Humbly Yours Arradon, Brittany

Property Description

Sitting not too far from the shores of the geographically peculiar Gulf of Morbihan, this home strikes the perfect balance between being surrounded by a wealth of attractions while also being a pleasant address in and of itself which you'll be more than content to pass many an hour.

Those with an eye for detail might notice a discrepancy between the rustic stone exterior and the contemporary design inside, and they would be correct in guessing that it's received a lot of attention recently. There's nothing showy or over-the-top about the furnishings and finishes – just a pleasing combination of white walls, wooden floors and a gloriously sleek kitchen. That's not to say every inch of heritage has been ripped out, however – the period fireplace is still just as cosy to gather besides, for instance.

When the sun makes an appearance, there's space to sit out and soak up the rays on the terrace and adjoining lawn, but there are also plenty of beaches to discover nearby, including the closest just 200 metres away. In local Arradon, there are a smattering of bars and restaurants with which to get acquainted, but you'll find a larger array in the larger town of Vannes, just a short drive away.
