The house was built to the owners design in 1994 with an extension being added in 1998.

It has wonderful views to the islands of Two Brothers and to the island of Peristera also from a different aspect of the house are views across the village of Votsi towards the Old Village.

It is situated on the outer edge of the village of Votsi and accessed along a dirt road. The property has a garage to the front of the property and access steps to a side entrance. This access could be improved by having a driveway made up to the house and moving the garage likewise.

The house has mains water, electricity and a backup system of gas bottles. It is heated by oil fired central heating and has the benefit of a wood burning stove for winter months which also drives the central heating system to reduce running costs. The present owners are also in the process of installing solar panels and this should soon be fully operational. There are two large under house storage areas. The house has white UPVC exterior doors and windows mostly with fitted mosquito screens and the interior doors are painted a very attractive duck blue shade. The ground floor has mostly plaka floors and the upper floor has ceramic floors.

Outside

The rear balcony has lovely views and, in my opinion, the best views but is not presently fully utilised. There is a small storage area underneath the steps which lead up to another roof area with views over the whole area. The clear sea views from this terrace look over the sea to Two Brothers and Peristera Islands. It must be said there is also our island emergency helipad in this area but this is rarely used, is not lit at night and guarantees the clear sea views.

The garden of the property has pomegranate, almond, apricot, lemon and oranges. There are also many plants and shrubs including jasmine, rose, honeysuckle, bay, wisteria, bougainvillea and other. The remainder of the garden area is shingled.
