A grand sea-facing house with more than a hectare of tree-dotted grounds and private access to the shore, nestled in southern Brittany. The house stands just outside the town, on a hillside. It is a site full of history where the remains of a Gallo-Roman salting centre can be seen. According to legend, the property lies on the foundations of the mythical castle of King Mark of Cornwall. The tale relates the tragic fate of the king’s nephew Tristan and his lover Iseult. Having drunk a love potion, this young man, Tristan, fell in love with his uncle’s fiancée. To escape the king’s wrath, the young lovers fled to a nearby island. Today, this small island still bears Tristan’s name.
As you walk along a private path, the spectacular bay gradually emerges before your eyes. A winding lane takes you to a wooden gate that stands between two pilasters. The gate leads into the grounds. A low stone wall separates the property from the public path that edges it.
The house in its current form was built then extended in the first half of the 20th century with reused stones, mainly from dismantled manors and abbeys in the region. It is large in size with plain, unevenly organised faces that are punctuated with many windows. Its slate roof with protruding gutters is strikingly original in design. This roof is dotted with many hipped dormers crowned with finials that are all different.

Manor Brest (29)

A 14th-century manor house with outbuildings and 2 5 hectares of grounds, five minutes from beaches in Brittany's Finistère department, near the city of Brest. The residence is situated in the countryside, not far from the sea. A small road leads past a hamlet of recently built houses to the property, which is closed off by an entrance gate framed by stone pillars. From there, a driveway lined with trees leads to the manor house. Surrounded by the manor's high walls and outbuildings, a gravel courtyard planted with trees and flowers is accessed through two wrought iron gates. Hedges and trimmed shrubs line the facades. Near to the house, there is a well fed by a spring. The garden to the side and rear comprises a number of different areas, bordered by trimmed hedges. There is a guest house located outside the perimeter of the courtyard and its various bordering buildings. An old bakehouse to the rear serves as an outbuilding. Finally, a dovecote stands in a meadow on the other side of the driveway. Most of the buildings have slate gable roofs. Their facades are of local stone, gneiss rock and garnet mica schist. The majority of the windows and skylights are rectangular, half of the latter are topped by chimney stacks.
