Townhouse for sale in Purchena, Almería

This renovation project, requiring a new roof, is set on a highly sought-after street in the heart of historic Purchena. Within walking distance of shops, cafés, and the town square, lies this character-filled village house—a property steeped in history and waiting to be lovingly restored.

Behind its modest façade, the home opens into a deceptively spacious interior: a maze of rooms, memories, and potential. With imagination and care, this house could be transformed into a comfortable family home, a creative retreat, or a charming holiday escape brimming with Andalusian character.

With vision and creativity, this property offers the opportunity to be transformed back to its former glory. A new concrete flat roof along the length of the garage—four times the standard depth—could create a superb first-floor terrace with ample space for outdoor living and entertaining.

The unusually long garage, once a village bread shop serving the community, provides great potential. It could be reconfigured into three distinct sections: a secure garage, a spacious tool or workshop, and at the far end an extension to form a large, modern kitchen. This kitchen space adjoins the original house kitchen on the other side, and connects to a charming internal courtyard.

The first floor retains the charm of a traditional Spanish layout, where rooms are accessed through one another. The interconnected rooms could become a luxurious master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, maintaining the authentic charm of a traditional Spanish layout.

Property highlights: Spacious interior with thick whitewashed walls—naturally cool in summer and insulating in winter.

Ground floor: Private attached garage 5.7 m x 3.1 m; largest bedroom 6.7 m x 3.5 m; living room 6.6 m x 4.0 m; bathroom 2.5 m x 1.4 m; kitchen 10.9 m x 6.5 m; terrace 7.5 m x 3.0 m.

First floor: Largest bedroom 6.8 m x 3.7 m; bathroom 3.1 m x 2.0 m; terrace 3.5 m x 3.5 m.

Second floor: Largest bedroom 6.9 m x 3.5 m.

Opportunity awaits. This unique property offers a blend of history, character, and renovation potential. Whether you dream of a permanent residence, a vacation hideaway, or a restoration project, this house is a blank canvas under the Andalusian sun. The owner has confirmed that the property is priced for a quick sale and that the price is fixed and non-negotiable.
