In the heart of the lovely town of Morlaix, a fully renovated property, contemporary style,
six bedrooms, five bathrooms, parking, terrace.
No Agents Fees. 450,000€
In
the heart of Morlaix an opportunity to purchase a large fully renovated property with parking, 5/6 bedrooms, five bathrooms
and terrace. If
you are looking for something to renovate, in the middle of nowhere, traditional style, with no facilities nearby, a big garden
or land for animals, then read no further as this is really not for you. But
if you are looking for a contemporary designed, professionally renovated property with character right in the heart of Morlaix
and just 50m from the Port, then read on.
Morlaix is located in North Finistere on the beautiful Bay of Morlaix and is just 25 minutes
drive from the Brittany Ferries and Irish Ferries Terminal in Roscoff. The Airport at Brest is less than 40 minutes drive
and the TGV is available at Morlaix station, only a ten minute walk. There are lovely beaches and a Golf course in Carantec
within 15 minutes drive. The Marina is just 50m from the property.Schools for all ages are available here as are all the facilities you would expect in a town, Cinema, Theatre,
Gym, Restaurants, bars, shops etc.
Many people like the idea of the country location but the reality for many turns out to be an
isolated existence with little contact with other people and facilities. The ideal property viewed in the summer sunshine
often turns out to be something quite different in the depths of winter. This property was thought originally to be a small warehouse for use by the ships in the nearby
port. It has a misleadingly small façade that hides a deep property on three floors, widening as it turns to the rear.
The renovation has been completed in a contemporary style and designed by an experienced interior Designer. The
designer has been careful to keep the character of the original building and managed to retain some large original oak timbers
and some exposed roof timbers. The present owners are relocating to a large city in France for business reasons and are reluctantly
selling this lovely property.
The property offers potential for a variety of uses. It’s location in Morlaix and proximity
to the Ferries at Roscoff lends itself well to its current use as Chambres d’hôtes/family home. Although not the
primary business of the owners, unlike many Chambres d’hôtes it offers all year round business
potential. For
those with a large family the space offers ample facilities. The ground floor has been designed to be able to be used as part
of the large family home or as a family suite for the Chambers d’hôtes, with internal access. But also the opportunity
to be used as business premises (subject to planning) or a separate apartment, as it also has independent access too. In all an unusual, very attractive property
offering the opportunity to do something a little different .
The
property is being offered for sale on the site directly by the owners so there are no Estate agents fees to pay, but as with
all properties in France the Notaires fees will need to be added to the agreed purchase price and paid by the purchasers.
These would be approximately 25,000€. The asking price for the property is 450,000€. Yes this is negotiable, but to avoid wasting
everyone’s time please note that the owners are in no urgency to sell, the property has been priced realistically and
only sensible offers need be made. If you are in a position to proceed with a purchase, have any questions or want to view the property

***************************************************************************The The property has been designed by a qualified interior
designer with the aim to not only look attractive but to be practical too. To facilitate greater individual control the heating
is provided by electric radiators and because this has been combined with a high degree of insulation throughout the property
provides efficient and easy heating for a sensible cost. All wooden window frames and fitted with double glazing.
All walls, floors and ceiling are insulated as are the internal walls, not only conserving energy but absorbing sound too.There are ample power points throughout the property, and
many lights to enable different moods to be created.
The entrance
to the property enables a car (or two small ones) to be parked here. Access is always available from the road so deliveries
or friends/clients calling always have a space available just outside. There is a post box, store for the wheelie bin and
tap/hose for car washing etc.The store
room is accessed from this entrance area by a fire door and enables the inevitable tins of paint/tools/boxes/bikes etc to
be stored here.
The main entrance door to the property, with video phone connected
to a colour screen on the first floor. The Entrance hall floor has slate tiles as have the entrance steps, landings, kitchen
and bathroom floors. The recessed niches with contemporary artwork set the modern bright style used throughout the property.
The metal open tread staircase leads to the first floor landing and it is here that the surprisingly large first floor area
can be seen. The ceiling at this point is double height to allow light into this area and create a spacious, open effect.
Opposite will be found the door to what is now used as guest room one.
