The property stands on its own land having a small rural road on
two sides; the area is farmed for both agricultural products and
dairy (one farm with an adjoining field is organic). There is a
slight incline upwards from the house over the property.
As with all Brittany farmhouses, the longère is built with all
principle windows facing south and is alleged to occupy a site
on which a farmstead has been in existence for over three
hundred years. The nearest neighbour is in a house some 110
metres to the north (part of the property’s large barn and a
paddock separate the two).
The nearest hamlet (farming community) is just under 1km away
whilst the nearest town is 3 kms. In the town are four bars, two
restaurants, a hotel, two bakeries, three banks, post office,
two insurance offices, two doctors (one of whom speaks excellent
English), a vet, ’8 a huit’ convenience store, filling station,
mairie and gendarmerie. The Nantes and Brest Canal runs through
the town, which even has its own marina and a kayak club. There
are a number of ’chasses’ in the area and there are also target
shooting clubs.
The main shopping towns in the area are Loudeac (11 kms),
Pontivy (19 kms) and Josselin (22 kms); the latter two having
their own weekly markets.

GARDEN
There are four aspects to the garden. Close to the house is a
rose garden stocked principally with David Austin roses. The
lawn and shrubbery are to the front of the house featuring, in
the main, evergreen shrubs and trees, but it does have a very
productive nectarine tree. The lawn area also features a small
pond. There is a formal and established herb garden beyond the
lawn, which contains thirty-eight varieties of herb.
To one corner of the herb garden there is a garden swing and a
medlar tree. The far side of the smaller barn contains a
vegetable garden and an orchard, which has peach, apple, plum,
pear and fig trees. A soft fruit section of this garden has
raspberries (spring through to autumn), strawberries, red
currants, blackberries and blueberries. The main areas of the
gardens can be reached by gravelled paths.
There is a ’greenhouse’ (8.5m x 5.9m) with two raised beds
beside the main access gate to the ’land’.
THE BARNS
Two barns: one in front of the ’unconverted’ end of the longère
and the second, larger one, to the rear of the house.
The larger barn (30.5m x 17.6m = 536.8m2) The roof supports are
down the centre line.
The smaller barn is 23.7m x 17.0m = 402.9m2.
There is an open gated ’pen’ on the western end of the larger
barn (12.9m x 8.30m).
THE LAND
With the exception of an English cider apple orchard (ten trees
and four varieties), a comer planted with some twenty eucalypt
trees (sixteen varieties) and a ’pine wood’ containing pines,
firs and cedars that are fenced off, the land is left open for
grazing. Within the open area there are 200 willows and sixty
ash saplings planted up to produce a future supply of firewood.
There is also an area that has been planted with some forty
trees (ash, oak, birch, holly, hornbeam, alder, rowan, thorn,
spindle and a mulberry tree). A large pond has also been sunk
near this area in which, prior to the recent appearance of a
heron, were some 150 fish (gold fish and carp).
The grazing land is divided into three fenced paddocks and two
more could be added with additional fencing. All fencing is
graded to contain sheep, which have been the only grazing animal
for four years. Water for the land has to be carried by tank
trailer or, as currently, a hosepipe connection to a 450-litre
heavy-duty tank.
SERVICES
The house is connected to mains water, electricity and telephone
(broadband compatible). To the rear of the house is an
underground gas tank, fosse-septique and a ground level oil
tank. In front of the kitchen is a well, which has been
connected to pump and well-head tank for garden and animal usage
only.
