This traditional Spanish house in a village location is half way to being a stunning family property, with the current vendor having spent time and money on the restoration of this property. With rooms distributed over two levels the interior of the top floor has been completely upgraded to create a master bedroom and an en-suite in a rustic style, with a modern finish. From the street there are two entrances to the house one of which leads into a small courtyard and onto the front door, giving access into the large lounge/diner. From here the lounge french doors lead to the back court yard which is currently partly tiled with the remainder being gravelled. In this courtyard there is a log store, central heating boiler cupboards and a shower room. There is plenty of outdoor space here to install your very own private pool should you wish to. Back inside the house, a hallway leads to the ample sized refurbished kitchen/diner which has a beautiful butler sink, thick granite worktops, gas hob and an integrated fridge, plus a log burner. There is a separate utility room to house additional appliances. From the corner of the kitchen stairs lead up to the master bedroom which has floor to ceiling wardrobes fitted and an en-suite. There is access to a large sun terrace which is still under construction. On the ground floor in addition to the lounge and kitchen, there are a number of additional rooms. This is where the majority of the work still needs to be done. Next to the lounge there is a large room which could be a study, dining room, or, if you wished, you could remove the wall and make a very large lounge diner. Beyond this room is a small square hallway, this is where the other street entrance is. Leading off the hallway are three very good sized bedrooms and a large shower room on the ground level. The property is sold furnished, but refurbishing is required throughout, with the exception of the kitchen and bathrooms. This house is work in progress, but with the majority of the expensive jobs done, it gives you the opportunity to make your own mark too.
