Barbara, Ivan and their daughter Jasmin
About the owner
We are an English couple, Ivan and Barbara, and own two houses in the Morbiham area, within a couple of miles of each other. We still live in the UK but are working actively towards selling up and moving to France permanently this year.
We are globe trotters, having lived in the USA, Ghana, Germany & Corsica.
We have two dogs, which is why wewelcome pets to our homes in France.
Our local connection is a couple who live in Malansac, just down the road from Rochefort en Terre.
The husband, Jean-Marc, helped Ivan with the restoration and modernisation work in Rochefort and his wife Dominique does all our cleaning and changeovers for us when we are not there.
We have tried to make our houses feel like home rather than a holiday let and bid you welcome to la Morbihan.
A bientot!
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We already own a house in Malansac, the next village to Rochefort, and love the area.
In this small area of France there is for us a perfect blend of tranquility AND plenty to see and do.
Unique benefits of the property
Rochefort is a truly quaint and charming medieval town and is a real pleasure to visit, but it does suffer from a shortage of parking, which is why we were so pleased to find our house, which has a spacious garage built in to the property.
The views from the bedrooms and the upstairs living room are truly spectacular.
