Description

We have the pleasure in presenting this traditional, superb 5 Bed, 2 Bath Country House/Cortijo, 2 storey and a build of 240m² on a 2400m2 plot. Situated just a short drive from Albox town, Almeria, but tucked away in the serenity of Aljambra.

Enter via double metal gates onto a large gravelled driveway with turning circle, giving plenty of off road parking for several cars, Motorhome and/or a Caravan, leading round to the brick built, covered carport. From here there is a paved terrace with shade for whiling away the hours and alfresco dining, to the right.The whole plot is fenced and gated with a myriad of pathways, taking you to beautiful feature all around the property.

The property is surrounded by so many outdoor seating, sunbathing areas and has an Olive Grove, along with with various mature trees, flora and fauna and a beautiful Rose Garden , when in bloom. The views are delightful and from the Roof Solarium are just stunning.

There is a log store with built in authentic pizza oven/BBQ next to a workshop that also has a pretty arched terrace area, set to another seating area.

The gardens wind round to the very rear of the property where there is an 8m x 4m private swimming pool with outdoor shower and another little area for relaxing after your morning swim.

From the large rear terrace area, which has a good sized dining area, are double doors that enter into the traditional breakfast room, with a wood burner set into the fireplace with wooden mantle.

Archway leads into the more comtemporary, modern and very large fully fitted kitchen with ample modern wooden base units above and below the worktops. The extended kithchen also has a "Larder area" with cupbaords that slide out and holds everything from storage of food, spice racks etc.

This also houses the extra fridge/freezers etc vital for those cold beers and fine dining. This kitchen is very user friendly and all you chef's out there would really appreciate the space and layout.

Two steps up from the main kitchen, takes you to a door that leads into a quirky, very Spanish style shower room with a lovely corner shaped tiled walk-in shower, a step down with the typical low doors is a Double Guest room again maintaining the traditional charm of this Cortijo/Village House, with it's beams and a door that leads to rear terrace dining area and poolside.

Back from the breakfast room doors lead to the remainder of the ground floor rooms. An opening leads into the dining room, the spacious and charming lounge with wood burner and stairs rising to first floor, with double doors opening out to the front of the property and pretty terrace.

Three further rooms, off the breakfast room, are another living room where a door gives access to a study which has a built in range of wardrobes and through to another room currently used as an art room.Here is potential to convert both these large rooms 2 downstairs bedrooms.

From the lounge, a door opens to stairs upto the first floor. On this floor there are 3 further bedrooms, one currently being used for storage, a good sized Guest room and the very spacious Master Bedroom which has a door leading out to the roof terrace which is a large area, pefect for the night cap and star gazing or your morning coffee. The views from this area are absolutely stunning.
