A delightful and immaculate, quality home on one level with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a separate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment below – ideal for permanent living with a convenient income from the apartment, all on the same plot. All paperwork up to date. Fully legal. Peaceful, walk to facilities, and into the countryside.

If your plan is to live or retire in Southern Spain and earn some income, and at the same time be near to and part of a friendly community within walking distance of amenities, this is a perfect choice. The area, known as Puente Don Manuel, a part of the municipality of Alcaucin, has been attracting foreign residents for a number of years due to its good climate and beautiful surroundings.

This is an impressive house, both in terms of its immaculate, modern and yet simple style, and in terms of the true sense of homeliness that one feels when entering the property. This is not just a house, it is a comfortable, well-designed home! The lower unit, on the same level as the pool, has its own entrance and seasonal rentals can bring in a very good, useful extra income.

From the main entrance porch, off this quiet residential street, there are two front doors. To the left, the front door for the main house, which is on the upper level. A simply beautiful marble staircase with enchanting wrought iron rail and stained glass window leads into a bright, light dining room. This was once a front terrace, but the owners decided to close it in to make an extra room which they feel is used much more as such! This room follows through into a hallway.

From here beautiful double doors to the right lead into the very spacious and comfortable lounge (4.5 x 5.5m) with feature fireplace (electric) and very light and bright. At the end of the hallway is the door to the kitchen (3 x 3.7m) which is fully fitted and top quality throughout. To either side, also leading off the hall, are three double bedrooms (5x 4.5m including ensuite bathroom, 4 x 2.5m and 2.8 x 3.7m). One of these bedrooms is currently being used as a breakfast room, and for anyone not needing three permanent bedrooms, this is a perfect setup, and one could even knock through the adjoining wall with the kitchen to make a very large, comfortable kitchen/diner. There is also a large family bathroom of 2 x 2.6m.

A terrace accessed via the kitchen allows for outside dining with a view over the countryside and the garden and pool immediately below. Gated steps lead down to the courtyard garden and pool.

Back at the front entrance, the second front door leads into a lobby. From here, a door to the left leads into a large workshop (5 x 3m) with a shower room. This room could easily be converted into a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom, or even a studio apartment, for extra rental income. Straight ahead from the lobby, a further front door leads into the apartment, hence allowing the workshop to be accessed without entering the apartment.

The apartment has a hallway with two large built-in store cupboards. To the right, a short corridor leads to the two bedrooms. Bedroom 1 (4.6 x 4m) has its own ensuite shower room. Bedroom 2 (4.6 x 3m) has a door to access the family bathroom, also accessed from the corridor. In the hallway again, straight ahead is a modern, immaculate fully fitted kitchen (3.5 x 2.8m) with door to the garden, and to the left a wide arch leads into a very spacious living room (4 x 5m) with patio doors to the garden.

The garden has a beautiful kidney-shaped pool and plenty of terracing all around, and a pool shed to the rear.

This delightful, light, bright and comfortable property is just a stroll away from a local bar and bus stop and a few minutes’ walk from various shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Viñuela village is about 5 minutes’ drive away where the local health clinic and schools can be found, as well as more shops, bars and restaurants. At the end of this quiet road is the open countryside, so country walking and cycling is possible right from the doorstep.

So whether you are a family wishing to move or a couple looking to retire, and have an income from the apartment, this is a property that is well worth serious consideration.
