For sale in the desirable village of Plaka: This is a very rare opportunity to own a traditionally-styled stone house within minutes walk of the village square & also within walking distance of the beach at Almerida. This 3 bedroom house was fully renovated approximately 12 years ago, with the private pool being added about 3 years later.

Gated entrance and courtyard: The front courtyard is hidden away behind a wooden arched door. A boundary wall provides privacy and there is a small garden to the right of the gate. The large sterna is a feature in this area which precedes the pool and terraces. A stone utility store room is immediately next to the garden on the right and the house is to the left.

House – ground floor: The wooden double front door offers access to the main room which is “L” shaped with traditional corner fire place and patio doors to the rear terrace and pool. Centrally in the room is a wooden staircase which rises to the 1st floor. The foot of the “L” is separated from the main room by a stone arch and is used as an internal dining area.

Ground floor bathroom: The spacious bathroom is to the left of the dining area. Tiled in blue and white, there is a full-sized bath-tub and ceramic fittings in classic white with the bonus of a separate tiled shower.

Bedroom 1: Linked to the dining area at the furthest point of the house is the double bedroom with windows that look out to the pool.

Kitchen: Returning to the front door, to the left is a traditional arch shaped kitchen. This is “U” shaped and fitted with light-oak wood-effect floor & wall units with contrasting work surfaces. A stable door provides access to the front courtyard and additional natural light is supplied by the large kitchen window.

1st Floor: From the small landing at the top of the stairs are access to the large shower room to the left, plus the other 2 bedrooms.

Bedroom 2: This extremely spacious room is immediately in front at the top of the stairs. Patio doors provide access to the 1st floor terrace and 2 picture windows look down to the pool area and across the village to the sea. The half-pitched ceiling enhances the space in the room which easily accommodates a wardrobe plus a double or king-size bed with sufficient room for a bed settee or childs bed.

Bedroom 3: This is to the right of the landing & can accommodate twin or double bed. Alternatively, it would be a superb office/TV room with its private terrace

1st floor shower room: From the landing to the left is the generous shower room, tiled in the same blue and white as the ground floor bathroom. The shower is wet-room style without a shower tray and the hand-basin and toilet are in classic white ceramic.

Rear courtyard and pool: The main courtyard and pool area is protected from Cretan breezes by the walls on 3 sides. The good-sized pool is surrounded by sun terraces. The slightly raised terrace immediately next to the house is large enough for chairs and a table for outside dining and is bordered by secure railings with gate to prevent any pool related accidents.

Utility store room: This is a good-sized area that currently houses the central heating boiler plus the washing machine and laundry items. However, it would be possible to divide the room to make into a more useful space such as workshop, if needed.
