Townhouse for sale in Llanes, Asturias

The origin of this Asturian mansion dates back to the 18th century. At its feet rises a stone wall that surrounds the entire estate, currently converted into an Atlantic garden with more than 5,000 m², featuring a wide variety of ancient trees, plants, separated by different environments and turtle and duck ponds with a cistern that fed the pond water. Beside the house stands a grill area with exotic trees: agaves, junipers, araucarias, palms and a wide variety of the most native: ash trees, holm oaks, apple trees, fig trees, orange trees.
In the corner of the house lies a stone tower that had once been a dovecote. Several independent spaces have been created so they do not overwhelm. In front of the main garden is a large terrace with parasols and sun loungers that lead through a beautiful bougainvillea to the great Asturian mansion of 400 m² per floor.
The house’s history says that the first thing built was the axis of the staircase, which will be the base to start visiting this great property in a circular form. The house is distributed on three floors: ground floor where the pantry area, cellar, storage (formerly the stable) service rooms, laundry room, boiler room, with fuel oil heating throughout the house (individual thermostat) and a garage for two vehicles.
On the first floor it preserves all the old charm of the dwelling, starting with stone stairs, doors and windows in oak with different carvings on each one and being the originals from the period. Historically the windows had a transom but no glass, which later carried the idea seen in the Lerma monastery, of installing glass with a lead rebate for placement over the window. The living room with chimney, this with a heat recuperator, gives space to a wide wooden corridor with views to the mountain and the estate oriented to the south. We continue the tour and enter a hall that distributes a room where the chapel used to be. Through the hall we also enter another family room that communicates with a living-dining room with a fireplace and, in turn, this with the kitchen, more modern to have the appropriate services for the times we live in. We move to a distributor that borders a large, very spacious bathroom, a double bedroom, access to a fireplace, to a service and to the back garden. In the hall closest to the living room we find an oak door that leads to a staircase that goes up to the loft. In the loft there is a large, bright living room with a fireplace and different spaces for leisure. Also under the wooden ceilings are three large bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them with a bathtub under the skylight.
