St Denoual - 4 bedroomed house with 1144m2 garden
This is a really outstanding house, renovated to a really good standard, full of character, brilliantly situated, close to the coast and with a spacious, well-planned interior which is easy and comfortable to live in. Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms make this ideal as a family home or a home where you can have friends and family to stay with plenty of room for everyone. The village centre is just a few minutes away and very charming, you'll find that the friendliness of the local people is one of the greatest pleasures of living here.
The property has a large fully fitted kitchen with a range of appliances and wooden units, most of which will be staying. There is a half height wall onto the dining area giving a wonderful ambience for cooking and dining with friends. Plenty of newly fitted double glazed windows ensure that the house is well-illuminated throughout and both the dining room and the lounge have attractive fireplaces, with a wood burning stove in the lounge and an electric heater in the dining room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility/laundry and a downstairs WC.
The spacious lounge has a double aspect over the garden and the open countryside beyond and double glass doors leading onto the terrace. A solid wooden staircase leads to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms, 1 shower room with WC and one bathroom with WC, all fresh, new and very tastefully done.
The home is quite energy efficient with 130m2 of habitable space heated by a wood burning stove and boosted with electric heaters when necessary, a cost-effective option. A brand new septic tank has been recently fitted so this is the ultimate stress free, move straight in and enjoy property. If you move quickly you might even get to harvest some of the vegetables blossoming in the neatly tended veggie patch!
The rest of the garden is also very tidy with a pretty mix of lawns, borders and neat walls made from local stone found on site. Some magnificent oaks border the plot which is around a quarter of an acre. Private parking and a handy wood/tool store complete the exterior perfectly. Just minutes away there is a village with a good range of commerce and the house lies between the two larger market towns of Lamballe and Matignon giving a great choice of shopping, doctors, dentists, schools, garages, restaurants and leisure facilities. The delights of Brittany's Emerald Coast are practically on your doorstep and the major new thalassotherapy centre being built at Val André is sure to boost the area commercially
The house also benefits from being in one of the most accessible areas of France, a relaxing 40 minute drive across the Emerald Coast takes you to St Malo and Dinard where you can catch a ferry or a plane to various parts of the UK: St Malo - Portsmouth, Poole and the Channel Islands; Dinard via RyanAir to London, Bristol, Birmingham or East Midlands. Other transport options include ferries to Roscoff, Caen or Cherbourg (1.5 - 2.5hrs) or flights to Brest, Rennes or Nantes (1.5 - 2.5 hrs).
