House in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, Côtes-d'Armor

Coastal Living in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo – A Unique Home Blending Old and Contemporary

Combining the charm of an 18th-century stone house with contemporary architecture, this distinctive 338 m² property in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo offers six bedrooms, generous living areas and a landscaped garden with a heated swimming pool. Its flexible layout, including two ground-floor bedrooms and the potential for separate guest accommodation, makes it well suited to family life, a coastal retreat or a permanent home near the beaches of Brittany's Emerald Coast.

From the outside, climbing plants soften the traditional façade, while Juliet balconies hint at the character within. Inside, original stonework and slate floors meet modern design, with large windows and French doors bringing natural light into the house and opening onto the garden and pool. Renovated between 2005 and 2008 and partially reconfigured in 2021, the property combines its historic and contemporary elements to create a welcoming and individual home.

Generous Living Spaces for Family and Entertaining

The 58 m² main living area is particularly inviting, with a wood-burning fireplace and a separate area featuring built-in shelving for books, records or personal collections. Large French doors lead onto a terrace overlooking the swimming pool, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area provide plenty of room for everyday family life and entertaining. A striking monumental fireplace with a Godin wood-burning stove forms a natural focal point, while a separate 24 m² sitting room offers additional space to relax. This room extends into a veranda overlooking the pool, providing a peaceful spot to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.

Six Bedrooms and Flexible Accommodation

The property has six bedrooms, including two on the ground floor, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom. This versatile layout comfortably accommodates family and friends, with the potential to create separate living arrangements for different generations.

The original stone-built section could also be used independently as guest accommodation or potentially adapted as a gîte, subject to any necessary permissions and practical requirements. A discreet kitchenette can be concealed when not in use, allowing this part of the house to function separately or integrate seamlessly with the main living space. This flexibility is ideal for accommodating relatives, welcoming guests or exploring holiday-let opportunities.

A Landscaped Garden with Heated Swimming Pool

Set within approximately 2,000 m² of landscaped grounds, the garden features mature trees, fruit trees and shaded corners for relaxing on warm summer days. A greenhouse offers space for growing plants and vegetables, while the exotic hardwood terraces are ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Beside the house, the 12 × 3.5 m swimming pool is heated by a heat pump, extending the swimming season beyond the height of summer. An outdoor shower adds convenience, while a combined sauna / hammam, installed in 2023, provides an extra touch of comfort. The contemporary extension's distinctive green roof further enhances the property's individual architectural style, allowing the modern structure to blend into its leafy surroundings.

Private Parking and a Large Garage

Practical features complement the property's lifestyle appeal. Private parking and a substantial 43 m² garage provide space for vehicles, bicycles, beach equipment, water-sports gear, a workshop or additional storage. Whether used as a holiday home or a permanent residence, the property offers the space and facilities for comfortable everyday living.
