The house is a classic French farmhouse with a large wood-burning fireplace, tile and wood floors and exposed beams giving it a traditional and warm atmosphere. Upstairs on the top floor, the huge loft has been newly converted to the master bedroom with a wooden floor and beams and shuttered windows which open onto a panoramic view over the fields and agricultural land surrounding. The room is newly furniture with a new en-suite bathroom. There are 2 comfortable double bedrooms on the first floor, 1 of which is recently renovated. The house is centrally heated throughout with newly fitted windows, doors and shutters. We'll leave enough wood for the fireplace for the first night or 2 at the house and more logs can be purchased at the local supermarkets thereafter.
Le Hambout is in the small village of St Andre des Eaux 5 minutes from the town of Evran set on a river with a lock. There's a picturesque lake 5 minutes away which is perfect for a stroll. The area is peaceful and the property is set off of a grass track. Le Hambout is 10 minute drive from the historic walled city of Dinan with many restaurants, pavement cafes and a marina where you can enjoy a glass of wine while watching the boats.
Forty minutes from the property is the beautiful port town of St Malo with it's tremendous wartime history and scene of many prestigious sailboat races. Also the same distance away is the awesome Mont Saint Michel which everyone should visit in their lifetime.Between the 2 are a host of sandy beaches and seaside towns such as Cancale where you can spend a day walking in the harbour and enjoying fresh seafood in the many seafront diners.
