This simple, whitewashed cottage was built over 100 years ago. It has been renovated and updated to make a comfortable family home but still retains its old world character with its arched windows, ancient shutters and orginal wooden ceilings. It is light and airy, with at least two windows in each bedroom. Two French doors open onto the sun terrace from the open plan living room and kitchen.

The kitchen is newly built with a large fridge freezer. There is also a large shower room containing a washing machine.
