House buy in Auray Bretagne

Fully restored 19c Manoir * Direct unspoiled waterscape views * 5 hectare estate * Pool, tennis courts and park * Guardians/guest lodge * Private and secluded setting French Domaines are excited to offer this fabulous period manoir through our Gulf of Morbihan partner. Unspoiled views over water from all of the three floors as well as direct access this beautiful home dates back to 1860 and is in excellent condition benefiting from a recent new roof. Loved and enjoyed by the current owners they have provided spacious family accommodation set amidst a sumptuous mature park of 5 hectares with waterscape views on two sides. The manoir offers plenty of accommodation including 12 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms on the upper two floors with dining hall, kitchen and reception rooms on the ground floor. There are various utility rooms along with a wine cellar and integral double garage. The guardians house is divided into workshop and utility areas as well as extra living space - an ideal guest lodge. The 'kidney' shaped pool and pool house are located within easy reach of the manoir without intruding on the park views and the enclosed hard tennis court (could do with a spruce up) is situated to the side. Across the path from the stone stepped rear door on the coastal side of the manoir steps lead gently down to the private terraces that provide a slipway and direct access to the water with views over the oyster beds and beyond. The 5 hectares are walled and have electric gated access ensuring privacy and security for those within. Various mature trees dating back over 100 years line the driveway and when I visited the rhododendrons were in full bloom - stunning and quite fitting within this protected zone. All of the above and still within 15 minutes drive of Auray and it's TGV station and local amenities. A truly unique property offering a touch of heaven to those that are privileged enough to visit or stay. * :
