An attractive detached country house requring a small amount of improvement, with potential for a ground floor separate apartment or extra rooms, or a workshop, on a beautiful plot of land just 5 minutes drive from the country town of Riogordo – no dirt track.

Located in the gentle, rolling hills of olive and almond groves close to the village, this lovely property has a private drive from the country road, leading up to the house, which is surrounded on all sides by fruit and olive trees. There is plenty of space to add a pool. With current planning restrictions on built-in pools, it would be perfectly possible to add an above-ground pool on any part of the gently sloping areas of the plot, such that one side is level with the ground for easy access and improved aesthetics.

The house has a large car parking area to one side, a flat area to the side and rear which could be gravelled or terraced, with barbeque, and some fascinating, huge rocks in amongst the trees by the car parking area. The front of the house has a fruit tree orchard, including plum, orange, pomegranite, peach, apricot, medlar and fig trees. There are also numerous grapevines, with potential to add more and produce one’s own delicious wine! There are also olive and almond trees and plenty of free land to plant more trees, vegetables and flower gardens.

The house has two sections:

– On the ground floor a large garage door leads into a warehouse (8.25 x 4.5m). To the front left of the warehouse is a door leading into the current kitchen/dining room with brick-built open fireplace, which is in need of updating, (4.25 x 4m). The next door on the left leads to a ground floor bedroom or store room (3.5 x 2m) and there is a further door on the left to the rear of the warehouse (around 2.5 x 2m).

– The first floor is accessed via an outside staircase leading to a gallery balcony with arches that runs along the length of the front of the house. The front door leads into the living room (6.5 x 3.5m) with a built-in bar and corner brick-built open fireplace. To the left, a door leads into a room of around 3.5 x 2.5m which could be made into a kitchen if required. To the rear of the living room area, a passage leads to three bedrooms (sizes 3.5 x 3m, 2.5 x 2m and 2.25 x 3.5m) and a bathroom (2.5 x 1.5m).

In all the measurements of the house are: ground floor 41m2 of residential space plus 58m2 of warehouse or store, upper floor 99m2 of residential space – total 198m2.

This house has great potential for improvement to make a comfortable and spacious country home, or a house with two separate living areas, within a lovely plot of land.
