The property lies between the town’s port and historical centre. It lies on one of the oldest, most emblematic streets of Tréguier. Indeed, this street was mentioned as early as in the 14th century. In climbs gently upwards, with a cobbled pavement on each side. It used to be an important shopping street in the town. The street is lined with stone houses and timber-framed dwellings. Several of these buildings are former shipowners’ homes, with their watchtowers and terraced gardens. The property’s main building is L-shaped. It is crowned with a hipped slate roof that gently flares out at the bottom. The facade is made of rubble granite and exposed ashlar. The windows are neatly spaced out. With authentic charm, this facade includes a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. There are nine windows, fitted with louvred shutters and black wrought-iron guardrails. A wall lantern protrudes from the edge of the facade. The main entrance stands out for its basket-handle arch above a monumental carriage gate: a wooden double door painted greyish blue. This entrance gate leads into an enclosed paved court. Straight ahead, an extension dating back to the 19th century is crowned with a single-slope slate roof. On one side, this extension has two windows and a wooden door beneath a glazed fanlight. On the left, there is a white wooden gate. This rustic-style gate is made up of vertical bars. It leads into a covered entrance area – a dual-aspect space beneath a loft. This covered entrance area takes you from the street straight to the garden behind the house. On this side, the rear elevation is punctuated with many windows, some of which are fitted with wooden shutters painted white. This elevation faces the garden with its well and outbuildings. Several trees dot this garden, including a large thuja and a majestic cedar. The garden is almost entirely enclosed with walls. It leads straight to the River Jaudy estuary and the boats moored in the marina. A former watchtower stands at the far end of the garden.

The house

The ground floor
The hallway is authentic and plain. The walls here are lime-coated. The floor is covered with old cement tiles with a geometric motif. This motif alternates between solid burgundy squares and a blue floral design on a cream background. Beside this hallway there is a lounge with wood strip flooring and a wooden Louis XVI fireplace with a trumeau panel that stretches up to the ceiling. This lounge leads out to the garden, behind the house, through a large glazed door. A small corridor leads from the hallway to a dining room, a kitchen, a shower room, a lavatory and a secondary hallway. Thick beams and joists of solid wood run across the kitchen ceiling. Granite slabs cover the kitchen floor. Some walls are made of exposed stonework and others are lime-coated. The kitchen also features a monumental stone fireplace. The dining room is remarkably spacious. Its windows look out at the street. It has wooden panelling and a granite fireplace. You enter the shower room via the door of a large furniture unit made of old timber. Nearby, a big trapdoor in the floor hides the start of a granite spiral staircase that leads down to the cellar. And a half-glazed door leads out to a small court with a former washhouse.

The first floor
The 19th-century extension has a single room on the first floor. You reach it via the wooden staircase in the hallway. This first-floor room is a dual-aspect space. Its walls are coloured and its wood strip flooring is authentic. Back down on the ground floor, but on the other side, above the cellar, a monumental 17th-century wooden staircase leads up to a landing that connects to three bedrooms and a bathroom with a lavatory. Wooden panelling gives this part real character. There is a green bedroom and a pink bedroom that are both spacious. You can see some cob filler beneath the old wallpaper still here. Each bedroom has a fireplace, one of which is made of granite. The wooden doors are either solid or half-glazed. Part of the wooden floor is Versailles parquet. One bedroom has a kept a little cabinet of curiosities.

The second floor
The second floor has three bedrooms. One of them has kept its noble character. It has a bed alcove, a walk-in wardrobe and a fireplace. The single-glazed windows are fitted with indoor wooden shutters. Thick exposed beams run across the ceiling. The wooden flooring dates back to the time of construction. The old wallpaper has either a floral motif or a uniform tone.

The attic
Up here, the ceiling height up to the roof ridge is remarkably elevated. Indeed, even from the stairwell that leads up to it, you can admire a spectacular view of the estuary, the port and the surrounding countryside. The floor up here is covered with old terracotta tiles. You can see the historical roof frame, which is well built. This roof space is extensive and filled with natural light.
