Full Description
Characterful Four-Bedroom Detached House with Private Terraces, Garden and Garage
This detached house combines exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings and timber features with modern heating and solar energy systems.
Private terrace overlook the garden and woodland, with views towards the sea on clear days, while a substantial garage/workshop and several additional rooms provide additional space.
A gated entrance terrace leads through a small glazed porch into the main living room. Measuring approximately 6.3 × 4.8 metres, this generous space features tiled flooring and exposed stone, ceiling fans and a 6 kW wood-burning stove. A large window looks onto the rear terrace and woods.
The fitted kitchen has double wooden doors opening directly onto the rear terrace, making outdoor dining easy. An air source heat pump supplies heating and air conditioning through convector units.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. A main bedroom has an archway leading into its own sitting room, where an exposed wooden ceiling adds character. Windows on either side bring in natural light with views over the garden and woodland towards the distant sea. The hallway leads to a second bedroom and a bathroom.
A few steps from the hallway is the attic accommodation made into a cosy bedroom and sitting room, with stone floors and walls, exposed timber ceilings, a round window and a skylight.
From the main lounge, the guest suite offers a further bedroom, a shower room and a sitting room with a renovated vaulted ceiling and a 3 kW wood-burning stove.
Below the main living accommodation, a stone cantina has direct access to the side garden and connects another three stone vaulted rooms.
Outdoor Living
The private L-shaped rear terrace is not overlooked and enjoys views over the lower garden and surrounding woods. A fixed gazebo measuring approximately 3 × 4 metres provides a sheltered setting for dining, with further space for seating and a barbecue.
Steps lead to another patio and garden area with fruit trees and a garden shed. A utility room accessed from the terrace houses the washing machine and dishwasher.
The land below the house includes mature walnut and hazelnut trees, an area laid out for growing vegetables and space to sit outdoors. Water collection systems and storage butts supply water for garden use.
Garage, Workshop and Storage
The large garage/workshop measures approximately 5.4 × 7.5 metres and includes a workbench, shelving, wood stores and a sink.
Beyond it are a substantial room beneath the rear terrace, a lower stone cantina with a vaulted ceiling, and a former animal room retaining its original feeding trough. The lower cantina connects internally to the house, while the former animal room has access to the garden. Additional outdoor storage includes a small outhouse with a new roof.
