Property Description
With 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, good living space, a double garage and a really generous plot this house is incredibly well-priced. It offers a host of options: despite its size it could be a lock up and leave holiday home as the gardens have been designed to be low maintenance; it could be a fabulous family home with schools and other facilities very nearby; or perhaps most ideally a bed & breakfast with one of the bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor, you could live completely separately from your guests. Alternatively, it could be a great investment, you will find it easy to rent out and French property is predicted to rise in value over the coming years. A large, attractive, well laid out house in great condition located within easy access of the coast and France's second largest attraction within France, Le Mont Saint Michel. Classified by UNESCO and second only to the Eiffel Tower, Le Mont Saint Michel has been a world heritage site since 1979. Located close to the border of Normandy and Brittany the list of things to do in the area is vast and the ways of getting there numerous. Within driving distance of the ports of Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo, Roscoff and even accessible from Boulogne and Calais. Within easy distance of airports at Rennes, Dinard, St Brieuc, Brest and Nantes. There is also a TGV service to St Malo which is a big attraction for French guests. Locally there is an equestrian centre, no fewer than 6 golf courses and plenty of sailing. The village has a primary school, general store, boulangerie and bar and nearby Dol de Bretagne is well serviced with secondary school, pool, doctors, vets, many shops, restaurants, etc.
Location in France
Brittany's historic capital, 2,000 year-old Rennes, which lies at the confluence of the Ille et Vilaine rivers, is one of the departments four "Art Towns", the others being Fougères, Saint-Malo and Vitré. Rennes has a population of around 220,000 inhabitants and attracts a large mobile population, mainly because of the university and many business that have established in the area.
Whilst the department is the most densely-populated in Brittany, by contrast it has the youngest population, averaging under 37 years of age. Other towns and places of interest include Redon, at the confluence of Brittany's two largest rivers, the Oust and the Vilaine, and Dinard, one of Europe's finest seaside resorts. The coastal towns of Saint Malo and Dinard and the areas inland of the coast are very popular with homebuyers because of the attractive coastline, generally mild climate, great infrastructure and ease of access back to the UK and Northern Europe. From Rennes airport one can fly direct to Exeter, Southampton, Manchester, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin, and Dinard airport, although smaller, offers flights to Guernsey and London. St Malo port offers cross channel ferry access to Poole, Portsmouth, Weymouth, Jersey and Guernsey.
It is a department rich in historic and religious monuments, remarkable medieval cities and natural history with numerous museums and theatres. Its' proximity to the coast attracts a large number of tourists to the area, which is good news for those looking to set up a tourist-related business such as chambre d'hôtes or gîtes.
