Grb1110 A Charming And Unique Farmhouse Tucked Away In A Quiet Alley In Gharb

A delightful and unique traditional farmhouse tucked away in a quiet alley in Gharb, one of Gozo’s most sought-after villages. Full of authentic character and charm, including stone arches, shorok and kileb stone ceilings, and mangers, the property offers complete privacy, flexible accommodation, several traditional wells with stone well heads, multiple terraces at different levels, and ample space to install a swimming pool, if desired. This property was fully renovated in 2017.

A grand and impressively wide entrance hallway leads directly into the large private courtyard and garden, creating a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity from the moment you arrive.

Opening onto the courtyard is a magnificent traditional millroom, currently used as the main living and dining area, featuring soaring floor-to-ceiling arches, original mangers, and beautiful original proportions. An internal spiral staircase leads to the upper floor. With several windows at both ends, and a glazed doorway opening on to the courtyard, the room enjoys ample natural light.

Directly off this stunning room is the separate kitchen, which overlooks the courtyard from two sides and enjoys plenty of natural light.

Across the courtyard is a separate exceptionally spacious high-ceilinged guest room, presently used as a second lounge, dining room and studio bedroom, providing highly flexible accommodation. A glazed door and several windows open directly onto the courtyard, enhancing both the light and the indoor-outdoor flow. There is also an adjacent shower room off the courtyard, which is currently used as a utility room.

The courtyard wraps around the rear of the house leading to an octagonal fountain, and a raised garden area, an ideal space for the installation of a pool, if one wishes, while still retaining generous outdoor entertaining areas. A few steps lead up from the garden to a first-floor bedroom with a covered terrace overlooking the courtyard and garden.

A separate original external stone staircase accesses the remainder of the property. At this level there are four bedrooms in total, including the bedroom reached from the garden terrace. Two bedrooms enjoy en-suite bathrooms, one of which can also be independently accessed from the staircase, offering excellent guest accommodation potential. Accessed from the master bedroom, with its shark and kileb ceilings, is a traditional wooden balcony, with seating and enjoying views towards San Dimitri Chapel and the sea. One of the adjacent bedrooms, also with its own independent access from the courtyard, is a bedroom is also linked to the master bedroom.

The various terraces and outdoor spaces at different levels create a wonderful sense of character and provide numerous spots for relaxing or entertaining.

Continuing upwards, the staircase leads to a charming low-ceilinged room, believed to have possibly been used as a traditional birthing room in centuries past, currently used as a store room.

Finally, the stairs lead up to a spacious roof terrace, with composite wood flooring and lounge seating, enjoying wide sweeping countryside and sea views — the perfect place to unwind, relax in the sun, or simply to enjoy a sundowner.

This truly characterful 4–5 bedroom farmhouse offers a rare opportunity of peaceful village living on the outskirts of Gharb, whilst still being only 300 metres from the village square, with its cafes & restaurants.
