Plestin-les-Grèves, Brittany 22310

A 19th-century manor with tree-filled grounds of nearly 3, 000 m, in the centre of a lively Breton village, 5 minutes from the ocean. The property is located on a street adjacent to the main road, a 6-minute bike ride from the ocean. Slightly set back from the street, the manor house elegantly stands out from its immediate environment. Safeguarded by a pedestrian semi-openwork wrought-iron double gate, flanked by two square pillars topped with capitals decorated with sculpted stone vases, this entrance is bordered on either side by a low enclosure wall topped by a wrought-iron fence with defensive spikes. In addition, a wider entrance in the form of a carriage door was created in the faade, which, protected by a gate, provides access to a short driveway that ends at a double garage on one side of the house. Behind the fence, several verdant shrubs and flowers grow: hydrangeas, lilacs as well as agapanthus, while hidden by this abundant vegetation is a small granite patio facing south off of the kitchen. Entirely enclosed by walls, the property also has a third entrance at the bottom of the street, via an alleyway that runs alongside one of the lateral pavilions, followed by a high protective stone wall and lastly an old arched door, which provides access to the back of the grounds.
