The property: Las Golondrinas

This traditional cottage built on 2 levels dates back to approx. 1960. It is impeccably maintained and retains many original features, reformed to an excellent standard, offering a cozy relaxed atmosphere.

The pretty tiled facade and interior courtyard walls have matching Andalusian tiles, with hand-made materials above windows and exterior doors.

Upon entering is a walled Andalusian tiled patio, giving access to the main entrance door. A locked external door/wrought iron gate reveals a small tiled entrance vestibule. A white glazed door opens into the property.

Inside: a charming living room with a traditional wooden ceiling and centralized wood-burner/pellet burner. There have been recent upgrades, including new floors throughout. A second WC can be installed upstairs.

Ground floor: the kitchen has traditional tiles, while the remaining ground floor has a neutral wood-effect matt tile. All windows have been replaced with double glazed tilt/turn windows with fly screens.

The lounge leads into a large, pristine country kitchen with feature floor tiles, beamed ceilings, and a view to the courtyard. New granite work surfaces have been installed. Fully equipped with an integrated oven, gas hob, and overhead stainless steel extractor. Microwave and modern appliances, plus a new free-standing fridge-freezer. There is a breakfast bar (granite top) with stools and additional overhead cupboards.

From the kitchen, a glazed door leads to the inner courtyard, where the utility area and storage cupboard are located.

Also on the ground floor is a bright and spacious shower room with perfectly tiled walls, a window, a heated towel rail, a wall-mounted heating unit, and a rectangular shower cubicle with a white ceramic base and sliding glass doors (rain shower).

Off the lounge is a ground floor double bedroom, or, as presently used, a furnished dining room with feature beamed ceilings.

Between the lounge and dining room is a reformed tiled staircase. On the first floor are two double bedrooms with wonderful countryside views. The master bedroom is particularly spacious, with a large wardrobe, chest of drawers, two windows, and built-in storage cupboards. Both bedrooms have been beautifully transformed with high-quality wooden flooring. Larger furniture items such as wardrobes will remain.

Exterior:

The ground floor courtyard area has Andalusian tiling matching the front patio, plus a laundry area and storage cupboard. The courtyard tiled floors lead to a black wrought iron staircase giving easy access to the upper rectangular sun terrace.

The solárium has rustic “barro” exterior tiles and is solid and will withstand the weight of water should you wish to install a Jacuzzi. There is a rattan covered pergola providing ample shade to eat, continuing to a large uncovered area to enjoy all-day sun and the spectacular countryside and mountain views beyond.

This upper solárium provides the perfect space for entertaining (summer BBQs) or relaxing and enjoying the ambience. With ample space for a Jacuzzi, the home could be used for “rural tourism”, as the area has a long summer season and is very popular.
