Now. . . e are letting out our luxury holiday home Ty Griffett to discerning guests when our own family are not using it. Our longuere is light and airy, with a very large open plan living, dining and kitchen with a mezzanine area above. Two sets of rustic polished wood open-tread stairs lead to the upstairs bedroom and the mezzanine. W Then . . . y Griffett – the little house with loads of potential, if you looked hard! After three years our dream finally came true. T With our limited French we spent 18 months with an architect who didn’t speak a word of English trying to convey our vision for the finished house. We all ended up on the same wavelength & submitted our drawings to obtain planning permission, and of course the planning department operate in French time and not English time! Another 18 months go by trying to find the right builder – preferably one who spoke English – eventually we found Wayne ([email protected]) and he took the project on with gusto. Hooray for Wayne! Our dream house starts to appear – well, actually firstly disappear as when we took the roof off the walls fell down! But eight months later our longuere with loads of potential is now a fantastic large house that has fulfiled its potential and more! The lounge has a vaulted ceiling with that immediate ‘Wow!’ factor when you step inside. It’s focal point is the wood burning stove, complete with a large quantity of wood, just in case the evenings get a bit cool in the winter months. With two large sofas and a easy chair there is plenty of seating for everyone. The kitchen is very well equipped with a stainless steel range cooker with wok burner, microwave/ oven/grill, washing machine and full-size dishwasher. There’s ample crockery & cutlery for 12 settings. The dining area has a large oak table and benches that easily seats eight people or more. Upstairs on the mezzanine is a comfy day-bed settee with pull out bed and a 2/3 seater settee giving perfect viewing of the TV, Playstation (bring your own games!) and DVD player complete with a library of over 200 DVDs. There is also a wireless internet connection, should you feel the need to contact the outside world. The beamed master bedroom upstairs is a haven of tranquillity, with French furniture complete with a large 5ft double bed. There’s an en-suite shower room with luxury contemporary fittings. There are two further beautiful light and airy bedrooms downstairs – a double and a twin – both with ample storage. Also downstairs is the family bathroom, again fitted with luxury contemporary fixtures & fittings. Outside in the extensive one acre well maintained grassed garden there is a small but adequate swimming pool, a secluded patio for relaxing, with a table that seats eight and a barbecue for al fresco cooking and dining. Ty Griffett is a NO SMOKING property. Ty Griffett Noyal Pontivy | Brittany | France Out & about . . . y Griffett is in a very rural and quiet location, yet only five minutes from the local supermarket and patisserie, and 10 minutes from the nearest town of Pontivy; a beautiful little market town on the river Blavet, with a market on Monday mornings. Pontivy old town is beautiful, complete with picturesque timber buildings, cobbled streets with some very interesting little shops and restaurants. There are markets in just about every town in the area so it would be possible to go to a different one every day and buy your cheese, bread, meat, fish or simply to have a nose at the niknaks. T Vannes is the closest seaside town about 40 minutes drive away. A beautiful old town again with timber houses, wonderful restaurants, shops and a harbour. The beaches are outside of town; some are sandy and some small rocky coves. There is so much history in the area it is impossible to list it all, so here’s a few tasters: • A very interesting church at St Nicodem • Chateaux at Josslin, Pontivy, Largoet, Sarzeau. • Lavoir in Baud and Vannes where people did their washing in days gone by. • Medieval town of Montoncour. • Zoo at Pont-Scorff. • Lac au Duc Plomerel, a lake for sailing, canoeing, picnic spots, walking in the woods. • Port St Louis Museum of the French India Company. • Lorient WWII U-boat base. • Carnac ancient stones/megaliths. • Lots of shops! Closer to home it is possible to rent canoes on the Blavet or the local canal; go horse riding; fishing; play golf; tennis; rent bicycles or walk in the many woods and forests – all within an easy drive around the area; or of course just stay at home and relax in the garden. AND, just visiting all the lovely old towns in the region – Dinard, Rennes, Vannes, Jossalin to name but a few – are all well worth a visit for their history, architecture, markets, restaurants with two hour lunches, bars with local wine, shops – oh so many shops (leave the men in the bar!) and obviously the whole ambiance of the French way of living. You will not regret taking some time out at Ty Griffett. Ty Griffett Noyal Pontivy | Brittany | France Weekly prices . . .
