Crete, Chania, Gavalohori, Greece

This is a beautifully, part restored, property in Gavalohori - retaining many original features and set within its own very private courtyard.

There are flagged stone and wooden floors, beamed ceilings, an original fireplace, bread oven, a sterna (well) and many, many more features in this wonderful property.

This is a lovely dwelling with scope for further improvement. It is sold with a separate plot and with additional buildings for guests.

This is a wonderful, part-renovated house located in the centre of the historical village of Gavalohori.  The house is entered through a large arched wooden doorway into a secluded and paved courtyard. Here you will find the original well (sterna) built in stone, seating  - and an outhouse for storage.

From the courtyard, a main door leads into a spacious and light living room with stone flagged floor, original wooden ceiling beams, wooden windows and shutters and wall lights. Leading on from here you reach a small study area  - with fitted shelves and a wall light.

The kitchen has been mainly kept in its original state  - with a fireplace and bread oven.  To the left of this is the renovated bathroom.

A wooden staircase leads to the upper level and the extremely spacious main bedroom with wooden floors and ceiling beams, wooden windows and shutters.  This room overlooks the courtyard and has two doors which lead out to two separate terraces. One giving splendid views over the village towards Souda Bay and the other with views of the White Mountains.

There is a lot of scope for extension and further development with this property. It  is sold together with a ‘double’ plot which is just a short walk from the main residence.  The plot is 670 M² in size and on it, sit 2 small converted barns and a further building requiring renovation.  Both plots have building permission for 240 M2.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a home within the very heart of the village  - which also has further scope for  renovation and improvement.
