Villa for sale in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra

With views of one of the Atlantic islands opposite, over the channel that runs between them and the mainland in Carríl, this splendid home has plenty of charm and has been sensitively restored and maintained. The home blends antiques and Indiana style architecture with modern touches and creature comforts. It also has seafront views of the water from most of the rooms and the upstairs terrace.

When we arrive at the property there is a pedestrian entrance guarded by large cast iron gates which guard a secret garden, a little haven with a ground-level pool, trees and plants creating privacy from the street, and space for a small car inside the entrance gate.

A ground floor terrace is home to an outdoor dining area by the pool, and from there we enter the house to the left, welcomed by a grand tiled hallway with a staircase constructed in marble to the right with a stucco and wallpaper combination on the wall.

The hallway leads us to a dining room and lounge to the left, both with plenty of natural light and windows facing west towards the sea. The lounge has a feature fireplace and an eclectic mix of furniture and materials. The hallway also takes us to a ground-level bedroom, an office, a remodelled bathroom and a contemporary fitted kitchen.

Up the marble steps to the first floor, we find four further bedrooms sharing two bathrooms, the main bedroom with a balcony that overlooks the sea.

The attic space has also been taken advantage of, currently being used as a relaxation room and spa area with jacuzzi.

There is a basement level which houses a utility room and a games room, as well as a door that exits the property to the rear.

There are some interesting period features, for example mouldings around the ceilings, and nice quality materials, a mix of woods and tile, and marble, perfect for anyone seeking a historic property by the sea, but with modern touches and with double glazing and central heating installed.

This property, which dates back to the 1950s, offers its owners a fantastic bolt-hole by the sea, but would also be perfect as a permanent residence, with the village of Carríl on the doorstep and the larger town of Villagarcia a 10-minute drive.
