A fascinating village house with huge potential as a spacious home, or even a home with two guestrooms to let. Beautiful views in a very peaceful mountain village.

This traditional village house, 167m2, on a plot of 198m2, offers plenty of space, inside and out. Although it is in very good overall condition, the property could benefit from some minor changes, perhaps to improve the layout and use of some of the rooms and to create a second or third bathroom.

The location

Situated in the beautiful village of Cutar, tucked away on the hills, 10 minutes’ drive from the larger village of Benamargosa in the lush tropical valley below, this little house has huge potential for renovation into a charming property. The house overlooks to the church square. The village has one bar/restaurant, a general store, and a chemist. Further facilities are in Benamargosa (10 mins).

The house

From the street, a gate leads onto a huge tiled terrace (9 x 5m) with lovely views. Ahead is the front door of the house and to the left, a doorway through a wall leads into a lovely hidden courtyard patio (9 x 5m) which could become a beautiful patio garden. There is a large store room to the far end (3 x 5m) and at the other end, a covered area with a door into a second store room (3 x 3m).

The front door of the house leads into a large room (5 x 2.5m) which could be used as a living room or dining room. Beyond is a second room from where steps lead up to the right hand upper floor (see floorplan). To the left, a delightful kitchen (6 x 3m) and to the right and up a couple of steps, a hallway (3 x 3m) with the bathroom leading off the hall (3 x 2m). Also off the hall are the two bedrooms (4 x 3m and 4 x 4m). At the moment one bedroom leads directly to the other.

Upstairs is a landing (4 x 3m) leading to two very large bedrooms, (8 x 3m and 5 x 3m).

This fascinating house would be ideal for a couple maybe wishing to live here and adapt a couple of rooms for B&B.
