About the owner
We live just outside Reading and my husband is self employed, we have two young teenage boys. As with most people we have very busy lives so we escape to Brittany at every opportunity.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We all love France and have holidayed there for many years, but we love Brittany because it reminds us of childhood holidays in Cornwall, with the French Culture and food thrown in. As a family we are real water babies and love the beaches around Southern Brittany for the surfing, we also sail and windsurf, so the craggy coastline, with its traditional villages, gorgeous harbours and picturesque cliff walks never fail to give pleasure, whatever time of year. The rolling countryside and peace and quiet around Lann Douar is perfect to come back to after a busy day at the coast. The extensive, flat gardens have been great for the boys to play and cycle in safety, we enjoy being able to walk and cycle direct from the house along the quiet lanes, which surround St Jean Brevelay.
Unique benefits of the property
The easy journey from St Malo makes short visits possible, we always take the overnight ferry and are down at St Jean Brevelay by 11am. We use Lann Douar all year round and have ensured that the house is warm and very comfortable at all times. We recently replaced the central heating with individually controlled heaters to ensure maximum heat where needed. The sofas and chairs all have throws and lots of cushions for added comfort,there are book cases full of books and games and we have a large number of DVD's and videos for those cosy evenings in. Rucksacs, folding chairs, travel rugs and thermos flasks ensure exploring the local countryside is always fun. Summer and Winter duvets and lots of spare bedding also ensure comfort all year round.
