Finca/Country House for sale in Alora, Málaga

It is really hard to know how to describe this property, it is a real one-off! Carefully renovated to retain the best of the original building, but updated to include custom made triple glazed and shuttered windows, insulation and a swimming pool, it mixes the best of all worlds. The accommodation is arranged to suit the current owner, so there is plenty of flexibility to change. Currently offering 3 bedrooms, the master with the original feature fireplace and a walk through dressing room, a cosy living room and a dining area with antique woodburner, a well fitted kitchen, with a dishwasher, modern gas cooker and the original iron range. The floors have their original stone tiles and flagstones, the walls the stonework exposed, creating a home which would not be out of place in a Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. As well as the main house there is a secondary building ripe for conversion to a guest apartment or studio, a sauna room and a lovely old bread oven which still functions, Great for Sunday roasts and pizzas!
The area around the main house is fully fenced, with internal fencing around the pool area. The pool and all the equipment is less that 2 years old, This whole area is prettily landscaped with individual flower beds and trees and adds to the charm. The terrace, which stretches across the front of the house, is roofed to provide the every essential shade from the summer sun. The roof was built to a standard to support solar panel, and the main roof has a guttering water collection system for irrigation etc. and to compliment the mains water supply, which is a major benefit.
