Andalucia, Almería, Oria, Spain

This large, detached house is simply fabulous! Around 200 years old it has been lovingly restored by the current owners over 20 years. It has all the charm of an old cottage with crammed full of the up-to-date features for comfortable living. The house details describe it as 3-bedroom, 3 -bathroom but this description does not do justice to this stunning home. Each room is beautifully crafted with elegance and style, from the really high-class wood effect double glazed windows and doors to the classic old wooden beams giving the house such a cosey feel.

The upstairs has the wow factor in bucket loads, with a huge lounge running the length of the house and high sloped vaulted ceiling. The current configuration has ´the library´ at one end, in the centre the comfortable area situated in front of the log burner and further seating at the furthest end which leads out onto a roof terrace. The dining room is equally lovely with a massive solid wooden dining room table and chairs- The custom-built kitchen leads off the dining room and in keeping with the rest of the house is stylish, modern yet totally in keeping with the rest of the house.

The sleeping accommodation and the three bathrooms are downstairs. the main bathroom, quirky and very roomy with a working well hidden under the slate floor. All the bedrooms are doubles and two have en suite bathrooms. The master also has its own sunroom and terrace. Luxury living! The second bedroom is part of a separate suite which comprising bedroom, en-suite bathroom, kitchen and a second lounge. A perfect space for visitors or even possibly for a rental.

In the garden, is the current owner´s favorite room! The sunroom, dayroom, garden-room call it what you will is a place to relax, entertain or perhaps, persue your hobbies. The log burner keeps its warm in the winter and generally its cool in the summer.

The property benefits, in fact, from three separate wood burning stoves strategically placed in the lounge, dining room and sunroom and if it´s still too cold just power up the oil-fired central heating. Mains water and electrics are of course connected.

The house is full of charm and so is the outside space, full of nooks and crannies, several different seating areas many sheltered from the wind, some suitable for al fresco dining, some for quiet meditation and some for sun-worshipping! Something for everyone!

The plot is 860 square metres and is classified at ´urban land´ which means the new owners could install a below ground swimming pool (with correct permissions). Situated right on the edge of the small quaint village of Los Alamos it´s just 10 minutes' drive from Oria where you will find supermarkets, bars, a fuel station, 24-hour health centre and a large communal swimming pool which opens in the summer months. It´s also very close to the N-92 motorway which will get you to the coast in 40 minutes.

This beautiful house needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Much of the furniture is available by separate negotiation.
