GROUND FLOOR: Entrance driveway parking with a wooden gate opening onto the shady, pergola-covered front veranda with glass sliding doors opening into the dining/kitchen area. The front entrance door is on the opposite side of the house with entrance straight into the living room. The living room has a traditional wood-burning stove and is open-plan with the kitchen/dining area with a wooden door into the ground floor shower room. There is a convenient storage space under the staircase. Sliding doors open from the spacious and airy living room onto a veranda which joins to the larger front entrance veranda facing the swimming pool.

The garden all round is very private and the pool is not overlooked at all from the road or other houses.

UPSTAIRS: Two spacious bedrooms and family bathroom with tub & fitted shower is located just off from the staircase landing between the bedrooms. Each bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own private balcony with superb views over village houses, lush countryside to the majestic White Mountains and the distant sea.

There are tiles laid all round the 25m2 swimming pool with some graveled & tiled areas to the opposite side of the house where the front entrance door is located.
