10mins South of Lamballe - 4 Bedroomed longere 2,354m2 garden
This delightful longère is practically perfect in every way. It's spacious interior is the product of a very superior renovation and you wouldn't need to change a single thing to live very comfortably. With 4 bedrooms and a large garden it would make a delightful family home, yet despite its size, it would still be a cosy home for 2 with plenty of space for visitors.

The gated courtyard approach is lovely and the renovated and functional bread oven is a charming feature. Inside the door and in the entrance hall the fully equipped kitchen/diner is opposite through a pair of saloon style doors. The fitted kitchen will be staying and it's all in good condition. Further on down the hallway there is a utility room with a door to the large back garden, a shower room with WC and sink and a very spacious lounge. The lounge is very comfortable with a stone fireplace, a beamed ceiling and some nicely pointed exposed stone walls. Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom and a further room which can be used as an office or a small spare bedroom.

Up the solid wooden staircase to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms, an enormous bathroom, a separate WC and a dressing room.
There is an attached garage with an attic above and a further separate garage. The spacious garden is well maintained with fruit trees, an established vegetable patch and the ultimate French lifestyle accessory - a boules court.
The local area is beautiful and less than half an hour from the Emerald Coast with its clean sandy beaches and safe swimming. Lamballe is the nearest town and has a weekly market, plenty of shops, bars and restaurants amongst its half timbered buildings. It's also famous as the home of Brittany's working horse breeding and training centre. When you visit I can show you round and tell you about all of the other great things to do in the area.
There are plenty of really good schools and sports clubs and the area has a strong agricultural base which is really thriving.

Access is so easy, whether it's for you or your guests. Just 40 minutes 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 is also a TGV service to Rennes which is an hour away.
