Old stone house in terrace of three in (Pelekito) tiny hamlet near the sea – North East coast. 80m2 consisting: spacious open plan kitchen living room, separate bathroom, two bedrooms. Traditional features. Very peaceful countryside location. Short walk to Spiridon bay and Perithia Village. In need of some re-design and modernization. Water and Electricity connected. Asking price: 55.000
This charming little two up - two down terraced house has been well maintained over the years and modernized to basic standards. It lends itself perfectly to a sympathetic renovation program (our designer can provide idea’s drawings and floor plans specifically for this project, should you require this service) At present the rooms are divided into one large ground level living area and bathroom, with wooden staircase to the two bedrooms above. Original features include: heavy red cypress wood beams, supporting attractive wooden board ceilings (currently hidden beneath hardboard covering) forming the floors on the upper level. Wooden corner staircase. Windows and external doors set in roughly hewn marble surrounds. Windows recessed with their original folding wooden shutters and paneled doors of heavy wood. A tiny garden area fronts the property: gated and fenced and planted with one Clementine and one lemon tree – the traditional place for relaxing in the shade on warm days. The property is in a very tranquil cul-de-sac location amidst twelve or so other traditional houses. The external walls are in natural stone and would benefit from re-pointing – one of the other houses in this little hamlet has greatly benefited from this procedure carried out by skilled craftsmen working for our company. The surrounding area is olive grove and indigenous woodland where a footpath leads to the nearest beach. Agios Spyridon beach is a ten minute walk – two minute drive. This lovely sandy bay; made famous by Gerald Durrell in his book “My family and other animals has changed very little and the “White sand lilies” still appear in the dunes above the beach every year. These days the bay is a low key resort offering a few sunbeds, a café snack bar and the archetypal “Shirley Valentine fish Taverna on beach. Beyond the bay; a tiny bridge takes you to a coastal path passing a nature reserve and natural salt lake to two secluded little beaches – one sandy with very shallow water perfect for children, and another of soft shingle with a very deep shoreline – this beach is a swimmers and au-naturelle sun-soakers paradise. Further along the rugged coast path, a narrow bridge crosses the river inlet to the lake and on to Almiros, and seven kilomtres of very peacefull sandy beach leading finally to Acharavi beach resort and all the way to Roda – this little house is set in an ideal location for walkers and lovers of nature who appreciate the Traditionsal Greek life away from modern development and intense tourism. Recommended.
