GARDEN VILLA, Barbati

This is one of the most well presented and designed villas we have seen. Hidden away in the olive groves above Barbati, it is barely visible from the road and so enjoys both privacy and the convenience of this ever-popular family resort. Its elevated position means that it has wonderful views over the sea towards Corfu town, and across the top of the resort below.

A sloping driveway leads through mature shrubs to the villa below. A few steps take us into the welcoming porchway and entrance halll, and through here into the open plan living/kitchen area. The living room is spacious, having a very simply designed fireplace and a wood-topped bar separating it from the light and airy kitchen/dining area. Both areas have large patio windows leading out onto spacious covered terraces and a built-in shady seating area near to the kitchen. A useful study area is fitted conveniently into the area below the curve of the staircase, making maximum use of space.

The marble staircase leads up to a light and sunny landing with a roomy bathroom and two double bedrooms, one at each end of the house. Both rooms have balcony doors to take in the view and lead onto the large terrace which has an even better view than downstairs.

In addition to the main accommodation, on the lower level of the villa is a large room with separate entrance, currently used as a craft workshop. At the rear of the room is a utility area which houses the central heating system.

The gardens surrounding the villa have been thoughtfully and cleverly laid out with plenty of mature shrubs and stone pathways leading to secluded areas. Fruit trees in abundance, grapevines and vegetable plots make this a gardener's dream.

Due to the large plot of land inside the town planning boundaries, it is possible to gain planning permission for a further building to the side of this villa.

price: 725,000 euros
