The beautiful region of South Brittany in the department of Morbihan, is well known for its warm summers, balmy climate and mild winters. The house is south facing. Keridan house is accessed via a quiet country lane, but with easy access to Baud, Pontivy, Lorient and Vannes. Lovely sandy beaches and the Golfe de Morbihan are just 30 minutes away. The principal house has three storeys and is centrally heated. The ground floor is a large kitchen, dining room and lounge in traditional French farmhouse style with an imposing Breton fireplace. The two upper floors provide a roomy lounge overlooking the garden and three double bedrooms. There is a bathroom with WC on each floor. The cottages are on either side and one of them has successfully provided income as holiday accommodation for many years. The other is ready for further development according to the new owner s needs. There are two large outbuildings for garaging, workshop and for storing mowers, tools, wine and firewood. The completely private, 7.5 metre swimming pool is fenced and decked round three sides and the fourth is a tiled, south facing terrace to trap the sun. There are around two acres of grounds and gardens with pond, lawns and parkland bordered by a stream.

6 Main house, ground floor A large part of the ground floor is the fully fitted kitchen which has solid oak doors, extensive wooden worktops, a Belfast style twin sink, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The gas hob has five rings and is very easy to clean. The electric oven has a built in cleaning facility. All the work surfaces are well lit from underneath the overhead cupboards. Double French doors open from the kitchen to a large tiled patio. The dining and lounge area is very spacious having room for a long dining table, a three piece suite, bookcases, television etc. Triple French doors open to the patio. The house is centrally heated and very well insulated throughout. In addition a large and efficient wood burning stove, raised above ground level for maximum effect, stands proudly in the stunning, original, Breton fireplace. A magnificent, oak staircase which was designed and constructed by a local craftsman, sweeps and curves its way up to the first and second floors. The new oak beams of the ground floor retain their original colour, matching the staircase and keeping the room light and airy. Beside the entrance door is a lobby with a large tiled shower room with heated towel rail, WC and washbasin. Beyond that, suitably distanced from the living area, is a utility room for the washing machine, tumble dryer and the central heating boiler. Main house, first and second storeys The first flight of stairs opens to a lounge which has windows on both sides providing excellent views over the garden as it benefits from its raised position. The original opening from this room, which used to be the granary, now has a double French door onto a balcony looking down on the garden and the patio. This room retains five of the original oak beams and provides a charming, intriguing link to the bedroom which has a fully tiled en suite with a bath, WC and washbasin with marble vanity unit. The staircase sweeps up to the landing of the third storey where there are two spacious bedrooms and a tiled bathroom with a hydro-massage shower, WC and washbasin. The vaulted ceilings have original exposed cross beams and wood pinned chestnut A-frames. Six large Velux windows ensure that the whole top floor is extremely light and airy with excellent views over the gardens and the surrounding countryside. The Cottages On the right of the main house is the two bedroom cottage called La Chouette. It will/can provide a solid income as it has been let very successfully as holiday accommodation for many weeks throughout the years, mainly for couples who wish to share the peace and tranquillity of the location and the benefits of life in Brittany. The Visitors Book shows many returning guests. In the other cottage, the difficult, heavy and expensive renovation work has been done and it now has mountains of potential for an enthusiastic new owner. Further specific information about the standards, structure and situation The roof was totally replaced by an exceptional local craftsman using new slates and timbers whilst retaining the characteristic chestnut A frames. The walls and roof are well insulated using a range of modern materials including both fibreglass and multi layered reflective insulation. All the windows are double glazed to the latest standards. The houses are warm in the winter and cool in summer. Original features have been retained throughout the renovation and oak has been used to maintain the appearance of the rooms. All doors and windows of the main house are oak. The ground floors have been ceramic tiled by a local craftsman using traditional French methods. The upper wooden floors are constructed of strong 28mm thick tongue and groove flooring which is sanded and stained to enhance its appearance. The septic tank installation was supervised by the local authorities. It conforms to all the latest regulations, has fully passed all recent inspections and it functions very efficiently. All rooms of the main house have telephone and television points and numerous electric sockets. The front of the house has a small terrace which enjoys sunshine throughout the year and benefits from warmth and extra light from the south facing aspect. There are neighbours to both sides but the house is not overlooked and all windows have open aspect to land belonging with the house and/or open countryside. Opposite the house are two large outbuildings and a wood store all in good condition. The wooded parkland facing the house provides the majority of timber for the wood burning stoves. There is a fully functioning well in the garden.

7 Viewing Keridan House Words and photos cannot do justice to this exceptional property. The location, the peace and quiet, the wildlife, the garden, the clear skies and starry nights, the further potential and the high quality of the accommodation cannot be described and have to be seen to be believed. Keridan House is the residence of the current owners who now need to pass it on to someone a little younger who will continue to look after it and love it as they have for the last 20 years.
