Description
***CONTRACT SIGNED***
Set on th hillside overloking the village of Gavalohori in an almost secret, secluded setting, this delightful detached character home benefits from over 1,500sqm of stunning, terraced, landscaped gardens and a private pool but is within minutes walk from the centre of the village. The house is almost invisible from the surrounding properties ensuring peace and tranquility for either upmarket holidays or all year round living.
The house comprises:
Access, driveway and first view: Entrance to the property is via a sweeping driveway through mature trees to the paved parking area at the house. The house is in traditional style with huge covered terraces and is covered with brightly coloured climbing plants and geraniums. Though the house is in a protected Cretan style, from certain angles it could almost have a Swiss Chalet feel to it with its verandas & well maintained wood-work. All terraces afford wonderful uninterrupted views of both Souda Bay and the White Mountains.
Gentle steps lead to the front door, then into the large open living area. The wood-panelled vaulted & beamed ceiling provides character to this attractive room as does the highly polished wooden floor. The style throughout the house is traditional, with points of interest, features and layout all designed for family entertaining and pleasurable all year round living.
Kitchen: The kitchen, with its high quality units and appliances, is slightly set apart by an arch from the main seating area, but within close proximity to enable social interaction whilst preparing a meal.
Living room: The comfortable and inviting living room has a large feature corner fireplace which enhances the gable end of the room. Between the two areas is the internal dining space, though summer entertaining is usually carried out on the extensive covered veranda to the front of the house. A marble clad cloakroom W/C conveniently located next to the terrace completes this floor. Multiple windows and glazed doors allow natural light into the living room making this a perfect all year round property.
Lower floor bedrooms: A small staircase leads to the 2 double bedrooms in the main house. Each generously proportioned room has en-suite facilities with classic marble tiling. The guest suite boasts a full sized bath and the master bedroom a shower. Each room also has plentiful storage with floor to ceiling traditional wooden hand crafted fitted wardrobes. They also have access to individual private terraces with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Independent Studio: On the garden level of the house is an independent studio again with plenty of room for double or twin beds, with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room. This is currently in use as an office/computer room so could easily be used for business purposes or a hobbies room if required.
Storage: On this same level are under-house storage rooms housing the wood for the fireplace, BBQ and stoves, garden tools & central heating boiler.
Exterior and gardens: The grounds outside this delightful property are extensive with multiple private seating areas, mature trees and shrubs, different level terraces and a glorious private walled garden hiding away the swimming pool. Immediately outside the house is a fantastic feature threshing circle or Aloni which provides a perfect external and safe BBQ dining area.
One can spend time just meandering round the gardens towards the pool terraces viewing the different sections of garden, some drought loving planting, fruit orchard, scarlet & pink geraniums and palms and the evergreen of the carob and olive trees.
Private Tiled Pool: The mosaic tiled pool is a pretty shape, set in attractive natural stone terraces with plentiful room for sun-beds, parasols and chairs. There is also a tiled pergola covering an external dining area – just the ideal location for summer lunches or evening entertaining. A major bonus of the pool is that it is completely private and sheltered from the occasional Cretan winds.
One of the key features of this property is the secluded location. To ensure that remains the case, the owners of the house have purchased the land immediately in front of their house which is available for sale at an additional cost if required.

Satellite dish and TV aerial
