Una Villa Sul Mare Del XIX Secolo, DI Fronte All'oceano, Sulla Costa Selvaggia E Selvaggia DI Le Croisic

A 19th-century seaside villa, facing the ocean, on the wild and untamed coast of Le Croisic’s peninsula. Along the coastal road, a picket gate, framed by two granite pillars, opens on to a breath-taking view of the villa with the ocean in the background. Behind the gravel courtyard, large enough to park several vehicles, the dwelling stands in the middle of the property, surrounded by the garden and the sea. Near the gate is an inhabitable two-storey outbuilding, while the villa itself was built over two separate periods: its western section dates back to the middle of the 19th century and includes two floors, one of which is under the eaves, while later on, around 1900, the building was flanked to the east by a slightly larger, but considerably taller, extension with three storeys, including one under the eaves.

Built out of rubble stone and covered in light-colour plaster, the villa’s corners are highlighted by toothed ashlar stone quoins, while its symmetrical windows are also framed by ashlar stone and topped with chiselled granite lintels. Topped with a gently sloping hipped roof over the initial construction, which is cadenced on either side by two gable dormer windows, whose wooden structures, decorated with understated mouldings, are painted white, its newer and larger section, crowned with a steeper hipped roof, features roof finials and dormer windows with granite triangular pediments on three of its four sides. These stone dormers, larger in size, not only highlight the extension’s verticality, but give it the look of a tower as well, which emphasises its role as an architectural centrepiece within the villa’s overall composition.
