Full Description: A very substantial, spacious family villa, and will appeal to the discerning purchaser who is looking for something in the traditional style but being well built. Purchased by the present owners 5 years ago who now find it too large as family no longer visit. They bought it from the original owner, a designer from Istanbul who insisted on the best quality construction, materials, & fittings. The villa is 260sq m standing on a plot of 640sq m, located in a quiet residential area of Koycegiz – only 15mins easy walk to the lakeside & less to the village centre.
There is a minimum of 5 double bedrooms, another is presently used as a study & workroom + a huge light & airy top (3rd)) floor area, with views to the mountains (the lake is just visible) which would make a wonderful artists studio.
to move into – there are curtains (& shutters for most) for all windows, with
mosquito nets at all doors & windows. The furniture will include 6 singlebeds, 1 double bed, patio & dining tables & chairs, several settees,chairs & occasional tables.
White goods included in the sale are a large fridge/freezer; smaller fridge; smaller freezer; dishwasher; washing machine; 2 cookers.
The villa has the benefit of central heating (oil fired!) and air conditioning to the lounge & 3 upstairs rooms, but because of the wooden verandah which overhangs the ground floor terraces, the interior of the downstairs remains (relatively) cool even in the high summer.
THE GROUND FLOOR
GRANNY/VISITORS ANNEXE
Integral to the house is a completely self contained Annexe situated on the ground floor, at the back of the house, which has its own front door and another door opening onto its terrace. This annexe consists of a large open-plan kitchen- dining- lounge area, with separate bedroom (with 2 single beds, bedside table etc & a fitted wardrobe) & a separate room with
shower/toilet/basin. The living area has full cooker, fridge, TV, dining table & chairs, settee & easy chairs.

The main entrance to the villa is into a vestibule, which accesses a conventional “front door” opening into the hallway. Ahead is the kitchen with quality fitted units and a dining alcove, opening onto a terrace. To the right is a huge lounge area with fireplace & some furnishings. Also on this floor is a toilet with washbasin & an extremely useful under-stairs storage
cupboard.
The annexe takes up the rest of the ground floor.

cabinets + huge built in wardrobes with hanging space, drawers, and storage
cupboards above. Next is another large bedroom, this with 2 single beds & more wardrobe & drawer storage.
