Candy Froggie's Lair

Now the details...:-)
This house is at least more than 2 centuries-old (but the owner could not tell really... we'll make research!).
It's located in a hamlet with full of old old houses in stones, which is at about 5km from the medieval town of Dinan.
The whole area is protected, no one can build anything new around. Phewwww! (the kind of detail you've to check when looking for a house huh!).

There are 6 rooms, the whole house being about 80m2. Smaller than I wanted, but who said size did matter at the end ;-)
We've 2 gardens, 1 in front, 1 behind... with incredible views.
From the garden behind (which goes to the river Rance), we can follow a path that leads us directly to a pub!!!! the "saint patrick's", in the small harbour near!
Woooooooooooo!!!

The price of the house is of 84 000 euros. And this is not the kind of price you can find anymore there, even with lots of renovations to be made!
That's why we took the decision so quickly. And we were not the only ones to want this house! Phewwwww, we've been very lucky!
So yes there are lots of works to be made...

The roof should be re-done, but it's still ok (it will wait).
We've to connect the houses making openings on each floor (and the walls are about 60cm to 1m thick!).
We've to build 2 big windows on the first floor and to install 2, 4 roof windows.
All that will be made by professionnals. We wait for their quotation right now (trembling in my boots)..

We've to lower the floor a bit (for my giant hubby :P)... it won't be easy, the house is built on a rock!
We've to make a kitchen, bathroom, toilets and the other rooms.
We've to build 2 stairs.
We've to take care of the stones'walls so that they look like they were ages ago:)
And all that we'll be made by ourselves and with the help of courageous friends and relatives :P

It sounds like there are lots of works to be made, hey?!
Yup, that's right, but that's about what we wanted! hehe

As soon as it's ok we'll start looking for a job there, but till then (I think 3 years minimum), we'll probably have to stay in Paris where we get the money.
It won't be easy to pay for the flat + the house, but we'll make it.

Anyway, the house is not ours yet. We've signed a "purchase promise", and we're given now 2 months to find a bank that will allow us to get a credit.

Now you know everything! :-)))**~~*^* * * *
