Owner profile
Robin
About the owner
Margaret, Tim (our son) and myself own a very nice property in Brittany and we treat this as our second home. The property has a large garden, a 4 bedroom farm house that is available for summer self catering holidays and a 2 bedroom cottage that we use ourselves as often as we are able. The garden and these two houses are maintained to a good standard.
We all love a peaceful time, walks on the beach and the odd swim. Margaret is a keen gardener and I like DIY jobs. Roc'h ar Hed is perfect for all this, the beaches are fantastic, about a 20 min drive, the garden is very tranquil, surrounded by grazing land and has a mixture of trees and grassy areas. The DIY tasks keep me with some challenges during the winter.
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having a Channel Island background and sailing into French ports we got to love this part of France. Good food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly people.
Roc'h ar Hed was build around 1850 and has many typical Breton features, such as being built into bedrock - which provides climatic stability.
As keen gardeners the 2.5 acres sets a suitable challenge and as a typical engineer, the DIY keeps Robin busy during the winter.
Unique benefits of the property
The area is peaceful and relaxing. The beaches fantastic. The variety of sea food available is amazing. Often when visiting we don't leave for days on end since everything one could possible want is on the door step.
Its a good re-charge.
