Description
One of the oldest houses in the area, with parts dating back around 500 years, this beautiful corner House Of Character is rich in character and boasts features such as wooden beams, wooden apertures, patterned floor tiles, slab stones and xorok. The property is semi-detached with two entrances and adjacent to a recently restored chapel. The house has a total of 14 rooms, three of which have been converted to the ‘heart of the house’: an open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area which leads to the outside terrace, garden and five rooms surrounding it. The house has currently two bedrooms but can be converted into a property with three more bedrooms added to it. It has also plenty of space for an outdoor or roof pool. The garden can be watered all-year round cost-free through the house’s own bell shaped, 7×7 metre well which receives rainwater collected from roofs and the terrace. The house has no garage but easy car access and plenty of parking opportunities directly nearby. A true home which can be enjoyed as is, or it can be considered as a project for further exciting development in various ways. In fact, a lot of work has been put in it already and it is being sold as semi-converted. Thanks to full roof ownership, one can extend the property there or convert the rooms surrounding the garden, or do away with some of them and add a large pool. There is also an unexcavated cellar that waits to be discovered. This property is freehold. Worth viewing

Local Information Zejtun
Żejtun's origins lie in antiquity judging by discoveries in the area of Punic tombs and the remains of a large Roman villa complete with cisterns and olive press.
Olive oil production here probably continued into Arabic times: the village derives its name from the semitic word `żejt' meaning olive. The nearby prehistoric site of Ta' Silġ suggests the area was inhabited even earlier. Żejtun was elevated to town status by the last Grand Master in Malta, Ferdinand de Hompesch, who named it `Citta' Beland' after his mother's lineage. Żejtun, lying near to Marsaxlokk and Marsaskala Bays, was easily open to attack from Barbary Corsairs and the Ottoman Turks. You can still see some fortified houses in the village core.
Żejtun today retains much of historical interest. The Parish Church of St. Catherine (1692), described as `the cathedral of the South', is perhaps the finest work of Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafa'. The Old Parish Church of St. Gregory, dating back to 1592, is a fascinating church. In 1969, a secret passage was discovered in the church walls. Intended perhaps as a safe place for villagers when Żejtun was under attack, these passages revealed the skeletal remains of some 80 or so people.
