension and new central heating throughout. With two bedrooms, lounge with log burner, fitted kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet and 1/3 acre of easily managed land it would make an ideal holiday home.

Located between Loudéac and Merdrignac and less than an hour from miles and miles of Brittany’s beautiful coastline with clean sandy beaches and safe swimming, this home is ideally placed for you to enjoy all that the region has to offer. Formerly a railway property, it is close to the cycle track which was created when the line was decommissioned. Also suitable for walkers or horse riding, this pleasant meander will give you a chance to really appreciate the stunning countryside.
The nearby village centre of Plemet has plenty of commerce including a boulangerie, restaurants, banks and local stores with a supermarket on the edge of the village. The nearby river Lié is used for canoeing and you will also be able to fish locally.
So, on to the all important interior of the property which is ready to enjoy. A newly added sun lounge gives a great space for eating, entertaining or just sitting and admiring the wonderful view. Beyond that there is a cosy lounge with fireplace, a fitted kitchen, small boiler room, shower room and separate WC. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one accessed via the other.

The central heating and water heating are taken care of by a new gas system and the property is in very good order overall. The newly fenced garden is laid to lawn with mature bushes and fruit trees making it very low maintenance. A large wood store and shed give space to store outside equipment and lawn mower.
When you feel you want to go further afield, the beautiful medieval towns of Moncontour (25mins) and Dinan (50 mins) are a delight to explore with Dinan having many shops, restaurants, galleries and a large weekly market . Lake de Guerladen, a spectacular lake with canoe and motor boat hire is just 25 minutes away. Loudeac (10 mins), Pontivy (25mins) and Rennes (1hr) also have much to offer and Les Aquatides swimming pool with flume in Loudeac is a great facility to have so close by.
Access is so easy, whether it's for you or your guests. About an hour away are the ferries of St Malo which arrive from Portsmouth, Poole and the Channel Islands or Dinard airport with its regular RyanAir flights from East Midlands, London, Birmingham and Bristol. If that's not enough, in easy reach are Roscoff, Brest, Rennes, Nantes, Caen and Cherbourg with a variety of ferries and flights from all over the UK; there are also TGV stations at Rennes and St Brieuc.
