Description complète
Have you ever wondered, as you walk through a village in Crete, what might lie behind those tall stone walls and wooden archways…?
Step inside and you will discover this period property (main house plus studio) – a living piece of history, the original building is over 170 years ago which included a wine press! So many original features have been lovingly preserved to create a unique home, ideal for a character holiday rental or long term home with workspace. Unusually, this village house is detached, with high boundary walls giving a courtyard feel to the garden you have both peace and privacy here. The layout, as per the traditional plan, offers rooms with flexible usage.
From the covered terrace there are 2 entrances into the L shaped building. The first entrance leads to the fitted kitchen with original oven alcove. Through the kitchen is the room currently used as a dining area. At the end of this part is an office space. Off the dining room is the spacious double height lounge with door to the terrace. The bathroom at the far end of this room is elevated and the double bedroom is on the mezzanine level.
There is a studio at the side of the main house but accessed by a totally separate entrance is the studio with sleeping area to the left, lounge opposite. The bathroom is to the left behind the sleeping area, and opposite is a storage space that can be easily converted to a kitchen.
From the main entrance there are two storage rooms either side. Under the stairs to the roof terrace, the old wine press is now used as a boiler room for the heating equipment.
The garden is filled with mature plants to create a lush green area, with seating and dining options throughout. The large covered terrace at the front of the main house is perfect for outdoor dining, with the stone BBQ set to the side. To the side of the studio is a jacuzzi tub. Stairs above the boiler room lead to the roof terrace with open views of the mountain and village.
Paleloni is a quiet village that has escaped the development boom close by, giving a tranquil ‘step back in time’ feel. However, the sandy beaches and larger towns are withing a 15-minute drive away, Chania airport is 45-minutes drive.
This property will perfectly suit those who appreciate the traditional Cretan style and character, and wish to live in a quiet area not too far from the beach and amenities of neighbouring villages.
