4 Bed Village House for sale
Los Gallardos, Almeria, Andalucia, Spain
Full Description
This large corner home benefits from a beautiful entrance hall with duck egg blue floor tiles with rooms off three aspects.
To the left is a spacious living room in a rectangular shape with the same duck egg colour floor tiles and with tall windows that bathe the room in sunlight. This living room was originally a village shop as it used to have street access and could be closed off from the main body of the house.
At the far end of the living room there used to be a storage room for the original shop which has now been converted into a double bedroom.
To the right of the entrance hall, in true traditional style, is another good sized double bedroom.
The final room off the entrance hall directly opposite the entrance to the property is an independent dining room with an impressive double height feature ceiling.
On the left of the dining room there is a third double bedroom that also has access to the recently converted double bedroom. This bedroom has fitted wardrobes and plenty of storage space thanks to the row of wardrobes placed on the far wall.
The dining room also has access to a fitted kitchen with recessed glass wall cupboard which is another of the traditional elements remaining in the property. Please note, the kitchen does not currently have an oven.
Moving once more to the right, the kitchen leads to a large day to day room which was converted from a garage. This day to day room has access to the quiet residential street just beyond the entrance doors and could be divided in two and partially converted once more into a garage should a purchaser wish, leaving the access to the staircase to the first floor and access to the exterior courtyard as an interior hallway.
Also the ground floor there is also a tiled family bathroom with toilet, bidet, walk-in shower and basin.
The courtyard is an ideal space for sheltering from the elements, whether it be the sun, the rain or wind as just under half of this area has been covered over to become a utility area and the other half has a sun awning. With the addition of potted plants and some exterior furniture this could be the ideal oasis for entertaining or for relaxing.
The first floor consists of a landing currently used as an office; a master bedroom with views of the Cabrera hills in the distance; and two rooms that with a small amount of investment could be converted and combined to become a larger master suite with private bathroom.
The furthest partially restored room from the landing has a door that leads to a large roof-top solarium that takes all day sun. This great space is a huge bonus for the property and provides fantastic views over the normal village life.
