Polis, Paphos, Cyprus

This outstanding 3 bedroom stone built penthouse apartment, located in Polis village square, was originally built in the early part of the 20th century and was renovated with great imagination 20 years ago. TITLE DEEDS.

The advantage of a stone built property with its very thick walls is that it retains heat during the less warm months of the year and keeps cooler during the summer.

Offering lovely views over Polis town centre towards the foothills of the Troodos mountains to the east, and stunning views to the distant hills of Droushia and over the Akamas Peninsular to the west, much of the original style remains giving this property so much more character than the average apartment.

Polis square is an upmarket shopping and entertainment area famous for its quaint architecture and boasts numerous restaurants and traditional family run shops. Banks and supermarkets are within easy walking distance as are computer shops, mobile phone centre, and the electricity headquarters. Polis beach can be reached easily after a 15 minutes walk.

The apartment is approached up a flight of stairs to a west facing veranda which is exclusive for the use of the owners of this delightful property. Imagine sitting here on a summer's evening watching the sun set in the west in a myriad of sensational colours whilst enjoying a glass of chilled locally produced Cyprus wine.

Once through the front door we come to a generously sized vestibule/entrance hall complete with chairs and settee- again very unusual for an apartment.

To the left of this hallway is the very generously sized kitchen complete with a copious number of drawers and cupboard space as well as an in built NEFF oven and 5 ring gas hob.

From the kitchen we come back into the vestibule and then turn left into the very large lounge area.

With sliding doors leading directly to the delightful balcony, the focal point of this lovely room is the fully functioning fireplace surrounded by classic stone design.

One of the many advantages of this charming property is that there is easily enough room for a dining table in either the lounge or the kitchen.

Bedrooms 1 and 2 are accessed directly from the lounge via sliding doors thus freeing as much living space as possible. Both are good sized doubles with stylish built-in wardrobes, and bedroom 2 boasts sliding doors leading directly to a charming balcony.

The master bedroom can be found on the opposite side of the lounge to bedrooms 2 and 3 and again is of a very generous size with a large number of built in wardrobes and access to the balcony where one can enjoy the imposing mountain views.

The first of the family shower rooms is next to the master bedroom whilst the second shower room is the left of the west facing veranda. A very usefully place utility room which currently houses a washing machine and dishwasher is also accessed from this veranda.

It is very difficult to define a character property, in such a perfect location, but this one certainly is.
