Language School Team Building & Activity Centre For Sale

Business description

Beautiful french manoir for sale with 5 beds, self-contained apartment, longere to be renovated and dormitories and private rooms for up to 50 guests. Currently running as a language school this property has everything needed to become a high-useage outward-bound activity centre.

The main house offers extensive living area including large lounge with wood-burning insert fireplace, large family kitchen,dining room overlooking rear terrace and lawns, 5 bright and well appointed rooms, 2 family bathrooms, pantry and utility room in the basement and huge attic to be converted. The roof has recently been completely renovated. There is a large courtyard in front of the house and large lawns with mature trees to the rear.
Two garages to the sides of the courtyard provide ample dry storage for cars and equipment.

The property sits on the side of hill overlooking the nearby lake and nature reserve.

At the entrance to the courtyard is a longere to renovate which could offer either a holiday rental property or additional accommodation.

To the right of the main house is the entrance to the main guest quarters with large refectory, boys and girls showerrooms, dormitories with capacity for 46 and 4 single rooms for teachers/trainers.

Underneath the main house is a separate twin room apartment which is completely self-contained with a kitchen, showerroom, large bright lounge and has its own private terrace.

Within a radius of 20 kms of the property there are already established activities without accommodation including paintballing, acrobranch, quad biking, water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking and all-terrain biking.

The property only currently markets itself as a language school for Uk and Irish students on school trips, but much more could be made of the local facilities and the existing facilities of the property to target the ever-increasing market for outward-bound and team-building breaks.

Property information

Real Estate:

Real Property Included

Living accommodation:

The main house is the ideal family home with 5 large rooms, two bathrooms and large high-ceiling family kitchen. The house retains many of the original features such as oak staircase up three floors, original oak flooring, tall windows to maximise light and cut-stone trim around windows and doors.

Location:

At the edge of a village overlooking a lake and nature reserve set deep in the heart of central brittany but only 1.5 hours from most local ports and airports.

Other information

Expansion potential:

All the activities for outward-bound breaks are available within a short distance of the property, but no one is able to provide this type of accommodation to the potential market and so the link has not been made and the opportunity to market french-based activity holidays to large or small groups has not been touched. The potential is to continue the school trips during their season, and then to market the activity breaks through the rest of the year to maiximse the potential of the property.
Two large attics could easily be transformed to provide an additional 20 beds and the longere could be developed into additional group or even family accommdation.

Competition / Market:

There is nothing nearby that provides this level of accommodation that is not a hotel. Ideal for large groups who are sharing time and space together.

Support & training:

The current owners are staying in the area because of schools, so help with set-up will be available.

Reasons for selling:
