Location
Located on the east side of a small bay – Baie de La Forêt – on the south coast of Brittany, the port town of Concarneau is emblematic of Brittany’s Finistère department. It draws many visitors with its 15th-century fortified town and 11 beaches that dot the coast around it. The villa lies in a highly sought-after neighbourhood, less than 50 metres from Cornouaille beach, a family beach of fine sand. It stands on a discreet, tree-lined residential road that links the town centre to the seaside districts. You can reach shops, the port and the walled town on foot in less than 10 minutes. From a train station in the nearby city of Quimper, 20 kilometres away, you can get to Paris in 3 hours and 30 minutes by rail.
Description
The house was built in the early 20th century as part of a tradition of seaside villas. The architecture combines regional and interwar influences. Flanked with its twin house from its beginnings, the house has been extended and renovated in a contemporary style. It has a garden-level floor, a first floor, a second floor and a third floor in the roof space. There is a main section and a secondary section on the side that is set back slightly. The facade faces west and looks out at the sea. This facade is a gable end, triangular at the top and stretching slenderly up. A small window set in a red-brick arch – a neo-Breton style – marks the top. The main gabled slate roof has eaves. On the first floor, there is a balcony with a wooden cross-motif balustrade. It brings out the symmetrical design of the facade and rests upon a protruding bay window that brings natural light into the living room. The entrance door is set in a semicircular arch of red brick and exposed stonework. The combination of material forms a subtle polychrome of pale rendering, brickwork and rubble stone. Facing the bay, a low wall of rubble stone crowned with fencing forms the street-side enclosure. A gate stands in this wall and fence. From another street, which runs alongside the property, a vehicle gate leads to the back of the plot.
