THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE, Nissaki

Beautifully renovated old stone home perched on the side of the hillside in the hamlet of Apolisies, looking down on Nissaki, the sea and Albania beyond.

A sympathetic renovation of the old village school, easily recognized as such by its impressive front door and tall symmetrical windows.

Reached from the roadside parking area by a footpath and flight of stone steps, or from a narrow lane in the other direction, the front door opens into a hallway, from which a door leads into the elegant drawing room with large windows overlooking the view over roof tops to Nissaki. From here there is another door to the old kitchen, simply decorated in Mediterranean style. There is a large storeroom leading from the kitchen which could be included into the main living space if required. Wooden stairs leads from the kitchen up to a huge, split level attic space with windows under the pitch of the roof looking all the way down the coast to the south to Corfu town and beyond.

Back through the drawing room the hallway leads to the Master bedroom and bathroom. Stairs lead up to another bedroom and bathroom.

Outside, on the lower ground level is a self-contained guest flat with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, perfectly situated to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Wherever possible original features have been restored, including the doors, windows, stone flagged floors, etc. The roof has been replaced, and the small garden has been planted with local shrubs and flowers, and paved to make the best use of the available space.

A rare opportunity to move straight into a lovingly cared-for old stone village building.

price: 490,000 euros
