This charming ‘Hansel and Gretel’ style stone cottage dates back to before the French revolution and once formed part of an adjoining thatched rectory. The cottage has been restored to retain many original features including beams and exposed stone walls. To the left of the fireplace is evidence in the wall of a stone spiral staircase that once led to the adjoining house which is now long gone. Although the owner has not requested planning permission there is on the deeds a marked out footprint area of a larger detached house that used to be in the garden and there is a good chance planning permission would be granted to build a dwelling again on that plot (to be confirmed). The gardens are approx 1,180 sq metres and extend to the front, side and rear. The property benefits from a new septic tank installation and new roof.

 

The accommodation comprises of a ground floor open plan kitchen/lounge/diner with stone fireplace and fitted wood burner, recessed window to the front and original arched doorway to the rear which is currently not used and has opaque glass.

 

The kitchen area has a range of fitted wall and base units, plumbing for a washing machine and tiled floor throughout. A staircase leads to the main double bedroom and there is a small single bedroom suitable for a child. Also on the first floor there is a newly fitted bathroom with bath and shower attachment over, pedestal basin and low level wc. The first floor has a solid wood floor, exposed A frames, two Velux windows to the main bedroom, one to the second bedroom and one in the bathroom.

 

To the front is a large gravel parking area and the garden is laid to grass with screening from the lane with conifers, outside lighting and barbecue decked area. Also in the garden is an old stone creche which was once used for calves and a garden shed.

 

This cottage is in a very peaceful and delightful area along a quiet rural lane, there are other dwellings in the small hamlet and the pretty village is within level walking distance (approx 20 mins). The town of Glomel is just 6k drive where there is a lake with hiking trails and the Nantes-Brest canal. Rostrenen market town approx 12k where there is a good range of supermarkets, restaurants and busy market every Tuesday.

 

This charming cottage will attract a lot of interest, it is ideal as a peaceful holiday retreat or has potential for another house to be built or the cottage could be extended to the side. Your earliest viewing is highly recommended.
