This house is a rare find and an extremely attractive and unique property. Built in the 1500s it is part of cloister, located in a picturesque village in Brittany near Vitré. It has a view of the village square and church at the front and a view of the countryside behind. It has been renovated by the present and previous owners who have preserved many of the features of the sixteenth century such as stone walls, beams and tiling whilst installing modern comforts.
The house is entered from the village square at the front directly into the main living room (approx. 37m2). This room has an open stone fire place and traditional beams and tiling. There is a plaster statue of St John embedded in the stone over the top of the fireplace. It is equipped with a boiler which uses wood pellets and heats the ground floor.
Behind the living room to the left is the fully fitted and modern kitchen (approx. 25m). To the right is cellar/store room (approx. 18m2) which can be accessed directly from the living room or through the utility area which houses the downstairs toilet and stair well.
The 1st floor is accessed via a spiral stair case. Half way up the stair case to the left is a bedroom/office (approx. 8m2). On the landing are three bedrooms. There is one above the living room with a large stone chimney (35m2), and another (approx. 25m2), also with a large stone chimney. Going along the landing at the top of the stairs there is the shower room (approx. 7m2) and another bedroom at the end (approx. 11m2).
At the top of the house is a large split level attic which could easily house another few rooms.
A small garden is sold with this house over the other side of the lane that runs behind the house. It is surrounded on two sides by a field.
This house still needs some finishing touches but it already has the essentials installed for ensuring day to day comfort and housing a family. It has great potential for expansion and is in good condition. All the downstairs windows are equipped with shutters inside and all the windows are double glazed. This property uses electric heaters upstairs and is connected to mains drainage.
