House Le Gouray (22)

Exceptional location with stunning views for this welcoming 5 bed home close to Lamballe
Exceptional location for this large family home with amazing views over its own 5 acres and the Breton countryside beyond. Built in 1978 to a high specification, the property has many outstanding features, granite fireplace & niches and oak fittings. A wonderful home for entertaining throughout the year, with a convivial L shaped lounge, dining room, opening onto an equipped, fitted kitchen this living space is ideal all year round. The double height ceiling overlooked by a 'minstrels' gallery' landing gives a feeling of grandeur, but it's cosy to gather round the fireplace on cooler days and the many doors and windows are ideal for summer, both to enjoy the outside/inside feeling and make the most of those spectacular views.
Location, location, location - yes, it ticks this box amazingly well. Located in its own generous and private plot with extensive views over open countryside, very private and peaceful yet just 3km from a village with many shops, a supermarket, small weekly market.
Who would it suit? It’s been a well-loved second home for a family who have enjoyed the privileged location, surrounded by nature, the peace and tranquillity and the space to welcome family and friends. A family would be at home here, including extended family as the ground floor bedrooms offer a private suite. Or someone who wishes to run a business from home or have a chambres d’hôte. Not forgetting our equestrian friends – it is not currently used for horses, but much of the land would be suitable and subject to planning permission you could build loose boxes.

To the front and side of the house there are terraces allowing inside/outside living and the opportunity to make the most of the far-reaching views.
