Village house with large 120m² patio and garden for sale in Charilla, near Alcalá la Real, Jaén

This is a great opportunity to purchase a spacious village property with a large patio and garden of approximately 120m², located in the attractive village of Charilla, just a short drive from the historic town of Alcalá la Real in Jaén province.

The property has a plot size of 200m² and approximately 166m² of built space. It does require some renovation, structural repairs and updating, but it is currently habitable and offers plenty of potential for the new owners to create a spacious family home, holiday property or investment project.

The house is located close to a village square, where there is plenty of space for parking, adding to the convenience of the property.

On the ground floor, you enter into a hallway. To the right is a good-size fitted kitchen with useful pantry and to the left is a lounge.

At the end of the hallway is another large room with a traditional fireplace. This flexible space could be converted into a second lounge, a dining room, an additional bedroom or adapted to suit the needs of the new owners. From here, you have access out to the real bonus of the property — the large 120m² patio and garden area. This generous outside space offers plenty of possibilities. There is room to create a beautiful garden filled with flowers, plants and fruit trees, as well as space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Subject to any necessary permissions, there could also be potential to install a swimming pool, barbecue area or outdoor kitchen.

Upstairs, there are four large rooms, all offering further potential for conversion. These could be transformed into additional bedrooms, bathrooms, living accommodation or other useful spaces, depending on the requirements of the new owners.

With a generous plot, a large amount of built accommodation and excellent outside space, this property would make an interesting project for someone looking to create a substantial home in a traditional Andalusian village. It could also appeal to investors looking for a renovation project with plenty of potential.
