The property is located in Dinan, sub-prefecture of the eastern Côtes-d'Armor department. The historic centre is close by and the area is sought-after for its tranquillity. The commune is part of the Vallée de la Rance - Côte d'émeraude Regional Nature Park. The SNCF train station is just a few minutes' walk away, as is the famous Place Duclos and its café terraces. Saint-Malo is a 30-minute drive away. The TGV there takes you to Paris in 2 hours 15 minutes. Rennes and its international airport are 45 minutes away.
Description
The house
The ground floor
Slightly raised, it is accessed via a few steps and then a porch. A hall leads to the entrance through a small-paned double door. The entrance hall, with its high ceilings and tiled floor, leads off to the entire floor and includes ample storage space. There is a heavy wooden staircase in the centre that leads to the two floors. There is a large living/dining room to one side. With high ceilings, it is lit by tall windows opening onto the garden and the inner courtyard. The floor is paved in light-coloured tiles and there is an ashlar fireplace set against one of the walls. Opposite this reception room there is a vast bedroom with a sea rush floor and an en suite bathroom. This is followed by a kitchen opening onto a terrace overlooking the garden.
The first floor
Reached via the wooden staircase, lit by a high window, the landing leads to a bathroom with a toilet, three large bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a study. Two bedrooms and the bathroom face south, one bedroom faces north over the garden and the study faces east. The entire floor has old wood parquet flooring and high ceilings. The rooms are lit by large windows.
The second floor
The staircase leads to a small landing, then a hallway leads to three large rooms in need of finishing touches. One of the bedrooms, with arched windows, faces north over the garden. Another south-facing room, under the roof, is lit by a high dormer window and a skylight. The floors are original wooden parquet flooring. A small attic can be accessed via a trapdoor.
The basement
This can be accessed either by a staircase from the inside or through a door on the west side of the house. It comprises a vast space with a boiler room and three cellars, all on a dirt floor.
The garage
Attached to the house and accessible from the courtyard to the south or from the garden, it is built, like the house, of granite rubble with a brick-framed window. It can house one or two cars.
The garden
Accessible from the house or the courtyard, it is mainly located to the north of the house. Planted with tall, evergreen shrubs such as laurel, camellia, cypress and thuja, as well as a number of fruit trees, it provides a welcome barrier of vegetation from the city.
Our opinion
An elegant town house close to Dinan's historic and medieval centre. Sheltered by its large, wooded, enclosed garden, the property is bright and peaceful both inside and out. The size of the rooms is remarkable and easy to change as you wish. After the necessary renovation and refurbishment work, this sleeping beauty will be ready to welcome a family looking for space or a holiday home, just a stone's throw from the Emerald Coast and Saint-Malo’s ramparts. Paris is only 2 hours away by train.
