This splendid 18th-century chteau on the seafront has a unique history: the construction of its second wing was interrupted by the Revolution, giving the building its distinctive appearance. The right-hand bay contains a magnificent granite spiral staircase, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.The interior has been entirely renovated with respect for its authenticity, combining period charm with modern comforts. Beautiful old fireplaces, exposed beams, generous ceiling heights and large north- and south-facing windows offering exceptional light and uninterrupted sea views from most rooms are just some of the features. An outside staircase on the west side leads to a pleasant wooden terrace on the ground floor and a balcony upstairs ideal for soaking up the afternoon sun and enjoying uninterrupted views of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc and the entire Golo coast.The chteau boasts an efficient geothermal heating system. All work has been carried out to the highest standards using quality materials, with great respect for the building's architectural heritage.The attic, which requires insulation and renovation, boasts four bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a magnificent original roof frame, offering great potential.Where the unbuilt wing was planned, there is now a charming, fully renovated caretaker's cottage with two bedrooms and a sophisticated bathroom with a bath and shower.There is also an outbuilding comprising the former stables and an adjoining cottage, which would be ideal for teenagers or guests. It has a living room, kitchen, shower room and an upstairs dormitory.The estate covers just over two hectares and is partly enclosed by walls, offering peace and privacy.This rare property would be ideal as a main or second home, or for use as a gte or B&B. It is a particular favourite with lovers of heritage, history and authenticity.
