In 1571 the manor belonged to Georges Pavye. The surnames
Surcouf and Penfeunteniou are also cited among the oldest owners. Shortly
before the French Revolution, Trostang passed into the hands of a banker
based in Lannion, Mr Bastiou, who is said to have funded the Rohans in the
affair of the "Queen's diamond necklace".
The former house was destroyed during the revolution and
entirely rebuilt with a wonderful Renaissance-style porch with columns and
pediment. The new manor house included a huge basement room with an old
arched doorway, accessible via a stone staircase, a soul-stirring vestige
of a former tower.
Complete restoration
In 2005 the entire interior was restored using old materials
and techniques and brought up to date with modern standards
(sewers, plumbing, electricity, doors and windows, oil-fired central
heating, roof, etc.). The work was managed by a contractor specialising
in old dwellings, who was therefore able to preserve the building's
cachet and authenticity. The purchaser will be provided with
full details of the restoration work carried out, all invoices and
the ten-year warranty provided by each sub-contractor. NO FURTHER
EXPENDITURE ON THE HOUSE NEED BE ENVISAGED.
A technical expert opinion on the building's energy performance
(insulation) placed it in category C: 124, corresponding
to an energy-saving dwelling.
The total floor area is approximately 280 m² on three
levels, each with a WC. All of the rooms receive good natural light,
and both those facing front (south) and back (north) offer excellent
views. The basement includes a superb 16th century wine cellar, with
a floor area of 35m². |
