Welcome to a House in Brittany and Normandy too...
A House in Brittany’s raison d’être is simple
We’re rebuilding our website to show you property from a network of immobilieres, some large, some small which, ‘in a bunch’, you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Bits of it – possibly… but all of it? – Unlikely. At price bands from top to bottom, architectural styles from ancient to modern. There’s a natural liking for the quaint and the quirky – fom the renovation project – to restored chateau perfection… All in all what we’ve come to be known for, which sums up our marketing mix; from “Ruin to Renovation” from “Maison to Manoir” from “Petite to Palatial” and from “Ooh and Aah to Ooh-la-lah”. If we didn’t keep on using that phrase then I know that someone else would nick it!

Viewing and buying property via A House in Brittany Limited will cost you no more than dealing via any other means… ie: traveling to view or seeking out individual agents and their properties on their own – sometimes infuriatingly complex sites. Why is it at no cost to purchaser or vendor? Agents with whom we work pay us a commission from their own agency fees when your sale/purchase is complete and nothing until then. The buying process is quite different from that which has evolved within the UK and often people prefer to enjoy the easier route of assistance from those who have experienced the one or more moves in a country where mistakes and misunderstanding can easily be made… Our method straightens out the hairpin bends of buying abroad. Our agents will take you from viewing… through Compromis to Completion (Acte Finale) and beyond!
We update every day this and our FB page every day…if it’s ‘In’ we put it ‘On’

Looking for a house in Brittany or Normandy?
Welcome to our shop window…
Our new site is being added to daily from the stock on our original site. So, you’ll be making the right move if you look here first for Brittany and Normandy. Enough properties to allow you to choose, if not the house, then properties similar in price & type to your ideal goal and we can do some searching for you from amongst our contacts •••
Trading as A House in Brittany and Normandy too, we are a totally independent introduction agency, working with associate immobilieres and Notaires across both regions who have more on their own books when you visit than are displayed here. Our service costs you nothing extra. In fact, personally, I wouldn’t part with a penny to a UK agent (or French for that matter) based introduction agency… believe it or not there have been some that did that. We receive our payment from the selling agent, by way of commission from their agency fee – but only after you have signed the final documentation…when the house you are looking for is yours and the keys are in your hand. At that point our agent will make sure that all of your services (those that can be) are organised to your satisfaction….No extra charges ••• Our raison d’etre is simple…to provide properties which are (still) for sale by updating our site daily, as we hear of new houses or of the sale of those displayed.The first thing we do when you make contact is check the up to date availability of the property which interests you ••• Then we will make an appointment for you to view those that you mention and others from our agent’s portfolio that you may also (on arrival) decide you wish to see…
We hope you find our site simple to navigate – and we hope you enjoy the experience and, as soon as you see properties that appeal to you, contact us via the response boxes on the property page or give us a call. Good Hunting! ••• NOTE:- If you are a Brittany or Normandy based Immobilier or Notaire reading this and you would like wider representation through ‘A House in Brittany and Normandy too’ – then write us a note on our ‘contact’ page Let’s discuss how we can help in bringing more buyers to your area.
In the past we have operated in all areas noted here… We are working on re-establishing links here once more… Happy to communicate with Independent Immobiliers, Commercial Agents and Notaires with a view toward working together

Traveling by Air?
Click HERE to visit Brittany Tourism’s Page… This shows you all Departure & Arrival Airports for flights to Brittany.
Ferry?
People travel to view by all means of transport – but after doing the journey 6 times a year for 20 years Ferry is best and the western channel is even better Portsmouth to St Malo… Cherbour, Caen or Roscoff and that pretty much means Brittany Ferries
Searching for a house to buy?
We are A House in Brittany and that’s probably what you are after and why you have arrived here. Our site is about houses in Brittany and Normandy. It’s simple…You see something you like the look of…Call us as above
OR…make contact via the forms at the base of each property page…
OR if you’re interested in viewing or enquiring about more than one (of course you are)…then make up a a shortlist of properties as you browse – those that ‘light your lamp’ and click to send them with your contact details and we will get back to you…et Robert est votre oncle! Voilá!
We work closely with agents across the peninsula who are happy for us to display their wares… In the past our site has often been easier for browsers to find than the agent’s own – I’m hoping that is still the case – otherwise we’re doomed!
Good Hunting!
btw... you will pay no more for your property when you allow us to do the hard work for you… We receive a percentage of the agency fee but only when you have completed on your property and not before!
Selling a Property in Brittany or Normandy?
If you own and are selling a property in Brittany or Normandy and you wish to display it on our site we must first place it with one of the registered agents we work with… Your house will then appear on our own site and that of the agent on the ground over there. There are NO charges for this – The purchaser pays the fees when buying and we (sometimes – but are working on making it always) receive a fee from the selling agent we have placed your property with.
The text that follows on this page is largely useful for our search engine optimisation purposes (I can’t remember who told me that). ‘Avids’ though, who are interested in reading every detail, each nook and cranny etc., (you know who you are) may read on. Those that don’t won’t be missing much!…
From the Brittany border in the East, where Ille et Vilaine meets Normandy, to the tip of the Finistere, (Crozon) Peninsula at Le Conquet in the West… and from Pleubian in the North of the Cotes d’Armor to Arzal, at the South Eastern most corner of the Morbihan… and just before the right turn into the Loire Atlantique… Brittany offers topography, geography and geology that confirms a shared heritage with Great Britain’s own ‘profile’… Brittany accepted the UK’s ‘friend request’ hundreds of years ago – but most recently… following WWII with France’s liberation (but it was Brittany & Normandy’s own occupation which, when allied forces ended it, made a good relationship even more special). You are ‘Big Britain’ and we are ‘Little Britain’ my old neighbour ‘the field farmer’ said as he was explaining why we should be friends after cutting down a stand of laurels which we thought were ours – but he said were his! Oh how we laughed…. They were in fact his, so we had a beer together! Brittany’s people are warm, friendly and accepting of newcomers. Newcomers who are constantly reminded of how Britain was back in the 1950s, when roads were empty and the population allowed for agriculture to fully supply the population with its needs and where an uncrowded countryside is dotted with hamlets, villages and towns which are unlikely to give way to anything approaching urban sprawl and crowded conurbations. Brittany’s roads are still empty and residents pay No Road Tax!! How refreshing!
