Townhouse for sale in Purchena, Almería

This unoccupied renovation project is priced to sell and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to create a home to their own taste. The property is currently configured as a four-bedroom, one-bathroom house, with a patio and access to the first-floor terrace.

Two bedrooms and the bathroom are located on the ground floor. Two further bedrooms are upstairs and, in traditional Spanish style, one must be walked through to reach the other. A small car or van can easily access the front door, while plenty of free street parking is available both above and below the property on a first-come, first-served basis.

Both the water and electricity meters will need to be reinstalled.

The walls are structurally sound, although the existing render would benefit from updating. Traditionally, lime mortar was used in the construction of these properties. However, as cement became more affordable, cement-based renders became increasingly common. Replacing the existing render with a suitable lime-based finish would allow the walls to breathe more naturally and help regulate moisture, reducing the potential for damp-related problems and associated odours.

The property requires modernisation, including the installation of a new kitchen. However, its attractive asking price makes this an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to add value through renovation. The furniture shown in the video is included in the asking price.

Outside, the property benefits from a patio and a first-floor terrace, providing pleasant spaces to relax outdoors and enjoy the Spanish sunshine. They are also practical for everyday use, including drying clothes. At the time of writing, we are still confirming the annual IBI (council tax) for this property, which is expected to be modest.

Opportunity awaits: This property offers an appealing combination of traditional character, history and affordable renovation potential. Whether you are looking for a permanent residence, a holiday retreat or a rewarding restoration project, this is an opportunity to create something special under the Andalusian sun.
