Huis te koop in El Pinell de Brai, Tarragona

Completely rebuilt in 2008, using artisanal and reclaimed materials, this impressive 323m2 village house, built in the traditional style, juxtaposes old and new to create a comfortable, modern home full of timeless character. With solar panels on the roof to help reduce the electricity cost and a Hutte tourist license, the house is capable of producing a passive income.

Located at the heart of the beautiful village of El Pinell de Brai the house has natural light and views from both sides of the building. Access on the lower, wider, street is via a 68m2 double garage which is large enough for two cars, with plenty of storage space. A tiled stairway leads up to the lobby, while a metal staircase goes down to an arched bodega below ground.

From the back street the house is entered via a few stairs into the 73m2 ground floor. From the lobby there is a tiled cloakroom on the right and a door to the garage on the left. The spacious living room runs along the front of the house with natural light from double glass doors and two windows overlooking the village and street above the garage. In a corner of the room a large pellet burner has pipes which heat the room and the floors above.

Through a brick arch the open-plan fitted kitchen features solid wooden cupboards and handmade tiles on the walls.

There are two spacious bedrooms on the 73m2 1st floor, plus a family bathroom which has a large bath and separate shower. The back bedroom has its own balcony and the front bedroom an en-suite shower room.

The 73m2, 2nd floor also has two spacious bedrooms, one to the back and the other to the front. Both have en-suite bathrooms.

36m2 of the top floor consist of a light and airy studio/office with terrace doors opening onto a 40m2 roof terrace. To the back of the studio is a small utility room/kitchenette with a separate WC.

From the terrace there are panoramic views over the village to the famous Cathedral of Wine, Modernist wine cellar and out to the surrounding hills and countryside.

The house benefits from double glazed windows with traditional wooden blinds and mosquito netting throughout. Heating is via a pellet burner, while there are also electric radiators in all the rooms as well as ceiling fans for summer. 10 solar panels on the roof help to reduce the electricity cost. The property has an alarm system installed.

Great attention has been paid to detail throughout the building. All rooms have exposed, reclaimed and treated, wooden beams and handmade floor tiles. All the bathrooms and the kitchen have handmade glazed wall tiles, and traditional bricks complete the facade.

The property has recently been granted a Hutte tourist license. With its 4 spacious en-suite bedrooms, central location and stunning terrace views, this house would make a fantastic tourist rental in a popular and beautiful village, in an area renowned for its fine wine, unspoiled scenery and history.

Less than 10 minutes' drive from the River Ebro and 35 minutes from the Mediterranean coastline, the area is also well known for its mountain pools and streams as well as for the Via Verde cycling path that weaves through the countryside.

The house has a mortgage which can be paid off by the current owners or taken over by the buyer.
