It is on two floors, the upper floor is 120 m and the lower floor is 130 m. The house was built in 1996. It has a structure of reinforced concrete, built to be as fully resistant to earthquakes as possible. The two floors and the roof space are separated by reinforced concrete slabs. The roof space, accessible via a hatch in the upper hallway, is insulated by two layers of rock-wool. That is very effective in keeping the house cool in summer and warm in winter. The tiled roof is set on robust rafters and beams. From the patio area at the front of the house, one ascends to the upper floor either by the double- stairway to the veranda or by the internal staircase from the lower floor. The- upper floor consists of an open-plan sitting-dining room, semi-open-plan with the large kitchen. There are three bedrooms, along with a bathroom, a cloakroom/t0ilet, and a rear hallway that also acts as a utility room. All the floors are marble. The sitting-dining room has patio doors leading to the verandas. It has a wood burning stove, with a feature marble and granite surround and, outside, a splendid chimney surmounted by a vintage English chimney pot. The kitchen is well equipped with work surfaces, cupboards, drawers and storage space, and ample room for the kitchen table and chairs. The equipment includes an eye-level dual oven and grill, a separate hob with extractor above and a separate modern microwave. There is a modem fridge freezer and a modem dishwasher. The hall/utility contains a washing machine, which, whilst old, works admirably. Two of the three bedrooms on the upper floor are double and one is single. The two double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and patio doors leading directly to the veranda at the front of the house. The bathroom on that floor was recently re-tiled and re-equipped with modem facilities, consisting of a washbasin, toilet and bath with shower over. The lower floor, accessed by a stairway from the hall in the upper floor or by its own door to the patio area in the front of the house, is an open plan sitting-dining area, with space for beds, with a kitchenette, and a large modem bathroom, all floored with modem tiles. The bathroom, equipped quite recently, has a toilet, washbasin, bath and a separate shower. There is also plenty of room in the bathroom, in a separate area with plumbing and electricity, for a washing machine, should one wish to install one there. In addition, on the lower floor, there is an attached garage and a separate workshop/storage area of about 40 square meters currently containing many valuable tools, power tools and gardening equipment. Across the entire front of the house, which faces west, there is a 3m wide covered veranda on the upper floor and an extensive patio at the level of the lower floor. There is a 3m covered veranda at the back of the house.The house is fully air-conditioned, on both floors. All the windows are double-glazed, with aluminum shutters, and they all have fly-screens. There are also fly-screens at all the external doors. The upper floor is also piped for central heating, along with the electrical connections for a boiler and pump, should one decide to install it, but the heating supplied in the winter by the wood burner and the air-conditioning units is such that the present owners have never felt it is necessary to install oil burning central heating. Hot water is supplied by a solar unit or by an electric immersion heater. Whilst the house is wired to German standards, most of the electrical sockets on the upper f
