LOCATION. The house is at the western tip of the pointe de Penmarch, in a village known as St. Pierre, and its distance to the lighthouse is 379m (exactly!). There are small shops nearby, bigger ones in St. Guénolé, a couple of supermarkets and quite an important open air market on Friday mornings. The bar/tabac/bread shop/.general store (all round shopping) is just across the road from the house. Lovely baguettes. They still sell chunks of butter cut from a huge slab – delicious!

 

 THE HOUSE is a typical Breton village house, very well built in 1934 (and completely refurbished to a very high standard in the winter of 1984/85), with a walled southern garden (with a barbecue in one corner).

 

 GROUND FLOOR. Thre is a large open plan dining/sitting room with a metered telephone, TV and video and radio cassette player, which leads through French windows to the spacious double glazed verandah set on the southern elevation – you can bask, sunbathe here despite any otherwise inconvenient breezes. The verandah is big enough to play table tennis in. We of course provide an all weather table and racquets. The kitchen/breakfast room is extremely well equipped, with all the appliances you might need : electric deep fryer, pulsated heat oven, gas four ring cooker, big fridge/freezer, large efficient dishwasher, Kenwood Chef complete, electric coffee maker and grinder, toaster, herb chopper, electric fruit squeezer, microwave oven and automatic washing machine. Also on the ground floor there is a WC with hand basin.

 

 FIRST FLOOR On this floor there are two large bedrooms, each with a double bed. Also a separate WC, a large bathroom with bath and shower attachment, bidet, basin and a razor socket. There is a third bedroom (in fact a few steps down) – known as the dormitory, which contains modular furniture devised to sleep five people but which, when not required, can convert into chairs, sofas, etc. It is a large room which easily accommodates its five, or if the beds are not in use, has plenty of space to double up as a kids playroom.

 

 TOP FLOOR. Two more bedrooms, one facing south, the other north, each with a view of the sea, to the two different sides of Penmarch point. Also on this floor, a second bathroom, again with a bath, shower attachment, basin and WC. One of the bedrooms has a double and single bed, while the other has two single beds.
