Contemporary loft under the eaves of an old port building

It is in a wide valley protected by the high cliffs of the Pays de Caux that the town of Fécamp has found refuge.

Famous for its fishing port marked by the harsh history of Terre-Neuvas, this maritime city always faces the winds and sea spray with determination.

Thus, near the quays, it is sometimes possible to find large port buildings cleverly converted into living spaces. It is on the third and last floor of one of them that nestles this loft with undeniable assets, with a surface area of 135 m2 Carrez but more than 190 m2 on the ground!

Behind the building’s somewhat austere high door hides an adorable courtyard capturing the changing and fleeting light of this coastal town.
But the real surprise comes when you enter the apartment.
The charm operates immediately.

Beyond the entrance welcoming an industrial-inspired cloakroom and an independent toilet, a superb 75 m2 living room, all dressed in white, offers a beautiful light.
The contemporary atmosphere of the place remains, however, imprinted with the history of the building when the gaze escapes through the exposed framework, towards the afloat basins and the ships at the quayside.
The elegant fitted and equipped kitchen, facing the dining area with its pellet stove, benefits from the slightest ray of sunshine thanks to its glass walls, facing due south.
Ideal for a little gourmet break facing the outlines of the port and the city!

However, this spacious open-plan volume still manages to offer a cozy atmosphere to the living room, judiciously placed under the 11 m2 mezzanine. Accessible by a metal staircase of the most beautiful effect, the latter is currently used as an office and reading space, in this period of teleworking.
But with the shower room discreetly housed in the attic, it can naturally be transformed into an additional bedroom.
The other two bedrooms of the apartment share a comfortable bathroom, also equipped with a beautiful shower flooded with light through the roof window.
A dressing room, a second independent toilet as well as a linen room with water inlet and outlet optimize the functionality of this loft. But the icing on the cake is undoubtedly this astonishing little loggia, both convivial and intimate, closed by simple sliding windows, allowing to fully enjoy the sea air and the setting sun.

To complete the whole, two parking spaces with private access avoid any parking problem and a room of about fifteen m2 on the ground floor, dedicated to the apartment, can be used to store two wheels as well as everything. other bulky equipment.

This original place of life, located 1200 m from the beach, close to the city center and in the immediate vicinity of the marina represents a unique opportunity to realize an invigorating project on the Normandy coast, while keeping easy access to the Paris region by road or by train.
Happiness is sometimes as simple as a loft by the sea!
