Ploeuc-sur-Lié, Cotes-d'Armor, Brittany
€290,000  |   Ref: 9868A

A beautifully renovated 4-bed Breton cottage 25mins from the coast with verdant 2 acre gardens and an independent one-bed apartment. The kitchen is very much the heart of the home, with plenty of room for cooking, tasting, experimenting eating and gathering.  Supplies for culinary adventures can be found 3km away in Plouec, a lovely little town with a good range of amenities.

The house has been renovated to a high standard while retaining its original character and proportions. Although semi-detached, the neighbouring house is a French family’s holiday home, used for only a few weeks each year, and the house has a real sense of privacy.  Yet, it is an easy bike ride or stroll down into town where there is a good range of independent shops, cafes & restaurants as well as a supermarket.  Market day in the main square is on Thursdays.

There is a total 161m2 habitable space.  Here’s the layout:

Main house

Four bedrooms

Large sitting room

Large kitchen

Two bathrooms, each with a large separate shower

Utility room

WC

The house can accommodate up to 10 people, making it well suited to family gatherings and visiting friends as well as everyday living.

Independent apartment

Open-plan kitchen and sitting room

Shower room

Bedroom

The attached apartment has been professionally renovated.  It is compact but self-contained, making it useful for guests, older children, visiting family or independent holiday accommodation.

Outside

The property has just over 9,000m² of grounds, predominantly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs, a gravel drive and an area designed as an English-style cottage garden.

There are two garages and plenty of space for parking.

Despite the house being semi-detached, the grounds are particularly private. The adjoining property is a smaller house owned by a French family who use it as a holiday home and currently visit only for a few weeks each year. This arrangement has been in place for at least 15 years.

The combination of extensive grounds and the independent apartment gives the property considerable flexibility. It could work as a family home with guest accommodation, provide space for multi-generational living or offer the possibility of running a small holiday rental or B&B.

Location

The property is around 3km from the small but lively town of Ploeuc-sur-Lié. Ploeuc has a useful range of everyday facilities including a supermarket and small shops, several bakeries, restaurants, a crêperie, pharmacy, schools and sports facilities.

Moncontour is around 10km away and is a good place to head for a coffee, lunch or a wander around the medieval streets. The town has cafés, restaurants, independent shops, a pharmacy, bakery and other everyday services, as well as its historic ramparts and distinctive granite and half-timbered buildings.

There are plenty of walking trails in the area including paths around the nearby leisure lakes and the woods of the Lié Valley are lovely to explore for longer hikes.  There are various events organised throughout the year for communal walks and rambles for the local community.

The north coast is around 25 mins away, ideal for day trips & seafood restaurant treats.  Saint Brieuc is 25 mins away and the ferry port at Saint Malo is around a 1hr 15 min drive
