Lets’ explore this pretty property
We approach through the town of Oria and head towards Rambla de Oria. It is also only a short drive from the bustling town of Albox. The drive towards to property is very scenic with the rolling hills surrounding us, the plantation is mainly almonds which are truly a splendour during the flowering season. The hills come alive with the pink and white flowers, and the aromas are quite amazing.
We park at the bottom of the short driveway. To the side there is a separate parking space. Infront of the property there is a stoned driveway offering ample private parking, to the left of the home is an idyllic patio area. The front of the property is very inviting and offers great outside entertaining areas – perfect for Al Fresco dining. The location is private although not isolated.
We are very impressed as we enter the property through the double wooden doors with glass panels into a grand entrance hall (3.12x3.68m2), with the staircase leading to the first floor heading off to the right-hand side. The current owners utilise this area as a study with a desk under the stairs. The stairs area a real feature with tiled steps and detailed railings. The ceilings throughout are concave and high offering natural temperature control.
Infront is the main lounge area with a centrally fitted log burner and arches to each side leading to a further lounge or dining area. The main lounge area is 3.47x6.87m2. The second area being 3.35x3.70 with a wooden window with views to the front gardens.
The ground floor bedrooms lead off from the lounge. The master bedroom has the bonus of an entrance way that offers the perfect walk in dressing room. The main bedroom delights with the features of being in the cave, curved ceilings and shelving all around. Due to the high ceilings the whole of the master suite feels bright and spacious. The length of this suite is an impressive 9.39m2.
Bedroom 2 and 3 offer interesting possibilities. The front bedroom is 2.79x3.14m2 then leads through the arches to bed 3 being 3.35x3.7m2. This can be perfect for a young family with having the children close to you or would make a wonderful suite with possibly including an ensuite and dressing room.
A key bonus with the ground floor bedrooms is for temperature balance, they remain cool in the summer and hold the heat during the winter.
Ground floor bathroom with bath, mostly tiled, window to the side and fitted wall lights.
To the front of the ground floor is the newly fitted kitchen (3.30x3.41). There are modern floor and wall cupboards, fitted gas hob and electric oven, extractor fan. There are double wooden doors leading out to the front gardens and a further double opening windows ensuring this area is bright and spacious. The perfect kitchen for the person who likes to entertain.
To the right-hand side of the main lounge, we have access to the additional bonuses of the original buildings- currently used for storage. These can be converted to expand the living space and to include a very cute courtyard. We love that there are a lot of the original features in here – windows and doors that can be updated and maintained. This area of the home was originally the local shop and bar with still having some beautiful original floor tiling.
Now we have a very exciting addition to this property for you...the first floor fully renovated apartment. perfect for AIR BNB or for a multi-generational family.
We enter int o the large lounge with aircon and access to the private terrace. There are also buildings at the back of this area that could be expanded to offer additional entertaining area and possibly an above ground pool. The original brick walls here are truly stunning. There’s also a cave that could be included for a quirky bar or storage room.
The first floor offers a large lounge with aircon, a spacious bedroom also with aircon.
The first-floor apartment has been fully refitted recently with new electrics, aircon, new kitchen, bathroom.

The large master bedroom also has an aircon unit fitted.
The family bathroom on this floor is fully fitted tiled with a fitted wall mirror.
The newly fitted kitchen is fully fitted with floor units and has views over the rolling hills. One side of the room offers huge full wall windows to maximise the secenery.

The larger town of Albox is also a short drive-being under a 15 minute drive. Albox offers a great selection of facilities including major supermarkets.
