DESCRIPTION

Ref. 4913: 18th-century residence near Moncontour, 30 minutes from the coast.

Moncontour is a historic town in the heart of Brittany, equidistant from Saint-Brieuc, Lamballe and Loudéac. A true gem of Breton medieval heritage, it invites you to wander through its cobbled streets, admire its half-timbered houses and stroll along its imposing ramparts.

A former fortified town in the Penthièvre region, Moncontour also bears witness to the story of berlingue, a linen and hemp cloth that once brought it prosperity and was exported as far as India.

The only town in Côtes-d’Armor to hold both the Petite Cité de Caractère® and Les Plus Beaux Villages de France® labels, Moncontour captivates visitors with its rich heritage, authenticity and well-preserved history.

Situated in a village near Moncontour, the property is within easy reach of the main shops and everyday services. A bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, medical practice, post office, garage and cinema are all close by, making this a practical and pleasant place to live.

Overlooking the town, the property enjoys a privileged position and remarkable views. At its heart is an elegant, early 18th-century residence, built of stone and topped with a slate roof with flared eaves. Its architecture is reminiscent of the malouinières. The house is arranged harmoniously over three floors.

The ground floor, dedicated to reception rooms, opens onto a spacious entrance hall, served by a magnificent solid oak staircase, and a WC. It comprises a fully fitted and equipped kitchen of 41 m², with a pleasant area for breakfast and Sunday brunch; a dining room of 20 m²; a spacious 50 m² drawing room with 3.46-metre-high ceilings, enhanced by mouldings and a remarkable, fully functioning marble fireplace; and a 20 m² study with an elegant bespoke bookcase.

The first-floor landing, reached via the entrance hall staircase, leads to five bedrooms ranging from 15 m² to 28 m², with 3.15-metre-high ceilings, two shower rooms, two bathrooms, a WC and access to the attic.

The basement houses the utility and service areas, including a room with a fitted kitchen of 20 m², a laundry room, boiler room, large 27 m² wine cellar and workshop with external access.
