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 please e-mail:  htmneuf.fr

***************************************************************************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.
