Townhouse for sale in Santiago de Calatrava, Jaén

If you are looking for a charming Spanish home that would make an ideal holiday retreat, lock-up-and-leave property or full-time residence, this attractive townhouse in Santiago de Calatrava could be just what you are looking for.
The property has recently been reformed by the current owners, including updated electrics, plumbing, air-conditioning and redecoration, creating a comfortable home that is ready to enjoy while still offering some scope for further personal touches.
On the ground floor, you enter into a welcoming sitting room which has a wood burner as a lovely focal point. This is a comfortable space in which to relax with family or friends. There is useful storage beneath the stairs, making good use of the available space.
From the sitting room, you continue through to a good-sized Andalucian-style kitchen/diner. This is a practical space for everyday living, with plenty of room for a dining table, while the adjoining utility area provides useful additional storage and space for laundry and household appliances. Opposite the kitchen is the main family bathroom with bath.
From this level, there is access out to the private patio, providing a lovely outdoor extension to the living space. There is plenty of room here for outdoor seating, dining or simply relaxing in the sunshine, as well as space for an above-ground swimming pool or hot tub. This area gives the property something that can be difficult to find in a traditional village townhouse, a dedicated outdoor space which could become a favourite feature of the house.
A particularly useful feature is the second bathroom/wet room, accessed from the patio area. Having two bathrooms is a real advantage for a property of this size, particularly when the house is being used by family or friends during holidays. It also means that the ground floor has its own additional bathroom facilities, which could be very convenient for guests or for anyone who doesn't want to use the upstairs facilities.
The first floor provides three good-sized double bedrooms. The rooms offer plenty of flexibility depending on how the new owners wish to use the property. The largest bedroom is particularly spacious and could potentially be divided to create an additional bedroom, bathroom or separate sitting area, subject to the necessary works and permissions. Another option could be to create a corridor to provide greater privacy for the third bedroom.
The bedrooms would work equally well for a family home, a holiday property or for accommodating visiting family and friends. The air-conditioning provides an added benefit during the hot Andalucian summer months.
There is plenty of street parking available, making everyday life convenient for both owners and visitors. The house is being sold partially furnished (including the above-ground pool, 4m x 2m, with pump), allowing the new owners to move in and make use of much of what is already there while adding their own style over time.
Overall, this is a comfortable and versatile property that would make a great 'lock-up-and-leave' holiday home, permanent residence or family getaway. The combination of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, outdoor space, air-conditioning and the cosy wood burner gives it plenty of appeal, while the property could also be adapted further to suit the needs of its new owners.
