Our beautiful home of over 14 years a former farmhouse is for sale. We have decided it is time to downsize somewhere in this beautiful area of Brittany Ille et Vilaine.

.The stone Longere is set in the charming hamlet of Ardilloux. There are five other houses and all the neighbours are very friendly and helpful. The house has retained many features such as oak beams and stone walls but with all the modern comforts . At the moment it is divided into 3 houses, named Les Etoiles (the stars) this is the owner's accommodation Le Soleil (the Sun) the 3 bedroomed house with false wall which can be opened easily to provide a 5 /6 bedroomed house and La Lune(the Moon) 2 bedrooms part of the house but separated by a granite wall. Each part of the house was so named because of the stunning starry skies and fabulous sunsets.

Les Etoiles, (66m2), has an open plan kitchen diner and lounge; a bright room with double doors each side and 3 windows . One set of doors lead to a decking terrace leading to a large patio. There is an insert wood burner and a discreet under-stair w.c. Upstairs is a large landing part of which is currently used as an office.

The next part of the house known as Le Soleil is separated from Les Etoiles by a soundproofed wall containing 3 bedrooms and is currently run as a gite.
When the wall is opened the owners area and this would make a lovely family home of 5/6 bedrooms. Schools are close by one being in Tremblay 5 minutes and St Brice en Cogles 10 mins drive. There is a school bus that will stop by the house.

Each bedroom and the bathroom have radiators.

Gardens surround the house with well established shrubs. One area is used for badminton. Although the house is connected to mains water it is useful to have the charming well for watering the garden. Across the quiet country road is an apple orchard, a beautifully renovated bread oven and a swing set .

The house is on the D97 between Tremblay and Chauvigné and there is very little traffic ,(mainly tractors from time to time or horses and cyclists passing by).
