Our house is the biggest on the terrace, you can’t miss the seaside pink we have painted it, or the 200-year olive tree in the front garden. Passers-by often tell us how much they like the look of it.
Between 2009 to 2016 we undertook a complete renovation, and that is not an exaggeration. The roof was completely renewed with all lead flashings, new Rehau double glazed sash windows fitted throughout, new ceilings, doors, floors, walls re-plastered. Complete re-wiring with downlighters in every room, new boiler and radiators everywhere. In 2016 we had the back extended with a new kitchen and first floor bedroom.
Now it is a warm, draught free, well-maintained house with a secluded, trellis covered back patio garden, which in summer, when the Wisteria is out, our friends tell us that it looks like something you see in Interiors Magazine – and it’s low maintenance!
The reason we are moving is because my wife is an artist and needs a bigger studio. We hope it goes to someone who will maintain and love it like we do.
