The basement runs from down from the hall staircase to the central heating room, utility room & a cinema room. In front of the house is the 10mx5m pool, with a landscaped area & fully equipped pergola.
The double garage has been built with the facility to convert to another seperate annex/apartment at a later stage (water, electriciy & drainage already installed); the driveway has also been fully landscaped, leading to the entrance to Carob Trees.The house has its own fully tested water supply/well, and solar heating for your hot water.
The gardens extend beyond a terrace to the rear of the house; here, a small secluded meadow is surrounded by huge pine trees.At night, the lack of ambient light means you are treated to a magnificent show of stars, with the Milky Way crossing right above you.
On a financial note, the advent of A-Day in April 2006 means you could place this property into a SIPP pension plan, and there is much talk in Cyrpus of the financial gains to be made from the introduction of the Euro. An important aspect of this house is that construction began prior to the introduction of VAT, so this is NOT due on this property.
