This delightful property is conveniently located just minutes from a large supermarket complex, 5 minutes drive from 2 pretty medieval towns with all commerce and thriving expat communities, yet is surrounded by pretty countryside and accessible walks.
It has been the family home of the current owners since it was built in the late 60's. The house and grounds have been lovingly, well-maintained but like many properties of this era, the house would benefit from cosmetic enhancements such as a new kitchen and bathrooms. There is a wonderful large living room opening onto a terrace, flooded with natural light from 4 sets of French doors. The property's layout with a ground-floor bedroom, bathroom and second, smaller living room, would lend itself ideally to conversion for accommodation for extended family, or indeed owner-quarters for an income-generating B&B.
It is set in mature grounds, fully enclosed on all sides, so would be suitable for keeping animals. The plot is flat and there is ample space to add a pool. There is an immaculate, long, in-and-out driveway and 2 sets of electric, remote-controlled gates and also a large, detached garage/workshop.
Overall, this property would make an ideal holiday home or permanent home as it stands, but could be further enhanced with relatively small-scale cosmetic improvements. It's location and layout make it highly suitable to be run as a B&B.
