A private rutted track reserved for the property’s inhabitants leads up the house. It forms a closed loop. From this track, two entrances take you to the dwelling and its lush garden. At a lower level, there are two built sections that adjoin each other in an L shape around a small courtyard with a panoramic view of the estuary. They date back to the 19th century. At the back, there is a walled vegetable patch sheltered from the wind. A stone outhouse stands beside the L-shaped edifice, completing the series of buildings. Several farming plots also belong to the property.

The country house

The country house is made up of three adjoining buildings that form an L shape. The edifice was built in the 19th century in a rectangular layout with upper floors. A gabled slate roof crowns the dwelling. A stone lean-to with a roof of interlocking tiles adjoins one end. Three wall dormers with triangular pediments punctuate the elevations of granite rubble stone. Exposed dressed stone forms the door and window surrounds. Many skylights dot the roof, offering views of the estuary’s meanders on the south-west side. An arched doorway on the north-east side leads out to a landscaped garden with a wide range of flowers and plants.

The ground floor
You enter a spacious hallway, where there is a lavatory with a washbasin. Large, pale stone slabs adorn the floor and recall the traditional granite floors of Brittany. White walls contrast with exposed stone. On one side, a vast dining room combines tones of white, honey, pale oak and pastel lime from the floor to the ceiling. Exposed painted beams run across the ceiling and oak strip flooring extends across the room. The indoor shutters are also made of wood. One wall features a working fireplace. A glazed white door leads to a space that lies at a slightly lower level and to a multipurpose room. This multipurpose room houses a gas boiler and has many wall shelves. A timber staircase leads up to a small mezzanine. A door leads straight outside.

A kitchen lies on the other side of the entrance hallway. It is a fully fitted kitchen with many storage spaces. Cement and terracotta tiles adorn its floor. The kitchen leads to a lounge beyond it. This extensive lounge has tiled flooring and exposed beams across the ceiling. It is bathed in natural light from windows on both sides of the room. An Italian wood-burning stove stands in this room. An office and a lavatory lie straight beyond the lounge. A staircase climbs up to the first floor. Next, there is a large utility room. Exposed stonework forms its walls. Cherry-red wood strip flooring contrasts with large white cupboards. These tailor-made cupboards cover around half of the wall surface. A door leads straight outside via a small staircase.

A spacious room lies at a right angle to the house’s body. It needs to be converted. It is fitted with electrics and a water inlet. A door leads outside to the north-facing walled vegetable patch at the back. The room also leads to a 32m² summer kitchen that looks out at the garden. A small adjoining section houses a cellar and a little loft space that you reach via a wooden staircase.

The first floor
Two different staircases lead up to the first floor. One staircase leads up from the entrance hall. The other staircase is reached via the office just beyond the large lounge. The oldest staircase is wooden and has kept its charming authenticity. On this level, white dominates and contrasts with a floor of rush matting. The whole level is bright and offers beautiful views of the garden’s various areas. There are four bedrooms on this floor. Two of them have en-suite bathrooms. Another bathroom and a lavatory can be reached from the shared areas. The different types of flooring up here include tiling, wood strip flooring, and painted and polished concrete. At the top of the section protruding at a right angle from the house’s body, there is a space that could be converted. This space is extensive. It could increase the liveable floor area by around 100m².

The second floor
A landing connects to two small bedrooms and a bathroom. Up here, you can admire a view that stretches a long way: over the landscaped garden, the beautiful estuary and hedge-lined meadows. The bedrooms, which have wood strip flooring, are dual-aspect spaces flooded with natural light.
