Dinan, Brittany 22100

A 19th century sailor's house with 1 300 m of garden near the banks of the Rance river in the Ctes-d'Armor. Just a stone's throw from the center of the village, the house stands next to a row of straight granite stone houses. Low stone walls topped with metal railings and shrub hedges preserve the property's privacy, both in the inner courtyard to the south and in the vast garden to the north. A double gate and a foot gate next to it, framed by brick pillars and topped by an imposing wisteria, form a grand entrance to the inner courtyard. Built in the mid-19th century to local architectural standards, the house is a tall rubble stone structure. The south facade also features a wisteria. The window frames are in cut granite stone, as are those of the attic dormers. The outbuilding, set at right-angles to the main house, was built at the end of the 19th century.
