M1261 - (Part-renovated) 8-room stone/modern house, balconies & roof terrace, garage

This two-storey stone/modern house is in a quiet village just 10 minutes from shops and beaches at Kolymbari, and 25 minutes from the bustling Venetian city of Chania. The village has a kafeneion, bakery and mini-market, and has excellent access to the National Highway.

The ground floor of the house was originally a stone building and the first floor was added more recently, we understand around 1960. We believe that the house was part-renovated by the previous owners in the 1970s, then purchased and modernised by the current owners from 2001 onwards. Sadly it was abandoned around 2010, so now needs some repairs, upgrading of electrical and plumbing systems, and general modernisation.

Outside, the ground floor has a spacious covered and railed verandah with access onto the street, entrance hall, kitchen, and steps up to the first floor. Inside, the ground floor comprises: an entrance hall; room #1 (previously a bedroom); shower room with sink, WC and shower; room #2 (previously a living room); and a kitchen.

Steps lead up to the first floor, where externally there is a spacious railed balcony with lovely views of the village and hills beyond, and also a small balcony which houses the central heating boiler. Internally, there is a cosy area which receives the morning sun and could provide a nice office area; an airy living room with nice views; a compact well laid-out kitchen with skylight; a large double bedroom with nice views to the north, and a walk-in dressing room; and a bathroom with WC, sink and shower.

Steps from the first floor balcony lead up to a huge roof terrace, which enjoys beautiful views over the village and rural vistas to the north and east.

Additionally, there is a useful garage/store directly across the road from the house, with parking for one car and plenty of space for storage.

The owners realise that the property needs repairs and modernisation, and they have reduced the price to reflect that. We believe this large property is in an ideal location for peaceful living, with easy access to shops and beaches, and offers a sensible investment for personal accommodation and/or tourist income.
