Property Description

This group of buildings requiring renovation,is set in a peaceful rural location, but only a ten minute drive to the lovely town of Rostrenen with its banks, restaraunts and shops, and approximately a ten minute drive from Glomel, with its beautiful lake, beaches and water sports. Five minutes along the D740 is the lovely Nantes/Brest canal.

The main building is an ancient 20m longere. This is divided into two, with each half having a large fire place and chimney. Renovation has started to the roof, with all the roof timbers having been replaced, but the slates are required to complete the work and make it weather tight. Structural work to the walls etc will be required during renovations to allow for new doors/windows etc to be formed as per approvals.

A new dedicated access path has been formed leading to the front of the longere from the small country lane that runs adjacent. This was completed when I had land drainage installed and the land levelled. Within the longere there is a rough concrete floor with stone animal feeders along the wall. These are easily removed.

Plans have been completed, submitted and approved to convert the longere into two 2 bedroom properties. Open plan living room and kitchen to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The fosse septic approval has also been completed though not installed. All of these approvals will be forwarded to the purchaser upon completion. I am unsure of the time frame for completing building work once approval is gained, however the re-application if required will be a reasonably cheap affair as the costliest part were the plans themselves.

A small cottage is situated behind and to the right of the longere. This is also in need of renovation including a new roof (the original recently gave way). However the thick stone walls are in good repair. This will easily convert into a one/two bedroom gite.

Attached to the cottage is a double storey stone/brick barn. This has a dirt floor, and has a multitude of options available regarding its use.

There is a fresh water well on site (adjacent to the cottage).

The surrounding land of just under an acre was leveled and cleared during the initial renovation works, but has since regrown with assorted vegetation. There are oak and hazel trees on the land. The rear of the property overlooks open farm land.

I had a mobile home delivered to the property appoximately 2 years ago. This was to allow us to live on the land whilst we renovated. Photos of the interior of the mobile home will be forwarded on request, as will answers to any questions that are asked of me.

The reason for selling is my recent divorce. If this wasn't the case I would have happily kept hold of this property and undertaken the renovation myself.

The price has recently been reduced from 73K to 68K and now to 60K all sensible offers will be considered. This property will be removed from sale if not sold in its present state. I will undertake my own renovations and re-submit for sale.

This is a renovation project, and not a redecoration project, as some potential purchasers have expected. If you can't see past the vegetation, then you won't have the vision for the possibilities of this lovely trio of buildings, which are perfect for anyone considering a gite business, or just converting the longere into one large property for long holidays in the unspoilt countryside. The land is clearly bordered on three sides, however the fencing is required to be installed between the side adjoining the closest neighbour. Completion of this will offer much greater seclusion than exists at present. 

The neighbour is currently grazing a donkey on my land, in an attempt to keep the vegetation down, so don't be too suprised when you turn up. He has my permission.

Please note, that I will not agree to sell to anyone who has not visited the property in person. This is to safeguard the buyer, and myself from wasted time and effort and any associated costs.
