Huge 5 bed 3 bath cortijo with courtyard garden, roof terrace and detached 72m garage Arboleas

This deceptively spacious cortijo style property is located in a small hamlet of similar houses just a couple of minutes drive from Arboleas village. The village has all the amenities you will require for day to day living including small supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants, doctors, chemist, banks, school, post office, gymnasium and a weekly street market on Saturdays. The med coast resorts of Mojacar and Vera Playa can be reached in 25 to 35 minutes and there are three international airports within easy reach via excellent motorway connections, Almeria, Murcia and Alicante.

The property would be ideal as a large family home or equally could be used as a bed and breakfast business as it has two floors, the ground floor for the owners accommodation and the second floor for guests as it has independent access as well as an internal staircase. From street level you enter the property via double wood farmhouse doors into a hallway. Two double bedrooms of 12 m each lead off from either side of the hallway, the one to the left with built in wardrobe. An archway then leads to a central lounge with under stairs cloakroom and opposite a modern family bathroom with corner bath. An archway with two steps then leads to a spacious fully fitted kitchen and off of this a further room (12m)which could either be used as a dining room, additional bedroom or office space. The kitchen and additional room used to be an open plan kitchen diner and could easily be returned to this as the dividing wall is just a stud wall. From the kitchen a door leads out to a covered terrace of 18m with glazed windows overlooking the rear courtyard. This could also be used as a separate dining room or as a sun room and provides welcome shade. The rear courtyard of approx 30m is paved for easy maintenance and beyond this there is a further 21m terrace used as a parking area. From the courtyard a tiled staircase leads to a 35m roof terrace with lovely mountain views and from here an access door leads to the first floor.

From the internal lounge marble stairs lead to the first floor and into an upstairs lounge of 18m with a log burning fire. Off here are two double bedrooms of 12m both with en suite shower rooms. There is a further bedroom of 16m to one side and to the other a step leads to a 16m room which was intended to be an upstairs kitchen which just requires the units and appliances installing. From here is the access door to the roof terrace.

The property has been mainly reformed to a good standard but needs some finishing off, some general painting and tlc. It would however, be ideal for someone wanting to put their own stamp on a property that does not want to undertake major structural work.

To the front of the property is a detached 72m garage with separate shower room. This has suffered some cracking which will require some work but we can recommend a good builder who can advise on what work is required to remedy this.
