An architect-designed house with mill and outbuildings, set in an estate of almost 17 hectares near Morlaix.
The estate nestles in the countryside of northern Finistère in Brittany. The town of Morlaix is within a 20-minute drive. The coast and beaches of Locquirec and Carantec are 45 minutes away, and the nearest village with its local shops 4 km.
National and international travellers can use the TGV from Morlaix station connecting to Paris in 3 hours. Brest and its international airport are reached in around 45 minutes. Finally, Roscoff port and its ferry links to England are just 40 minutes away.
Hidden from prying eyes and away from the main roads, the property enjoys the peace and quiet of the countryside while being close to all the main amenities. A road leads to the entrance of the estate, which opens onto a driveway bordered by three houses: the bakehouse, the mill and, further on, the main house. The three two-storey houses have roofs clad with local slate, and their schist and granite facades feature rectangular windows.
On one side, an orchard gently rises towards a hangar, accessed by a driveway. This overlooks a small lake below. The estate then stretches along the undulating hillside, following both banks of the river.
The dwellingReplacing the old farmhouse and reflecting the style of traditional Finistère houses, this residence was built using quality materials 25 years ago. Some facades are of schist, with dressed stone window surrounds. Others are rendered, lending a more modern appearance to the building. The multi-pitched roof matches the shape of the house. The various skylights let natural light pour into the various rooms on the first floor.
The building comprises two interconnected parts: the dwelling and the swimming pool wing. The first is made up of several projections containing the various living rooms. The second, built on one level under a gable roof, houses the indoor swimming pool. A lawned terrace surrounds the outdoor area, created on the roof of an outbuilding and accessed from the outside.
The house is accessed via a set of stairs leading up to the front door. Columns and granite flagstones mark the borders of a covered outdoor area. Running alongside the house, a rubble masonry staircase leads to an upstairs room. A door opens onto the laundry and boiler room. At the rear, under the dining room terrace, there is cellar with an earthen floor.
The complex blends in well with the surrounding countryside, is in perfect condition and purchasers can move in immediately.
The ground floor
The door opens onto a vast, open-plan reception room. The materials are pure and of light tones. Underfloor heating has been installed. This space connects to the main living areas. Each of these is skilfully separated from the others by a series of steps that harmoniously define the different volumes. The entrance hall leads to a sitting room, a study area and, on one side, a dining room, with access to a storage area and a lavatory. The sitting room on the other side is arranged around a central insert fireplace. Two steps and small columns form the dividing line between this room and the dining room. A staircase leads upstairs, and a door provides access to the swimming pool wing. A few steps lead down to the study, where a door opens onto the ground floor sleeping area: a bedroom with level access to a terrace, a closet and a bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. A door from the shower cubicle provides direct access to the large space housing the covered swimming pool. The cleverly positioned kitchen is completely open onto the dining room, which can only be seen from here. This room also provides access to a terrace offering views over the garden. Finally, a door from this same room opens onto a large space containing the utility and boiler rooms, with independent ...
