The Property
This detached large and solid property is reputed to be over 200 years old is in
a very dilapidated state but would make a wonderful residence once restored.
Built of stone with walls over half a yard thick the house has all the
traditional features waiting to be restored to their former glory. Many of the
original ceiling beams (complete tree trunks) remain and are solid. The main
walls are sound and without any sign of movement over the centuries. For the
past 60 years the property has been used as store rooms by the village elders
and parts of the building have disintegrated due to lack of maintained. Most of
the original stick and clay roof has gone and that which remains was at some
time in the past given a thin coat of cement and needs to be replaced. There is
a local building yard and builders that do this type of restoration work to a
modern standard.
 Electricity to the property has been disconnected and needs complete rewiring.
There is water to the property.
The property is L shaped with 4 rooms in a side street and 2 on the wider
village road. Some of the rooms are 2 story but the wooden staircase has
disintegrated. There may be some rooms below the property and there is an area
for a courtyard behind. From the upper level there are uninterrupted sea and
mountain views.
This property is viewable on
