Casa El Prado is one of a terrace of just three pretty houses, each with its own garden, and enclosed within a small gated communal access. Parking is easy just outside the complex and it is right on the edge of glorious countryside, (ideal for taking long walks, exploring the countryside, or just walking the dog), and yet walking distance from several shops, bars and restaurants. It is a perfect bolt hole in Andalucia, and also as a holiday rental house when not in use. Perfect also for permanent living. The front door leads into a hallway, with a very beautiful, quality fitted kitchen through an archway to the left, staircase, and a downstairs wash room WC to the right. The open plan ground floor means that the living room is very large, light and welcoming. It is divided into two sections, with a very comfortable sitting area with window and double patio door to the garden, and plenty of dining space. Around the corner the other part of this L shaped living area, originally designed to be a garage but incorporated at the building stage by the current owners, is a welcome additional space, which can be used as an office, extra living room, reading area, TV area, or dining room. The pretty Andalucian-tiled staircase with attractive wrought-iron stair rail, leads to the first floor landing. There is a beautiful, round stained glass window at the top of the stairwell which brings lots of extra light into the open plan stairwell, upstairs, and downstairs areas. Upstairs are 3 double bedrooms, all with quality built-in wardrobes. The master suite incorporates a comfortable and stylish en-suite bathroom and a private balcony/terrace overlooking the garden and pool. There is a spacious and equally stylish family bathroom on this floor too. The double patio doors in the living room lead out into the rear garden, which is bathed in sunlight for most of the day, with a beautiful wooden covered pergola with exquisite long, log table with long benches, (included with the property) overlooking the pretty, sparkling 3 x 6m swimming pool. The views are very pleasant, over the countryside beyond, and a few of the pretty villas built in this peaceful neighbourhood. The garden is practically maintenance free, with gravel, tiled areas and potted plants. To the far side of the house, a spacious printed concrete area is an ideal place for a barbecue and the current owners have a useful garden shed to this side. Beyond the shed, heading around to the other side of the house, is a patio area with a beautiful tiled round patio table and chairs (available to purchase) and low garden gate, leading out to the communal access road. The property is located in Puente Don Manuel, just 5 minutes from Alcaucin village and 15 minutes from the coast. All paperwork in order.
