This townhouse combines grand with cosy all through its 500 m2. The historic property is filled with charm across all three floors and patios (outdoor spaces), and even offers a pool and a garage - both much appreciated rarities in the heart of the old town.
Two connecting patios bursting with plants, offers an special kind of peace when the heavy antique door to the street is closed. The evenings with fairy lights and candles, floating around in the pool a hot night watching the stars is priceless. It is easy to understand the Moorish origins and intentions of this type of Andalusian residences with their riad & oasislike qualities. A chilly winters night in front of one of the four fireplaces is also no small thing!
With several hundred years of history, the oldest walls are nearly one meter thick, the property contains a total of nine rooms, four bathrooms and no less than four fireplaces. In the patio is a small stable that stable comes with a building license (only needs renewal) for a roof terrace. As is typical with old residences there is a well in the patio that was covered up about 10 years ago but can be reopened.
The house now boasts a fitted library, open kitchen/living room with both a wood burning stove and an open fireplace. Both rooms have solid oak flooring. The fitted kitchen is made of solid oak too, and has a Rangemaster five gas ring stove & four ovens.
On the second floor there is a space of approximately 45 m2 that is now a 4-bed room/living-room, but has been used for courses, concerts, art exhibitions and flamenco gatherings to mention some things.
The property is a well-established, popular 5-star-reviews, 14-bed licensed holiday-rental and art course venue. There is a huge potential to tap into for someone wanting to develop this as tourist business proper. And maybe even to create a new life in amazing Andalucia
The property has all licences/legal papers in order.
