House Bastia (2B)
One hour from Bastia, in the heart of Cap Corse, a former sheepfold renovated into a family home with sea views. Built in 1880, as evidenced by a pediment at the back, the house is an old sheepfold made of local stone, with a wooden frame, stone floors, and a slate roof. Its facades, which rise two stories above the ground floor and are quite simple, are mostly coated in ochre pink and pierced with straight openings full of windows or large-pane French doors, some protected by metal railings and many by natural wood shutters. Its roof, with two slopes and slight overhangs, is topped by four brick chimney stacks. Its renovation and expansion, which aimed to adapt it to the requirements of modern comfort, have transformed it into a family dwelling with originally cramped rooms rethought and enhanced, paired with pleasant outdoor spaces – balconies, a covered terrace, a shaded courtyard, an outdoor corridor and kitchen, and a wooded area. The use of quality materials and the meticulousness of the renovation have helped preserve the typically Corsican character of the building, while allowing for modern aesthetic and functional contributions in terms of finishes and layouts.This description has been automatically translated from French.
