Jane MacKerron's selection of French property for sale

About my area

I am based in the beautiful Cote d'Armor, 22 in Brittany. My husband and I chose this area to live as it's close to the links to the UK for family to visit but we also love the easy access to Rennes, Dinan, excellent train links around France and the rugged beaches of northern Brittany, just a short drive away. Considering all it has to offer we were also attracted by the affordable cost of properties in the area. Amazing value and still many bargains to be had. The standard of living here is what people dream of; the roads are quiet, the streets are safe and the Breton people are incredibly friendly, offering a warm welcome to all. Even the smallest villages tend to have a boulangerie and a bar. You are never far from a weekly market which takes place on different days of the week, depending on the town, offering clothes, vegetables, fruit, plants and of course bread! Whatever type of property you are looking for, from chateau to renovation, permanent home to holiday bolt hole, I will do my best to find the right property for you so that you too can start to live the dream in France.

About me

Although my previous working life has not revolved around property, I’ve always had a very keen interest in the market and, over the years, my husband and I have bought, improved and sold a fair number of properties, both in the UK and abroad. We’re now ‘living our dream’ in Brittany, putting our property experience to good use with Leggetts whilst my husband, Ross, renovates our lovely new property here. So, we’ve actually done it ourselves – we’ve actually experienced the highs and lows of moving to France (far, far more positives than negatives!) and I’m now enjoying helping others find their dream home in this fantastic part of France. Many years ago, I worked within several sales areas, almost all prioritising service and value over profit. Whilst my children were of school age, I moved into educational pastoral support roles that I loved and which allowed me to work around a school term. However, a long dreamt of move to France called for a fresh challenge – and I am absolutely loving working with Leggetts. It’s genuinely rewarding to match buyers to sellers and watch the magic happen….I hope that I can help you in the same way.
