The paved driveway will lead to a turn-round area with a fish pond in front of the elegant front porch.
Style notes : The developers have a successful track record in this area of producing elegant up-market Provencale villas with a contemporary twist. Their hallmarks are : · Create spacious light & airy interiors with plenty of easy access out into the garden & pool areas. · Retain and enhance character features like exposed stone walls, timber beams, pantile roofs, genoises, etc. · The use of rich natural materials like stone tile floors and limed woodwork & joinery. · Invisible climate control, like under-floor heating & cooling. · Spacious modern open-plan kitchens with top-of-the-range appliances, fittings & units. · Roomy modern bathrooms with top-of-the-range sanitaryware, taps & fittings.
Ajoining the property is another plot of land : 2500m² with building permission available, at a price of 500,000. If a buyer of the villa also wished to acquire the adjacent plot of land the vendor would consider a substantial discount on this price.
