AS SEEN ON SUN, SEA AND SELLING HOUSES! SERIES 2 EPISODE 4

This is a modern villa set in the stunning countryside within the the small hamlet of Los Blancos, close to the prosperous village of Chirivel, which has all the facilities needed for day-to-day living, including a medical centre, banks, pharmacy, post office, shops and bars. Within 15 minutes is the larger town of Vélez-Rubio, 60 minutes to the coast and 90 minutes to major cities such as Almería, Murcia and Granada.

The property offers spacious living accommodation, huge secure storage space, a four car garage plus parking for more, a large paved patio surrounding the private swimming pool and a rear terrace with spectacular views of the Sierra de María.

Although the villa is built on two levels, everything is located on one, T-shaped, street-level floor. The living/dining room, kitchen and utility room are to one side of the front door and hall, and the three double bedrooms and two bathrooms are accessed from a separate corridor on the other side, with all rooms enjoying central heating.

The property is completely fenced on all sides and security grilles are fitted on all windows. There are terraces to both front and rear of the villa, and the rear terrace incorporates a conservatory.

The front door opens to the hall. To the left is the living/dining room, with two sets of patio doors opening onto the front terrace and another set opening to the rear terrace. The feature fireplace has a top-of-the-range wood burning fire. Beyond the living room is the kitchen and, behind, the utility room which also has the back door access to the rear terrace. Again, from the hall, double doors open to a corridor serving the bedrooms. The master bedroom, at the back of the villa, has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Bedroom 2 has fitted wardrobes and is at present used as a study. Bedroom 3 is the largest bedroom and also has fitted wardrobes. Between these two bedrooms is the family bathroom, with jacuzzi bath.

Furniture is included in the price.

The garden occupies the lower level of the property and is reached by steps from the rear terrace. There is also vehicle access from the front and side. A third of the garden is given over to a gravelled parking area in front of the garage. The garage itself holds four cars and also houses the central heating boiler and water heater. The private swimming pool measures 8m x 4m, is fully tiled, and has pumped filtration and underwater lighting. There is also a small cultivated area with shrubs and a plot at the side of the villa with fruit trees. Below the terrace is a pergola, planted with grape vines, offering a shaded place for outside dining. A door behing the pergola leads to a garden room and, beyond that, to a dry storage are with concrete floors and lighting which extends beneath the entire villa.
