DINAN, Brittany, Address available on request

A 19th-century riverside residence in a small picturesque town 20 minutes from Dinan. The house stands on the main street crossing the town from east to west and is bordered by the Arguenon river to the north. It is surrounded by other dwellings, small apartment blocks and local shops. There is a recently built garage butting onto the house. Further on, a gate provides access to the property's garden from the street. 
The three-storey house with basement is built of shale stone with vertical stringcourses. The windows have granite surrounds. The linear architectural works consist of three parts, with impressive chimney stacks, conveying traits of a manor house or mansion. The residence once housed a notary's office and a doctor's surgery. The facade has three windows on the ground floor and three more on the upper level. The roof drain, set into a wooden cornice, emphasises the horizontal appearance of the attic. 
Together with two small roof windows, a central roof dormer with a zinc top and clad in slate provides light in the roofspace. The hip roof is clad with slates and has metal ridge finials. Two impressive tall chimney stacks and their cross-shaped tie bars are located on either side of the building.
