IRH-14 3-BEDROOM STONE HOUSE WITH CHARACTER, COURTYARD AND UPPER TERRACE FOR SALE, CRETE

An opportunity to purchase a delightful home from home in a Cretan mountain village with the opportunity to establish a walking tourism business.
This 250 year old, stone-built house in the heart of a living village was lovingly restored by long term residents. Many of the original features have been maintained and the property prepared for comfortable modern living. The property is 207 m 2 and consists of 3 buildings (a total of 202 m 2 ) surrounding a pretty, private courtyard 45 m 2 with an original bread oven built into the wall.
There is an established, productive lemon tree, loquat tree and fragrant bitter orange tree excellent for making marmalade. This prestigious property house used to be the village olive oil factory and the outdoor oven served as bakery for the local residents. The main house has an open plan living room/kitchen with fridge/freezer, modern gas stove/oven and fitted cupboards. The large bathroom has a fitted bath/shower and a large washing machine.
Upstairs is the main bedroom with broad cedar floor and ceiling boards and a generous built-in wardrobe and storage units. Off this room is a large balcony over the living room/kitchen with a grape arbor supporting a number of well-established, productive grape vines.
Downstairs a second double bedroom is currently used as a library. Across the courtyard is the original kitchen, now a pretty guest double bedroom with air conditioner/heater unit. Next to the guest bedroom is a large workshop and store room (58.5 m 2 ) accessed from the courtyard and also through double doors from the street. This could easily be converted into a self-contained studio for rental income or opened up for secure parking. A large flat roof over the workshop is an excellent sun trap.
The property is on mains electricity, water and drainage, and has a telephone line and satellite television installed. In addition to the solar panels for hot water, there is an immersion heater installed for the very rare occasions when the sun doesn’t shine. A cool village house retreat with a colourful and relaxing courtyard and plenty of outside space for sun bathing or just chilling out.
