Layout

Entrance to this property is through attractive double wooden gates, leading into a very spacious, fully enclosed, stone-paved courtyard.

Just inside the gates are built in utility cupboards providing a handy space for brooms and buckets, plus a separate set of smaller cupboards for gas bottles.

Up stone steps, the front of the courtyard is flanked by two single storey buildings. The right hand one is one of the original buildings dating back approximately 150 years and is now a well equipped kitchen/diner with double sink, dishwasher, oven and gas hob. The attractive kitchen units are all made from good quality pine and provide plenty of storage. In the diner end of the room is a working fire place with a mantel and the ceiling has the original beams with plaster between. A shuttered window looks out to the outside covered dining area and has an A/C over.

The opposite building houses a generous shower room with sink and toilet which is also currently used as a utility room. The adjacent room is tiled, with a wall of fitted cupboards and is currently being used as an office, but could be used as a single 3 rd, bedroom

The two buildings have a mature grapevine growing between them which provide another area of shade in the summer.

Outside, at the end of the kitchen is the raised, covered area for al fresco dining looking out across the courtyard.

Situated at the far end of the courtyard, facing the gates is the main building, the bottom part of which is also one of the original buildings. Entrance is through a beautiful stone-arched doorway into an entrance hall with original stone flagged floor which runs throughout the ground floor.

To the right, through double doors is the main master bedroom which is a good sized double room with a generous en-suite shower room and toilet. The bedroom window over looks fields and orchards to the rear of the property.

Opposite is the second double bedroom which is also of a good size. The window of this room overlooks the courtyard. Both bedrooms have a wall mounted cupboard, A/Cs and ceiling fans.

From the hall a spiral staircase ascends to an airy living room. This double aspect room has light, pine wood flooring and a high sloped ceiling. In the far corner is a wood burning stove providing a homely touch to a contemporary feeling room. There is a storage area with fridge to one end of this room. A/C and ceiling fan.

Double half-glazed doors open out onto a covered, stone paved balcony running the length of the building and overlooking the courtyard. Wall mounted lanterns and a widened area for table and chairs. The outside walls of this building have the occasional hand-painted tiles and plates set into it, some of which are antique, which add an effective artistic flair. Stone-paved steps lead down the side of the property, back to the courtyard.

Outside

The courtyard is spacious and barely over-looked. It has a raised bed down one side with mature shrubs and an unusual square raised bed filled with herbs (rosemary and sage) and a small lemon tree. Around the outside of the courtyard are storage sheds and cupboards of various sizes. There is plenty of outside lighting.

Covered parking for 2 cars is available for use directly opposite the entrance gates.
