Description
This 17th-century granite house for sale in Josselin, Morbihan, has 420 m² of living space and nine bedrooms, including five former guesthouse suites.
The house stands about ten minutes from Josselin, with its riverside castle and half-timbered lanes, and roughly 30 km from Vannes. It was built for a local notable, and the stonework shows it: granite rubble walls, carved stone details, heavy wooden beams and big open fireplaces. Over the years it has also run as a guesthouse. That history gives you a layout with real flexibility, whether you want one very large family home or a house with separate guest quarters.
The House and Its 1,203 m² Garden
The main building is split into two distinct parts. The ground-floor wing is laid out as five suites, three of them duplexes, each with its own entrance. Guests or extended family can come and go without crossing the main living areas. A separate reception room has a large stone fireplace, handy for a long table at Christmas or a breakfast room if you ever return to hosting.
The upper, manor-style part of the house is where you would live day to day. It has a very large eat-in kitchen, fitted and equipped, with a pantry and a laundry area. Next to it is a spacious living room with a big fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. In a Breton winter, that is where everyone ends up.
An old turret has been converted into a patio overlooking the garden. It is the spot for morning coffee while the mist lifts off the lawn. The plot is 1,203 m², which is enough for a terrace, a vegetable bed and space for children, but still easy to look after.
Living Near Josselin, Morbihan
Josselin is one of inland Brittany's best-known small towns. The château rises directly above the Oust river and the Nantes-Brest canal, which is popular with walkers, cyclists and boaters. The town has shops, cafés, a market and everyday services, and it is only a short drive from the house. Ploërmel is also within easy reach for larger supermarkets and other practical needs.
This is a rural, quiet part of Morbihan. Expect granite hamlets, lanes between hedgerows and a mild, changeable Atlantic climate, with green countryside and regular rain. The Gulf of Morbihan, with its islands and sailing, is a drive to the south, and the legendary forests of Merlin and Brocéliande are within day-trip range.
Getting There: Airports and Drive Times
Vannes, about 30 km away, is the nearest big town. It has a medieval old town, a harbour and a TGV station. Rennes airport is roughly an hour and a quarter by road, and Nantes and Brittany's other airports are also reachable for international arrivals. Most buyers coming from the UK, Ireland or northern Europe find that the drive from Rennes is straightforward on main roads.
A Large Second Home or Guesthouse in Brittany
A house this size can work as a second home in France for a big family, shared between relatives or friends. The five suites with separate entrances also suit bed-and-breakfast or gîte-style use, as the house has been a guesthouse before. Any rental business in France has its own rules on registration, taxation and local planning, so check the details with a local adviser before you commit to a plan.
The condition is listed as good. As with any 17th-century stone house, a viewing should include a close look at the roof, beams, heating and insulation, and bathroom provision. Large old houses use a lot of firewood or fuel in the colder months, and you should budget for that.
