BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED TOWNHOUSE IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE
This spacious home is immaculate in every way - the elegant exterior already beckons one to step inside and once inside there are no disappointments, only lovely surprises!
The property is located in the picturesque ‘Pueblo Blanco’ of El Colmenar (Estacíon Gaucín). El Colmenar nestles in a valley 15 mins drive from the popular village of Gaucín, and is flanked by the majestic ‘Los Alcornocales Parque Natural’ and the Guadiaro River. The river is in a stunning natural environment and offers wild water swimming, canyoning, canoeing, etc., and there are numerous hiking trails in the area with breathtaking scenery.
The village is also known as Estación Gaucín, due to having a station on the Algeciras-Ronda railway line with connections to several major towns & cities. Village amenities include grocery shops, bakery, pharmacy, health centre, school, bars & restaurants. It is 1hr drive from Gibraltar & Sotogrande, 1hr from the Costa del Sol (Marbella, Estepona), and with nearest airports at Malaga & Gibraltar.
Accommodation:
The roomy entrance hall is bright with a guest cloakroom/WC. The hallway leads into a spacious, light living room with a wood-burning stove, and a large fully-fitted country style kitchen with 4-seater dining table.
The staircase to the upper floor is a very attractive feature, with solid wood handrails and wood-edged stair risers and ceramic terracotta-coloured floor tiles, which are evident throughout the entire house, giving a lovely flow.
Upstairs there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms. The Master bedroom is the larger bedroom, with picturesque views of the countryside. The third bedroom is a good -size single room. All bedrooms have Juliet balconies, double size fitted wardrobes and overhead ceiling fans. The family bathroom is a good size and has a bath with overhead shower.
A further flight of stairs leads to the ‘jewel in the crown’ of this beautiful property – a gorgeous roof terrace with stunning 360º panoramic views! The spacious terrace can accommodate a dining table & chairs, sunbeds and 2 ‘chill-out’ seating areas. This is a perfect spot to capture the winter sun and enjoy the warm summer evenings, and there is a large iron pergola to provide shade during the hottest summer months.
A storage room has been cleverly utilised to provide not only a place to store cushions, but also as a mini-service area with shelving and housing a small fridge. As there is an existing water/electricity supply here, with a little extra thought this area could be reformed into a full summer kitchen for alfresco dining & BBQ’s.
This is an ideal ‘lock up and leave’ property, perfect either as a home for full-time living, or for relaxing holidays.
