luxury mills with reception room for sale Côtes-d'Armor, France

30 minutes from the city of Dinan, an old 19th-century mill. A gateway opens onto a courtyard and a large garden. The canal runs along the property to the south. The main house rises to the north, by the side of a road, with the mill extending from it. Originally a wheat mill, it has been converted for tanning and extensively altered during the 19th century. Milling activities ended in the early 1960s, and it became a residence. Built from granite rubble, the building features rectangular openings framed in cut stone and includes a garden level, an elevated ground floor, and an additional attic. The whole is topped with a slate roof with long slopes. The north and south facades bear traces of several building campaigns, notably visible round-headed metal ties and a raised section with wattle and daub and timber framing. The water building, to the east, houses two former horse stables and the still-functional water wheel. This section is constructed of brick and timber framing.This description has been automatically translated from French.

A 19th-century watermill with a reception hall and five hectares of meadows and woods, nestled inland in Brittany but only 30 minutes from the coast. The former watermill is a stone building that stands in the hollow of a small wooded valley. A stream flows beside it, giving structure to the grounds. You reach the property via a tarmacked country lane that slopes down to the valley. You enter the grounds across a little bridge suitable for motor vehicles. This bridge edged with fencing painted white. Just beyond it, there is a circular driveway for turning back around. First, an outbuilding comes into view. It stands out for its broad, arched, panelled double door, painted blue and set in an ashlar surround. A flight of front steps covered with terracotta tiles with a patina of time leads up to this entrance door, beside which there is an outdoor wall lamp. The main building has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. It is crowned with a slate roof with three hipped dormers. The elevations are built of rubble stone and have plain windows. A stream and traces of a former millrace bear witness to the edifice’s original purpose as a watermill. Around the buildings, there are lawns, shrubs and tall trees, including oaks, beeches and a sequoia. This area leads to meadows and woods. Large parking areas have been created outside too. With its remarkable reception hall, professional kitchen and lavatory, the property used to be rented out as an events venue. Its facilities are ready to be used for special events again or they could be converted, for example to increase the liveable floor area or to build an indoor swimming pool.

Nestled in an exceptional setting, in the heart of a preserved and verdant valley, this former watermill dating back to 1770 has been fully renovated and offers a rare, peaceful and timeless living environment. The property extends over an enchanting 4-hectare estate featuring a large pond ideal for boating, a river, meadows, landscaped gardens, an orchard and small woodlands. The mill, offering approximately 133 sqm of living space, is composed as follows: On the ground floor: a spacious kitchen, a pantry, a living/dining room with fireplace, a technical room, a laundry room and a WC.
