Help around the house and gardens Mael Pestivien, France

Detalhes

  Descrição

  We are a couple who moved full time to France from England 5 years ago to live the rural dream. We are currently restoring an old breton longhouse and developing its garden of 2 acres. The house is nearing completion, but the garden needs time spent on it to achieve its full potential. What we are looking for is help with the garden and hopefully someone who has good DIY skills to help with aspects of the restoration. What we can offer you is your own well appointed ensuite bedroom within a well restored interior. We are sociable people with many friends: friends who would welcome workaways to join in on the our varied social life.
  Our house is located in the centre of Brittany. Its a very beautiful rural area. It's about 45 minutes from the rose granite coast. The area is famous for its celtic history and boasts many fine building and historic sites. For us, the move to this area was the best decision we have ever made, and we would welcome you into our home.

  Ajuda

  We are retired, but not of retirement age. Our house and gardens need that boost to get them over the line. So what we are looking for is someone who enjoys gardening. Weeding, planting, pruning and even a little bit if chainsaw work and heavier lifting if possible, but not essential. The house is nearing completion, but on site is another building we have rebuilt. It is currently a shell. So we would like help boarding out the rooms, and general DIY to make it into a useable space. Ideally we want a person who can combine both areas of skill, but the garden is the first area, and the house the second. My background is in design teaching, so there would be the opportunity to develop practical skills if required.
