Paleloni, Crete 73008

This is a beautifully renovated, village house consisting of the main house plus a studio, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, off road parking and garden. Unusually for a house in the village, it is detached, with high boundary walls giving a private courtyard feel to the garden for both peace and privacy. The layout, as per the original plan, offers rooms with flexible usage. Main house: From the covered terrace there are 2 entrances into the L shaped building with interconnecting rooms. The first entrance leads to the fitted kitchen with original oven alcove. Through the kitchen is the room currently used as a dining area. At the end is an office space. Off the dining room is the spacious double height lounge with second entrance door back to the terrace. The bathroom at the far end of this room is elevated and the double bedroom is on the mezzanine level. Studio: At the side of the main house but accessed by a totally separate entrance is the studio with sleeping area to the left and a lounge opposite. The bathroom is to the left behind the sleeping area, and opposite is a storage space that can be easily converted to a kitchen. Storage: From the main entrance there are two storage rooms either side. Under the stairs to the roof terrace, the old wine press is now used as a boiler room for the heating equipment. Outside: There is off road parking to the side of the house, and also a pedestrian entrance through a large archway. The garden is filled with mature plants to create a lush green area, with seating and dining options throughout. The large covered terrace at the front of the main house is perfect for outdoor dining, with the stone Bbq set to the side. To the side of the studio is a jacuzzi tub. Stairs above the boiler room lead to the roof terrace with open views of the mountain and village. Location: Paleloni is a quiet village that has escaped the development boom close by, giving a tranquil step back in time feel. However the sandy beaches and larger towns are withing a 15 minute drive away, Chania airport is 45 minutes drive. If you have wondered what is hidden behind those brightly coloured arched gates we invite you to step inside to discover this period property, the original building is over 170 years old. So many original features have been lovingly preserved to create a unique home, ideal for a character holiday rental or long term home with separate workspace or studio.
