Détails: The property is set up as a gite complex and located in the small village of Bonen and approx 5 mins drive to the market town of Rostrenen. The property has been undergoing renovation and there is scope to increase the accommodation and letting potential. The fully renovated gites are currently being advertised and let out and enjoy a good response from the owners dedicated website which will be handed on to the purchaser and receives a high ranking on google. The most gite furniture and appliances can be included in the sale subject to negotiation with the owners to allow for immediate letting. Any future bookings at the time of completion can be transferred.
At present the complex comprises of three fully renovated and lettable gites forming Longere 1. Two gites have two bedrooms and the third has one bedroom. In addition there is scope to finish renovation on two large stone longeres which could provide additional three or four bedroom gite or owner’s accommodation. The property has the benefit of approx 2 hectares of beautiful land with breathtaking views which could also be used for equestrian pursuits and a fishing lake. To the rear of the property is an elevated decked pool area which has a swimming pool with security fencing and pool alarm to comply with regulations. From the pool area are outstanding views across the gently sloping land, fishing lake and across the valley. The property has the advantage of access to local village amenities along withe views over its land and open countryside beyond giving a great advantage for letting potential.
There are two garage annexes to each side of Longere 2 (renovation project) which are useful storage areas. Longere 3 has had partial renovation work done and is used for a utility facility with plumbing for washing machine and shower/bath areas part finished. This building has a large original feature fireplace and would provide two more gites or a spacious owner’s home.
There is a second double gated entrance into the rear of the property where there is a very large open hangar/barn which can provide covered parking for up to six vehicles and houses the pump and filtration room for the pool. To one side of Longere 2 is a quiet lane with a third entrance which is currently not used but with extra wide wooden gates can give access to furniture removal lorries etc.
The owners use the middle gite as their owner’s accommodation but by restoring one of the additional two longeres it would be possible to create a 3 bedroom owner’s house and have three ready to let gites with potential for more. The business is fully registered under French regulations and can provide a home and income with potential to expand the business. The property benefits from gas central heating using an LPG tank in the garden which is under lease contract.
The complex is accessed via a double gated entrance with a slate roof canopy over leading into a large gravel parking and turning area with ample space for several vehicles. There are also areas laid to lawn with concrete paths leading to each gite. The gites face into the gravel and garden area forming an enclosure. There is an original working stone well which has a safety wooden covering.

LARGE OPEN HANGER
Main used for storing wood and parking of up to 6 vehicles the hanger also has a separate area which houses the pool pump and filtration system.

The garden area around the gites is laid mainly to lawn with a children’s play area equipped with swings.

Another advantage is that mains drainage has been brought to the side of the property by the local mairie and would be relatively easy to connect to serve all the gites.
