8 Bed Townhouse for sale
Martos, Jaen, Andalucia, Spain
Full Description
This lovely, historical property, located in the town of Martos, in the Jaén province of Andalucia, is a project just waiting for the right owner to bring it back to life and restore it to its former glory. This is a house full of potential and promise and could be a great investment opportunity in the right hands.
Currently, the property offers 8 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but is a blank canvas that could be reconfigured to best suit the needs of its new owner. The front pitch of the roof has been renewed, but it does require a lot of further work to be carried out, including immediate work to make it waterproof and liveable, but once finished, this would be a really special property. The house retains a lot of original features and is in a great location next to a beautiful church with plenty of parking outside. At the rear is a large patio and garden area with views over Martos and the countryside beyond. The property is only a 5-minute walk away from shops, bars and the local indoor market. It is also close to El Mirador, El Torre de Homenaje, and the remains of Castillo de la Villa. The house would work well as a large family home, small hotel, B&B or separated into apartments and is just waiting for someone with the right passion and vision to complete this fascinating project and create their dream property.
