East of Lamballe -a pair of cottages already earning income!
Situated at the heart of a thriving Breton village just 9km from the centre of Lamballe and less than half an hour from Brittany's stunning Emerald Coast this pair of stone cottages are an exciting investment proposition - live in one and rent one out or rent them both out, they currently generate rental income of over 1,000 euros per month. Built of local granite and basically in good order they could do with a little interior refreshment, but the current tenants are quite happy with them
House 1 - The front door opens into a large lounge which also has a fireplace, double doors to the garden and stairs to the first floor. From the lounge there is a door to a good sized kitchen/dining room behind which there is a utilty room, a bathroom and a separate toilet. A rear door leads to the garden which is laid to grass.
The stairs to the first floor from the lounge lead to 2 bedrooms and a second staircase near the kitchen leads to a further bedroom and a large attic which could be converted into a bedroom. There is the space to make an upstairs bathroom should you wish to.
There is also a large shed at the rear, approx 40m2 which could be used for storage, as a workshop or games area.
House 2 The front door opens into an open kitchen and dining room which then leads on to a separate lounge off which there is a bedroom (or you could use it as a playroom or study), a shower room and a separate toilet. A rear door leads to the garden which is laid to grass and at the side of the property are 2 garages.
The stairs to the first floor are situated near the kitchen and lead to 2 further bedrooms.
Situated just 10 minutes from Lamballe, there is lots to do right on the doorstep. The houses are half an hour south of the coastal villages of Erquy and Pleneuf Val André where you can enjoy the safe swimming and clean sandy beaches or maybe indulge in some water sports; fishing, sailing, kayaking, there's lots to choose from. There are lots of attractions just a short drive away, Cobac Park, St Malo Aquarium, GP Karting, riding at several stables including on the beach, small medieval cities such as Moncontour, the summer season of outdoor concerts and events at Lamballe or Jugon les Lacs, shopping or cultural excursions in Dinan or Rennes.
It's also very easy to get here with superb access of under half an hour to Dinard with its RyanAir flights from London, Birmingham, Bristol and East Midlands and St Malo with its ferries from Portsmouth, Poole and the Channel Islands. Other transport options include ferries to Roscoff, Caen or Cherbourg, flights to Brest, Rennes or Nantes or even the TGV to Lamballe or Rennes. In fact, this is one of the most accessible areas of France and even weekend breaks in your own French home are a real possibility if you choose to use one yourself.
