FINISTÈRE: Near Morlaix. Three bed house of 130 m² with workshop and 2,858 m² garden, 30 minutes from the coast.

This is a Breton house in a stunning setting and a rare position. It stands alone in open countryside, with long views and no near neighbours, yet Morlaix is ten minutes away by road, the north Finistère beaches are under half an hour, and Roscoff's ferry port is within easy reach. Very few properties at this level offer that combination in this part of Brittany.

Built in 1974 and arranged over two floors, the house offers 130 m² of living space across five principal rooms. The heart of it is a generous open living room and kitchen of around 41 m², warmed by a wood burning stove and flooded with light, with plenty of room for a long table and a sofa. Also on this floor are a bedroom with a small adjoining room, ideal as a study or dressing room, along with a WC and a utility room. Upstairs there are two further large bedrooms, a small room that works well as a nursery, an office or a dressing room, and a bathroom with WC.

The garden runs to 2,858 m², open and green, with space for a vegetable plot, a generous terrace, or even a swimming pool. The double garage has both water and electricity connected, which makes it a straightforward space to turn into a proper workshop or studio, and there is a functional garden cabin as well as the frame of a greenhouse waiting to be brought back into use.

The current owner has already begun the renovation, and a good deal of the groundwork is behind you. The layout is settled, the house is habitable, and what remains is the finishing rather than the rethinking. The outstanding items have been identified and costed, which means you can plan with real figures rather than guesswork and can take them on at your own pace and to your own taste. For anyone who wants a house to become their own rather than one somebody else has already decided upon, this is an opportunity.

Pleyber-Christ has shops, schools and everyday services a few minutes away. Morlaix, ten minutes by road, has supermarkets, a hospital and a direct TGV to Paris. The Monts d'Arrée are on your doorstep in one direction and the coast in the other. (6.50 % fees incl. VAT at the buyer's expense.)
