A wide-fronted 5 bedroom
townhouse in one of the most sought after areas of Naxxar -
The village core. This attractive and very spacious townhouse
is in Triq il-Kbira (Main Street). Despite its name, Main Street
is no longer a main street due to the expansion of Naxxar, mainly
being modern apartments and a major shopping thoroughfare, around
5 minutes walk on the peripherals of the original village. The
5 bedroom residence enjoys an imposing facade, and 2 of the
bedrooms form part of an annex which is independently accessible.
The main road it overlooks is now quiet, and the neighbouring
residences once the centre of town, nowadays still imposing,
but less frequented. This unique property has three entrances.
The middle doorway is imposing, tall, three steps above road
level, and an attraction in itself, and leads to a vaulted hallway.
The other two external doors flank the main entrance, one to
each side.
Facing the facade, the left hand side entrance leads to a sizeable
unused room, which opens onto a large internal courtyard with
the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom annex and terrace at the far end of
the same courtyard.
The right hand side entrance leads into a very large high ceiling
room, currently a lounge and dining area, the length of which
spans the depth of the courtyard and leads to the back of the
house wherein lies the kitchen/breakfast alongside a pretty
back yard. The top part of this corbelled room has been partly
floored to create a study and small library overlooking the
lounge/dining. On reaching the large kitchen at the back, one
turns left by the courtyard to the breakfast room, which has
a featured window in the thick wall looking into the manger
cum 2nd. living room further down the corridor running parallel
to the courtyard.
Back in the main entrance hall, if one doesn't take the right
door into the living areas just described, there is a staircase
leading upstairs to a landing and a large main bedroom with
bathroom ensuite overlooking the courtyard, another double bedroom
with a stone balcony and niche overlooking the street, and a
third single bedroom also overlooking the street. A trapdoor
in the landing leads up to the roof.
Downstairs again, down the hallway to the left beyond the stairs
is a spare toilet, and then a large door opening onto the 20
by 16 foot central courtyard. Across the yard is a staircase
leading up to the terrace and the annex, which overlies the
manger and kitchen/breakfast area.
All rooms enjoy several traditional features such as thick walls,
wooden beams, flagstones and high ceilings. The property is
exceptionally well mantained, and ready to occupy. All rooms
enjoy lots of natural light.
