Ar Ty Chaux

Description
The location of Ar Ty Chaux is unique - set on the River Rance and on the site of a former lime kiln, the house was converted from two lime workers’ cottages by its architect and artist owners. In recent years used as an art gallery, the house was designed to take advantage of the light reflecting from the river, and the superb natural setting of woodlands and meadows.
The interior has been carefully planned by the owners to be stylish, modern and comfortable, with large windows to fully appreciate the beautiful views over the countryside and river. Central heating and good insulation throughout the house make the house extremely comfortable even in the depths of winter.

A flight of external steps lead to a stylish kitchen/dining area with large picture windows, giving superb views over the river and meadows. The kitchen is light and fully equipped with solid wood worktops and with a dining area with glass topped table seating eight. Leading off the dining area is a double bedroom and a bedroom with bunk beds which is ideal for children. A large third bedroom leads off the kitchen with two single beds, and large windows giving superb views to the river and countryside. Bathroom with bath, sink and WC.
A short flight of stairs leads down to a large living area with three comfortable sofas (one of which is a bed settee), chairs and a DVD player with large TV screen. This room can be used as an additional bedroom to provide sleeping for a further two people.
Outside there is a gravelled patio area with garden furniture, a lawned area overlooking the river, and on a slope at the side and rear of the house a woodland area, perfect for children to explore.

Location
Ar Ty Chaux is set on the river in peaceful countryside just by the river with a riverside path leading either to medieval Dinan or the village of Lehon, both about a 5 minute stroll. There is wildlife in abundance here, with otters, deer, kingfisher and herons making regular appearances. The attractive historic port area of Dinan is quickly reached, with a good baker, a selection of popular restaurants, bistros and cafes. You can also hire boats and canoes here and the town centre can be reached easily by either walking up the hill or taking a bus. The historic town centre of Dinan is a well preserved example of a medieval town, with a wealth of original half timbered buildings, ancient castle and impressive stone ramparts. Every two years, the town plays host to a weekend long Medieval Festival celebrating the life and culture at the time the town was built – an unforgettable experience.

The pretty village of Léhon is about a 7 minute walk from the house along the riverside path. There is an ancient Abbey here, a ruined 12th century castle and a beautiful assembly of stone cottages and cobbled streets. Another reason for walking here is the heated open air pool, available to use at all times of the year.
The North Brittany coast with its series of superb sandy beaches is about a 35 minute drive away. St Malo and Mont St Michel are also a short drive and well worth the journey.
