There is plenty of space at the front of the house for 4-5 cars and has a garage, with a mezzanine for additional storage, to the right-hand side. The gardens open up on the left-hand side instantly drawing us to the Labyrinth circle- could also be a great base for an above ground pool.

Entering the house into the entrance hallway through the UVPC door, we have the family bathroom to the left, with access to the properties own well – which could offer off grid water supply, master bedroom in front and two further double bedrooms with ground floor kitchen to the right. This is the first very interesting feature as this part of the house could offer an annex or BNB opportunities as also boasts a lounge and further bathroom with walk in shower.

The ground floor kitchen is fully fitted with wall and floor cupboards, shelving, separate boiler, range cooker, external door leading to the driveway with a UVPC window to the west. The annex is fitted with central heating - wall fitted oil filled radiators throughout.

The opposite end of the lounge there is a Juliette balcony. The lounge has a log burner fitted in the middle with surrounding hearth, perfect for enjoying our winter evenings.

The outside areas have been thoughtfully planned offering pathed walkways to the patios, the Labyrinth circle, established planting including olive and almond trees, Dame Noche, cherry, apple, pear & apricot trees. The ‘sitoutary’ is the perfect room to enjoy the garden views, this additional lounge room offers built in seating, tall windows to the east, additional UVPC window the south with sliding patio doors to the north.
