About the owner
We are David and Janet Murphy, and we have lived in Brittany for 10 years. David comes from Essex, and I am a Londoner. The main reasons we decided to move to France were for a better quality of life with time to spend with each other, to not be so stressed and to go back to the simple things that really matter. David works for a local company. He is the only English person that works there and he loves it. I have taken French courses here and now speak French well. I have entered the gardening competition and came 2nd last year and 1st this year, I was so surprised and honoured. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 11 hens and 1 cock called Napoleon, lovely eggs, and our chickens are not for the table. We have spent the past years renovating our house and gite and hope you'll enjoy your stay here.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We originally bought a holiday home, and came out as much as we could. The more we came to Brittany, the more it seemed like home. I used to dread returning to the UK, with the prospect of another long week at work, wanting to be back in France. When I finally persuaded David to give it a try, our house in the UK sold within days, and we were over the next month. We found living in the holiday home was too small full time, and found this house through friends. It was in a bit of a mess, but we saw what it could look like with a lot of work. Now we have a simple life, growing our own vegetables watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. We love to take our dogs to the coast, the beaches are lovely here. We have really good neighbours and they have been very kind and we swap veg.
Unique benefits of the property
We love this property because it is secluded but close to town also. It is on a corner plot with no immediate neighbours. A lot of properties have another house close by, but we love the seclusion. It has some fantastic views, I still can't believe how lucky we are. It is such a buzz even now, to wake up to a fantastic panorama. This area is mainly agricultural. People accept you even if we are in our dirty clothes from gardening. They are happy to help, and love the fact you have taken the time to learn some French. You can have some great 'plat de jour', a lunchtime set menu for around 11 euros, great value. The food seems much fresher and tastier here, as there is not so much processed food. Also, the air is cleaner, and we have some great skies at night, with so many stars.
