The property is situated on the coastal road leading to the neighbouring town of Val-André, a short distance from the town-centre and central beach, which can be reached on foot. It is adjacent to a vast plot of land and is surrounded by seaside residences of different periods and style. In addition to a clearance zone and parking space, it also boasts a vast patio with an outdoor swimming pool. It is enclosed by walls or tall hedges and is tucked away from prying eyes. The house stands in the middle of the plot and was built in the late 19th century in sandstone and brick, in the style of a two-section seaside residence with an L-shaped layout and gable end facade. A protruding section boasts a double level bay window topped by a balcony. It is mainly built of rough-hewn sandstone with red brick quoins, window as well as door surrounds, string courses and high chimney stacks. The steeply sloped slate gabled roof is fitted with zinc ridge caps and is punctuated by gable dormers with triangular pediments. The perpendicular protruding section with a balcony also has a steeply sloped gabled roof with slightly overhanging eaves, plus a discrete cornice underlined by exposed joists under the fascia.

The house

The garden-level floor
This level can be reached via the house’s southern entrance and is on the same level as the patio and swimming pool. An entrance hall opens into a vast hallway with cupboards and a lavatory as well as a period wooden staircase climbing to the top floor. Off the corridor, there is a north-to-south, dual aspect, almost 40-m² lounge/dining room, prolonged by a bay window with a 180° view of the sea, the large beach and town-centre. The room is bathed in light, possesses wood stripped flooring and includes a white marble fireplace, typical of the bourgeois edifices of its time. The hallway also leads to a bedroom with sea views, boasting an adjoining en suite bathroom with a lavatory. The modernly decorated bedroom with cupboards and pastel shades, still boasts the original solid wood stripped flooring. On the other side of the entrance corridor, there is a separate fitted kitchen equipped in line with modern tastes, in which there is a period red and grey marble fireplace. It opens into a single level extension used as a summer dining room into which light streams through large picture windows. It is oriented north-south, looking towards the sea to the north and overlooking the patio and swimming pool to the south.
The first floor
This level can be reached by the period wooden staircase. It is made up of a landing that is bathed in light leading to four bedrooms with exposed, painted trusses. There is period wood stripped flooring throughout. Wallpaper adorns the walls, while the period wooden doors still have their original porcelain doorknobs. Two of the bedrooms enjoy views of the sea and one is prolonged by a balcony boasting a panorama including the nearby main beach and town-centre. The rest of this level includes a bathroom with a lavatory as well as a shower room with a lavatory, both of which have tiled walls.
The ground floor
This level was previously used as a doctor’s surgery and can be reached via an entrance on the northern side of the house or by a staircase from the garden level floor. There is tiling throughout and it is made up of a vast central corridor leading to the doctor’s surgery, a bedroom, an office, a cellar, a storeroom, a utility room and a lavatory. This floor requires refurbishment to suit its future purpose, as an apartment for guests or a home office, for example.
