Bécherel, Brittany, Address available on request

A late 17th century house renovated with quality and authenticity in undulating Breton countryside between Rennes and Saint-Malo. Set away from the main road, access to the property is via a lane that goes to other houses and then runs into the countryside, only used by farm machinery or walkers. The farmhouse is set in the centre of the property. In the southern part there is a gravelled courtyard and a garden planted with some shrubbery. To the north there is a garden planted with various tree species, including fruit trees. An old timber-framed, tin-covered shed backs onto the house's northern facade. Built towards the end of the 17th century, it is made up of a former farmhouse with 'combined functions', which once housed a stable and a dwelling. The exterior is built of granite rubble, and the window surrounds are made of cut stone. The slate roof has a straight hipped roof with eaves at the bottom. Roof windows let light into the attic space, providing views over the surrounding countryside where the neighbouring village is situated. Finally, a lean-to to the east, integrated into the house, serves as a boiler room. Its western counterpart is used as a garage and a shed. Both are built and roofed in the same way as the main dwelling.
