Canal-Side Living Potential - 2-Bedroom New-Build Bungalow in Gouarec (Côtes-d'Armor, 22)
This new-build 2-bedroom bungalow project is located in Gouarec, a well-known and much-loved village in central Brittany, set along the Nantes-Brest canal. Gouarec has a strong appeal for both French and international buyers thanks to its relaxed atmosphere, lively community, and beautiful natural surroundings.
The bungalow is designed as a single-storey home, offering simplicity, comfort, and easy day-to-day living. It is delivered fully turnkey, meaning the property is completely finished and ready to move into upon handover. This includes flooring throughout, white-painted walls, a fitted kitchen, an equipped bathroom, heating system, full electrical installation, controlled ventilation (Vmc), driveway, access paths, and all utility connections.
Inside, the layout is practical and welcoming, typically centred around an open-plan living area that combines lounge, dining space, and kitchen. Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, complemented by a bathroom, a separate Wc, and a utility room for storage and laundry. The design can be adapted to your needs, with options such as a terrace, garage, or internal layout adjustments.
Gouarec is particularly appreciated for its canal-side walks, cycling routes, and friendly village life. The village offers a good range of local services including shops, cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy, medical services, and a weekly market. It has a lively but relaxed feel, popular with walkers, cyclists, and those looking for a strong sense of community.
The Lac de Guerlédan, one of Brittany's most impressive lakes, is just a short drive away and offers beaches, swimming, sailing, and extensive walking trails. Larger towns such as Rostrenen and Pontivy provide additional amenities including supermarkets, hospitals, and cultural facilities.
Road access in the area is good, allowing easy travel across Brittany. Rennes is approximately 1 hour away by car and offers a Tgv station with direct high-speed connections to Paris in around 1 hour 30. Both the north and south Brittany coasts are accessible for day trips.
The house is built under the French Ccmi contract (Contrat de Construction de Maison Individuelle), ensuring a fixed and final price agreed before construction begins, a guaranteed delivery timeframe, and legally regulated stage payments. This provides strong legal and financial security for the buyer.
Construction fully complies with Re2020 environmental regulations, delivering excellent insulation, low energy consumption, efficient heat-pump heating systems, controlled ventilation, and good comfort levels throughout the year. These standards significantly reduce running costs and ensure long-term energy efficiency.
Each project is covered by Dommages-Ouvrage insurance, providing a 10-year structural guarantee with rapid cover in the event of any major defect, without lengthy legal procedures.
