On the left of the drive a path leads to a paved terrace which then gives way to a large garage 32m2 garage providing space for parking and storage. The garage could easily be converted to create a self contained apartment if necessary. From the terrace a marble paved pathway leads to a large fenced garden planted with almond trees and mature grape vines.

On the left double doors open into a large and bright sun room / second living room with doors leading out to a lovely private pool area with a 5x2m pool, large sun terrace and outstanding views. (The terrace needs maintenance as a lot of the tiles have been removed and others are beginning to lift but this wouldn?t be a costly job and we can recommend local builders). The sun room also provides access to a cloak room and also benefits from doors out to a smaller terrace which offers outstanding far reaching views.

From the main living room a door opens into an inner hall with a bedroom on either side both with en-suites. The hall then leads into a large kitchen diner with a door opening into a lovely bright living room with a feature fireplace housing a log burner and doors leading out to the pool area.
