luxury villa with sea view for sale Fouesnant, France

In a highly sought-after part of Fouesnant, this late nineteenth-century residence enjoys one of the most desirable settings on the southern Finistère coast. Built of local stone beneath a slate roof, the house offers approximately 200 sqm. It has come down through the years unspoilt, retaining its original materials: wooden floors, panelling and wainscoting, a timber staircase and a fireplace. The ground floor is arranged around an entrance hall and a corridor leading to two sitting rooms, two dining rooms, a kitchen and two pantries. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, a cloakroom and a separate WC. An attic crowns the whole. A stone outbuilding of approximately 120 sqm completes the property. It houses a garage and a store room on the ground floor, three rooms on the first floor and an attic above. In need of complete renovation, it offers rare potential: a guest house, a studio or additional living space, subject to planning consent. A further garage, a boiler room and a utility store complete the outbuildings. The garden extends to nearly 2,350 sqm in a single parcel. A plot of this size so close to the shore has become exceptional in this area, where land near the sea is now largely built up. The property is offered in its present condition and calls for full renovation, which will bring out its character while adapting it to modern standards. It falls within neither the coastal flooding risk prevention plan nor the coastal erosion plan. The nearby coastline combines sheltered coves, the coastal path and a tidal harbour, some twenty kilometres from Quimper and its TGV station. A family property to reimagine, on one of the finest headlands in Cornouaille. Price: €1,837,500, including agency fees payable by the vendor “Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr”
