French property in Cotes d Armor - Detached stone farmhouse for renovation set in a small hamlet in the beautiful Cote d'Armor countryside.

A real chance to create a good sized family home in the lovely Breton countryside.
This house comprises: On the groundfloor - Entrance hall with doors leading off to the good sized kitchen/dining area, the large lounge and the toilet. A wooden staircase leads up to the 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom. As you will see from the photos, there is quite a bit of work to do here, but the basics are there and it would just need some imagination to turn this house around. Attached to one side of the house is the old stable - great for storage! And on the other side is a small old house which has an original connecting doorway into the main property and a large feature fireplace, giving perhaps the opportunity to extend the living area further. This part is completely untouched and has a small amount of remedial work needed to the stonework.
The house sits in the middle of the land which is just over half an acre and has a large hangar and old tin store off to one side giving a good degree of privacy.
The local villages, with shops, banks and schools, are just a few minutes drive away and the transport links of Roscoff ferryport and Brest airport are within easy reach.
The excellent TGV service can be reached at either Morlaix or Guinamp.
