In Brittany, with sea views, a 120 m² traditional house.
In southern Finistère, at the western edge of the historic pays of Bigouden, the Atlantic coastline stretches in long sandy beaches broken by granite outcrops. The property stands in Penmarc'h, a coastal village of three harbours, each ringed by traditional local housing. Set between the Eckmühl lighthouse and the busy quays of Saint-Guénolé, on the edge of a protected natural area, the address is discreet. Quimper station is 30 minutes by car from, Paris is 4 hours by train.
Set at the end of a residential cul-de-sac, the plot is bounded by a low ashlar wall. The house stands slightly set back from the road, which runs along its north elevation. A pedestrian path skirts the property to the west and south.
The house rises one level above ground. In the style of the 1950s, the walls are rendered rubble stone with dressed granite surrounds to all openings. Flanked by two gable-end chimney stacks, the symmetrical gabled slate roof runs north to south. Two long shed dormers light the upper level. A garage adjoins to the east. The main entrance is at the centre of the north elevation; a secondary entrance opens to the west. To the south, a French window gives onto the garden. Window and door frames are in PVC with electrically operated roller shutters on the ground floor and manually operated roller shutters on the upper level.
