Villa for sale in Benicolet, Valencia

We are pleased to be able to add this beautiful property to our portfolio. This lovely, well-constructed cottage-style villa is situated on the outskirts of the small town of Benicolet. The villa sits on an elevated plot of 5,464 square metres with absolutely stunning views across the La Safor mountain range and the Albaida Valley.
The house and garden area are very secure, with a high private wall to the front and side, and full fencing to the rear. There are two ways to enter the property: a side gate, and a large automated gate leading to the driveway, parking area and enclosed garage with a rear storage room. The exterior of the property is very attractive, with a good selection of fruit trees in the orchard to the rear, as well as a raised terrace and several seating areas around the house, including a beautiful covered outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. On the opposite side of the property, you will find a large purpose-built workshop and storage area, along with a lovely swimming pool and sun-terrace area above. This pool area also enjoys fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. The front of the property features a nice-sized covered terrace – a perfect place to sit and enjoy breakfast as the sun rises.
The house is entered through a sturdy wood-effect security door that opens into a large reception area. The interior immediately gives a warm, homely feeling. To the left is a rustic kitchen with ample workspace, including marble and stone worktops. The kitchen also houses the wall-mounted gas central-heating and hot-water boiler. In the same entrance area, there is a downstairs utility room with a toilet and porcelain hand basin. The downstairs lounge–dining room is bright and open, currently divided into two areas: one a large snug with an original traditional wood-burning chimney, and the other the dining and lounge area. Both receive plenty of natural light. The lovely arched and beamed ceilings add to the overall cottage character.
There is a bright open landing area downstairs, spacious enough to place large pieces of furniture, such as a bookcase or bureau. The sturdy, wide Valencian-style staircase leads up to the first-floor landing.
On this level, there are two good-sized fully tiled bathrooms: one shared between the three bedrooms, and the large en-suite bathroom for the master bedroom, which includes both a corner bath and a walk-in shower. The spacious master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a nice private balcony to enjoy the fantastic views.
The two additional bedrooms are both well sized, each with built-in wardrobes and access to a long shared rear balcony, again enjoying splendid views of the surrounding countryside and the raised pool and terrace area. Towards the end of the corridor, you will find another room—narrow and long—ideal as an office or studio space, although it is often used as an extra guest bedroom.
If you are searching for peace and quiet, yet not too far from the coast and the beautiful historic town of Gandia with its award-winning blue-flag golden sandy beaches, then you have found the right place.
