Villa for sale in Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra

With views of one of the Atlantic islands opposite, this splendid home has plenty of charm and has been sensitively restored and maintained. The home blends antiques and mid-20th century architecture with modern touches and creature comforts, and is blessed with 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. From there we enter the house to the left, welcomed by a quite 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, office, 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 boasting the 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, a games room, and a door which exits the property to the rear.

There are some interesting period features, for example the mouldings around the ceilings, and nice quality materials: a mix of woods and tile, and marble. It is perfect for anyone seeking a historic property by the sea, with modern touches, 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.
