Ref.4502 : 20 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH : Medieval french manor house for sale in Brittany.The property is located in the Morbihan department, in southern Brittany, close to a commune of 2,500 inhabitants that enjoys an ideal location between land and sea. Just 20 minutes from the beaches of Damgan and 35 minutes from Vannes, this small village combines the benefits of a peaceful country life with the proximity of the Breton coastline. It's also easy to get to, thanks to the Nantes-Vannes axis, which provides quick access to the major conurbations.The nearby beaches, the river Vilaine, the many hiking trails and the small Breton ports such as La Roche Bernard offer a multitude of varied activities.The origins of the fortified property date back to the mid-15th century. It was then used as a religious building for priests.In the 16th century, the old building was remodelled by an archdeacon from Vannes: the windows were enlarged, a chimney was built (stump dated 1534) and the staircase was modified. The building was used as a presbytery until 1912. A pretty wooded driveway bordering a pond leads to the property. The manor house has been divided and the sale includes two wings of this U-shaped manor house, as well as a magnificent dovecote with 991 niches and a beautiful round fountain. Access is also possible via the main courtyard.The manor house is built of granite stone, a material emblematic of Breton architecture, offering robustness and elegance. The steeply pitched roof is covered in natural slate. The arched windows with stone frames and red shutters add a touch of elegance and warmth to the stone façade. Two round towers at the corners of the building are typical of fortified manor houses in Brittany. These elements add a medieval feel and reinforce the authenticity of the site. Pushing open the door of this old Breton manor house is like stepping into another time: wide stone slabs on the floor, stone walls, huge granite fireplaces, ceilings with massive beams blackened by time.
