Maison de Maître, three bedroom family home with space for more conversion, stone outbuildings and extensive grounds including walled garden.
A substantial and character “maison de maitre” not far from the village of Le Trevoux. The house dates from 1883 and has been tastefully renovated over recent years, retaining period features. It offers truly spacious accommodation with lots of natural light. It has oil fired central heating and in addition each ground floor room has a wood burning stove. There is upvc double glazing.
The ground floor offers a spacious entrance hallway, large kitchen/ dining room with impressive fireplace and lounge with solid chestnut floor and superb original fireplace. To the rear of the accommodation is the cave. A small area of the cave has been divided off to form a boiler room. The remainder has lots of potential and it could, for example, make a granny flat.
On the first floor are a family bathroom, 3 bedrooms (one with a spacious shower room/toilet) and an office/library space. An area of the upper cave has yet to be developed but would be suitable for a fourth bedroom. From the landing a second staircase rises to the full height attic that could be converted into several further bedrooms.
Outside there is a large courtyard delineated by two large stone barns, one of which has been partially renovated with a new floor to the upper level and a new roof. There is a further large building with stone walls to 3 sides, currently used as garaging. Near the entrance to the property is a pretty stone drying house with a recent slate roof. Across the courtyard from the house is the entrance to a large walled garden. It has separate areas for lawned garden, soft fruit and vegetable beds. Beyond the walled garden is a park with established trees which could be used for horses or other animals. The grounds which total 12,600 sq metres are well maintained, completely fenced and largely private.
The site is thought to have been the location of a small monastery dating from early mediaeval times and one or two elements appear to have been incorporated into the existing buildings.
The property is a super family home but would also suit a business activity such as gites, b and b, or artist's studio (subject to p.p.). It is situated in a quiet lane with little traffic, yet there is easy access to main roads and the motorway network for commuting to Lorient or Quimper. A few minutes away is an auberge restaurant.
Charming Pont Aven is only 14 kilometres away and the property is ideally located to access the small coastal ports and magnificent sandy beaches.
