Highly
recommended and a bargain price !!
A stunning
Villa of quality that can only be understood by those that are prepared
to view. Built of granite stone by master craftsmen , and even the
attic has polished flooring !!
Set in the midst of approx 1200 sq. mts of formal gardens and patios
, the villa commands excellent views across the small town below and
onward to the surrounding hills.
Through double driveway gates , the terracotta paving leads up to
a large parking area with garaging of 77 sq mts. To the rear of the
property is a serene courtyard area for barbecues and outdoor entertaining.
At both ends of the courtyard , steps lead up to the upper sun decks
and the rear vehicular access. At the extremity of the terrace are
dog compounds and animal housing.
The villa accommodation is entered at the front through polished wood
double doors leading into the main lounge , quality flooring and drapes
compliment this beautiful room that hosts a wood burning fireplace.
A hall connects the 2 luxury bedrooms , bathroom and the dining room.
Arched doors lead into the dainty kitchen and servery. Where once
smoke spiraled from the hearth of the Inglenook fireplace , a staircase
now carries you aloft to the enormous attic. Approximately 123 sq.mts
of polished wood lay in wait for a creative pastime. Alternatively
an exterior staircase could be installed and the attic split to provide
2 bedrooms en-suite.
The kitchen door leads out onto the rear courtyard and from here there
are exterior steps to the servants kitchen/diner. An upper mezzanine
floor boasts TWO billiard tables with refreshment bar. Below is the
old adega housing the wine store and water tanks. There are further
loft and storage area above. These areas combined could easily offer
a self contained granny annex or further holiday accommodation. The
property is centrally heated. Some of the furniture and drapes are
included within the price. A swimming pool will easily fit into the
upper terrace or the lower lawns. Highly recommended and a bargain
price.
Within 2 mins walk is a town with a central
plaza , restaurants and bars are adjacent . A river runs at the side
