The Tour

The entrance to the house is through double wooden blue gates which lead into the delightful, first-level, private courtyard cosseted by high walls. Here there is a well-established garden, original stone walls and a covered sitting area with awning.

Entering the main house reveals an open-plan living space. Here is the dining room and the kitchen both decorated in the traditional style. Some of the features are: a Marmara stone floor, original external walls of 80 cms width and wooden shutters. The kitchen area to the right has Cypriot handmade fitted pine units, a sandstone sink, fitted electric oven/gas hob, a double-fridge, an extractor unit and original tiles as a back decorative motif. Below the kitchen, a staircase leads into a cool cellar of 20m2. A door in the cellar opens to the lower street level. Very easy for parking and convenient for bringing in the shopping. The cellar offers good storage and is the perfect wine cellar.

 To the left is a spacious dining area with a decorative, caste iron wood burner for heating.

Ahead is a large built-in, comfortable sitting area with a working fireplace, TV and telephone. The perfect place to relax and entertain.

Continuing on to the left is a spacious library, study and office area with telephone and separate line for a computer. There are fitted bookshelves in patina pinewood, radio aerial, wall and ceiling lamps.

Adjacent to living area and bedroom is a traditionally decorated bathroom of 8m2. Featuring old Cypriot doors, bath, fitted bathroom cabinet with basin and a storage cupboard.

In the far wall of the office/library area is a character staircase, which gives access to the light and spacious master bedroom (16m2). Master Bedroom features include a wooden floor, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobe units in patina pine. French doors lead directly into the to beautiful second level courtyard.

On entering the second-level courtyard (which can also be accessed from the first- level courtyard) there is a decorative stone staircase to the left, with iron hand rails and a perpetual, relaxing water feature. Her also is a storage room for firewood, a traditional Cypriot oven and many Mediterranean plants. The original metal frame  supports the grape vine and a profusion of bougainvillea.

To the right are traditional blue shutters and a rare, antique blue door which leads to a delightful double bedroom with A/C - originally the old stable!

Moving on up the stone staircase leads into an independent apartment featuring a wide covered balcony with canopy. The balcony enjoys wonderful panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and Paphos coastline from St Georges to Paphos Town. The accommodation consists of a spacious living room and bedroom area with an antique Cypriot wrought iron bed and an open fireplace. Other features include a fitted kitchen, a separate shower/bathroom with w.c., double-glazed windows and patio doors, decorative wood ceiling, TV, satellite system and ceiling fan. The apartment has a romantic atmosphere. This part of the property currently generates an excellent regular income for holiday rentals.

Retracing steps down the staircase and back to the second-level courtyard: passing through a character arch in the far wall, reveals a very charming covered dining area. Old tiles and old round beams feature here, with an traditional Cypriot stone sink. 

A small set of white steps leads to another level and the private, dark blue swimming pool (8x4m) as well as the pretty garden. The surrounding of the pool is completely paved, offering ample space for sunbeds and parasols. This area is also totally private. Various stone walls add even more interest. The well-stocked garden has fruit trees, lemon, nectarine, orange, apple, avocado and olive. There is an automatic light for the garden area and the pool. An irrigation system looks after the plants. A staircase at the end of the garden leads to a set of double blue gates, providing a further entrance and exit for the house.

Not finished yet! This level also offers another wonderful little sitting area situated outside the Summer House. In one direction, The Summer House overlooks the pool and garden areas. It is an independent studio, perfect for visiting friends or family. The Summer House features a fully equipped kitchen, sitting area, TV, ceiling fan, bathroom with shower and w.c. (the bathroom is attractively decorated with mosaic tiles). Again much thought has gone into the decoration, with wooden windows and a panelled, patina ceiling. The Summer House also enjoys a pretty view over the bougainvilleas and across the first-level courtyard and onwards to the sea.