This consists of an entrance/dressing area, with bathroom to the right. The bathroom is large, has a bath, suspended WC
with concealed cistern, (slow closing seat to avoid noise) two washbasins, mirrors, concealed glass fronted cupboard and wall
mounted heater. The bedroom is a good size and separated from the entrance area by double glazed doors. Two double glazed
windows open out onto rue Villeneuve and part of the port can be seen to the right. The property opposite has just been completely
renovated. Returning to the landing, the
utility room is found to the left. This has a worktop with stainless style sink, washing machine and tumble dryer below. A
large hot water tank is situated here. One of two hot water systems to ensure everyone has ample hot water. There are storage
shelves and also access to a useful under stairs storage area.
Back onto the landing gives access through twin double glazed doors to a small
dining area set just next to the kitchen. The kitchen units are English and give ample storage and practical work areas. The
fridges, dishwasher, microwave are all set behind doors. There is a ceramic hob with touch controls, a double oven and extractor.
(The extractor expels cooking odors to a roof mounted vent). There is a large double glazed window that looks into the large
living/dining area and also the rear of the property. This creates an open plan effect between the kitchen and living areas
but is infinitely more practical than the traditional open plan style. Kitchen noises and odours are restricted to the kitchen
and do not interfere with people/guests in the dining/living room.
Another
set of twin double glazed doors lead from the small dining area into the living/dining room. This is a large room (in excess
of 50m2). There are four large, solid pine posts below the two original oak beams and a light well. The TV is at present mounted
on a wall panel behind which there is access to shelves for DVDs, recorder, decoder etc. Double
glazed twin doors then lead out onto a small terrace, original stone steps then lead up to another slightly larger terrace
(with access from the main bedroom too). The lower terrace gets morning summer sun and the upper terrace in the afternoon.
The walls are all original stone and the vegetation established over many years has been left to create an interesting combination
of plants, ferns, ivy, wild flowers/strawberries etc
Returning inside and taking the
wide stairs to the half landing then the open tread metal stairs to the second floor landing. This spacious area gives access
to a further three bedrooms all with private facilities. A practical linen/storage cupboard is located here next to the second
guest bedroom. The shower room is found to the right when entering the bedroom, and consists of a shower, suspended WC, basin
and built in storage cupboard. The bedroom is a good size and has some original exposed timbers.
Back across the landing to another bedroom, exposed original timbers, and another
shower room. The second water heater
is located in a cupboard in this room. The
main bedroom is accessed from the landing to, a built in wardrobe is found on entering the room, and a corridor area opens
out onto a dressing area then into the main room. The shower room has the same style WC, basin, a large shower tray and two
built in storage cupboards.
Returning right down to the ground floor
entrance there is a fire door giving access to the ground floor suite. This can also be accessed independently from the entrance/garage
area.This suite offers potential for different
uses. It can be used as a family suite for use with the Chambres d’hôtes, just an extension of a large family
home for use as a games room, guest room, office etc. It has also been designed for it to be easily used as an independent
apartment for a family member or letting purposes. It could also be used as a work area subject to planning, for use by a
professional.
It consists of a large room, with three further rooms and a shower room with large shower tray,
WC, Basin, Storage cupboard as before. All
fully insulated and desugned as the rest of the property.
It is also worth noting that four systems of extraction have been fitted throughout the property. Standard
in French homes to extract moist air from bathrooms, kitchens etc. Four have been installed because of the exceptional size
of the property The present owners have found the property to be practical
and guests too have been very happy to stay.
The description along with the
photos hopefully enables you to better decide whether this could be the property for you. It’s big, centrally located
and ready to move into, and you can then apply your own personality and style at your leisure. The
owners will be happy to show you around the property but don’t really want to waste your time or theirs with people
who are not in a position to proceed with a purchase.
As the property is currently a Chambres d’hôtes
you have the unusual facilty of being able to stay in the property rather than just view as normal, and therefore give yourself
more time to see if it is really the one for you. Look at the website and see some of the comments made by guests
and also have a look at comments on Tripadvisor too. If you have any questions, want to book a room or make an
