Villa for sale in Pontevedra city, Pontevedra

This impressive property peers down over the city of Pontevedra from its elevated position, with views over the river and the city centre.

Constructed from granite, this is a family home built to last.

A private driveway brings us through the gardens to the front of the house, and parking is available either outside or in the ample garage, with space for three or four cars.

Going through the front entrance, we are welcomed by a grand hallway with a staircase taking us to a galleried landing. A passageway takes us around the ground floor between the living room with fireplace, dining room with a large table for entertaining, and access to a terrace which takes in the views over the city and river down below. Then there is an office which also has access to the same terrace. The whole house benefits from an underfloor heating system.

Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom, which has access to the terrace and, like all the bedrooms in the house, has an en-suite bathroom.

A staircase winds its way to the galleried landing, which leads off to the five bedrooms on the first floor. All have their own bathroom and fitted wardrobes, and the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and even an area for preparing hot drinks and snacks.

Back downstairs and down to the basement level there is the garage, for several cars or other vehicles, and there is a cosy bar room for those weekend get-togethers. Also on this floor we find the washing room, gym, and cellar.

Outside is also a pleasure, with gardens surrounding the property on the private plot, which incorporates a heated swimming pool powered by solar panels and with UV water-treatment system, a tennis court. Hot water for the house is also provided by the solar panels when the season allows. The garden uses a well for the automatic watering system, there is a pond stocked with fish, and a stone-built summer house, perfect for entertaining guests with the incorporated barbecue.

This beautiful, quality home would suit a large family looking for a dwelling near Pontevedra city centre, and overseas clients wanting to send their children to the nearby international schools.
