Description
Nestled in the heart of Brittany, the picturesque town of Malestroit beckons those seeking a quintessential French lifestyle. Known for its rich history, charming architecture, and tranquil surroundings, Malestroit offers a delightful blend of old-world appeal and modern-day conveniences—a mix that appeals to expatriates and overseas buyers looking for a unique piece of France to call their own. It's here in the Morbihan department, along the banks of the serene River Oust, where we find this delightfully comfortable two-bedroom cottage, a perfect example of traditional Breton living.
Built around two decades ago, this cottage has been a treasured holiday home, offering many a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With a size of 70 square meters, the house was built to withstand the test of time. Now, as any well-loved home eventually does, it requires a bit of updating to regain its original splendor. This provides an excellent opportunity for new homeowners to inject their personal touch while appreciating the strong foundation already in place.
As you step through the front door, you're met with a cozy ground floor layout. The open-plan space invites you to linger, from a spacious bedroom—ideal for guests or as a retreat for yourself—to the bathroom cum utility room that ensures functionality without compromising on style. A highlight of this floor is the kitchen area, dominated by a magnificent wood-burning stove, which serves as the main heating source. The stove not only warms the house but also infuses it with that rustic feel that makes living here both peaceful and practical.
Next to the kitchen is the lounge and dining area, a space where form meets function. The layout fosters easy conversation, perfect for family gatherings or intimate dinners with friends. Natural light pours through the windows, reflecting off the gentle textures of hardwood and soft furnishings, creating an atmosphere that's as inviting as it is relaxing.
The first floor reveals another bedroom equipped with fitted cupboards cleverly using the space within the eaves. It's a haven tucked away from the rest of the house, complete with a small WC and a dressing room. This bedroom has an exterior door, which opens onto a wooden decking area—though, take note, the decking is due for a replacement. It's a small repair job that promises a big reward: a charming outdoor space for morning coffee or evening wine, with the whisper of the nearby river as your soundtrack.
