About this place
This historical 17th-century manor house features four bedrooms and presents an excellent opportunity for either a generous family residence or a bed and breakfast venture. The property includes an adjoining gite that is partially completed, needing some finishing touches.
As you step inside, the original oak staircase elegantly divides the East and West wings, spiralling up to the second floor. The spacious 240 m² accommodation is arranged over three floors. The ground floor boasts an entrance hall with a WC in the East wing, a dining room with a grand granite open fireplace and large oak beams, and a living room adorned with oak paneling and a wood burner. Large double doors in the living room lead to the rear garden, offering delightful views over the rolling countryside. The West wing includes a snug/reading room, a utility room, and a large kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, providing double doors to the south-facing front garden.
On the first floor, the East wing comprises a bedroom with a granite fireplace and solid oak flooring, a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, which has been completely renovated, along with two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom in the West wing. The second floor is home to two expansive loft spaces, ideal for conversion into additional living accommodation, with architectural drawings already in place for four bedrooms.
Outside, the property enjoys gardens to the front, side, and rear, featuring a variety of fruit trees, creating tranquil spaces perfect for relaxation or summer barbecues. Located near the Brittany/Normandy border, the charming village of St Ouen La Rouerie is just a five-minute walk away, with the bustling market town of Fougeres a mere 20 minutes drive. The renowned UNESCO World Heritage site of Mont Saint-Michel and the cosmopolitan city of Rennes, with its airport and TGV station, are within a 45-minute drive.
