A door from the utility room opens to a good size family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower. A door from the utility leads out to a wonderful and large rear covered terrace with really stunning views across the country side to the imposing hillside of La Muela, within the Maria-Los Velez natural park.

Returning to the kitchen, to the left is a large open plan dining area with a door out to the rear covered terrace. Also from the dining area an archway leads to the formal lounge with an exposed rock wall and a log burner. The lounge can also be accessed through an archway from the entrance/hall.

Going back to the entrance/hall, a wrought iron staircase leads to the upstairs of what was the upper floor of the main house. Here we find a landing/study area, a shower room and 3 good size bedrooms, the master being very large with built in wardrobes, air conditioning and its own private terrace with stunning views to the La Muela hillside and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Back to the open plan dining room, an archway leads into a room which originally was the kitchen of House 2 (plumbing is still inserted in the walls and could easily be reverted into a kitchen. This room is currently used as a cloakroom. From this room to the left an archway leads to a second lounge, with log burner, and a door out to the front of the property. Continuing through the lounge and arch leads into a small hallway which in turn leads to the 2 ground floor bedrooms and a family shower room. One of the bedrooms is particularly large, with wood-burning stove, air-conditioning unit and door out to a private walled courtyard with direct access to the front of the house.
