Villa for sale in Pontevedra city, Pontevedra

This stone property, which dates back to 16th century, is situated in the corner of one of Pontevedra's most prominent squares, epitomising Galician architecture of its time.

Built over three floors, with a galleried window overlooking the old town square and the gardens of Castro Sampedro, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to acquire a historic and noteworthy home.

Crossing the square and through this property's emblematic archways, to the left we find a ground floor which is currently used for retail, and straight ahead, a doorway that leads up the stairs to the first floor.

This was a family home for many years and features original wooden flooring, window shutters and other period features. It comprises three bedrooms, a fitted kitchen/diner, utility, bathroom, and a spacious living room with views across a square steeped in history.

Up another floor, via the beautiful ornate staircase, there is an open-plan layout with exposed beams of the roof. A gallery offers views over La Herrería and a terrace opens over the street to the other side. This area needs to be completed, and offers a variety of options from residential to business uses.

The building has been partially renovated (in the year 2000), with a new roof, and the double-glazed gallery, in-keeping with the historic quarter's design.

There is also a second ground floor space which could be turned into a second retail / commercial space.

This property would suit a buyer looking for a city-centre dwelling, with the advantage of being able to rent-out the ground floor, or of course an investor interested in historic buildings, looking to acquire a unique property in the centre of the old town of Pontevedra.
