Villa for sale in Purchena, Almería

A surprisingly bright and airy, move-in-ready village house in the heart of Purchena, just a short walk from the main plaza. In our opinion, this is a well-priced property offering four bedrooms, a spacious cellar/bodega and two terraces, ideal for enjoying the 300+ days of sunshine southern Spain is famous for.

Upon entering the property, the lounge is on the left, alongside the kitchen. The two rooms are separated by what appears to be a non-structural wall, potentially allowing for an attractive open-plan kitchen and dining area, subject to confirmation.

The property benefits from a ground-floor toilet and a family bathroom upstairs, complete with a bidet and a bath with shower.

The spacious basement cellar/bodega provides excellent additional storage space. The walls are structurally sound, although the existing render would benefit from updating. Traditionally, lime mortar was used in the construction of these houses, but with the introduction and affordability of cement, cement-based renders became more common. Replacing the existing render with a suitable lime-based finish would allow the walls to breathe more naturally and help regulate moisture, reducing the risk of damp-related smells.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. In traditional Spanish style, two of the bedrooms are accessed through another bedroom. If all four bedrooms are not required, this layout offers an opportunity to create walk-in wardrobes in one or both of the rooms, subject to your requirements.

Outside, there are two terraces offering space to relax and enjoy the Spanish sunshine. The first is a secluded terrace on the upper floor. Its surface slopes from left to right, following the ceiling profile of the bedroom below and allowing for water drainage. A floating deck could provide an attractive outdoor living area, ideal for a table and chairs or lounge.

Steps lead from here to the rooftop terrace, a real sunbather’s paradise with plenty of potential for enjoying the outdoor lifestyle.
