Townhouse for sale in Torrox Pueblo, Torrox, Málaga

This is a compact single-storey home in Torrox Pueblo, arranged so that the living space opens straight onto an unusually generous walled patio of around 57 square metres. The outdoor area is larger than the house itself, which gives the property a very different feel from its footprint on paper.

Inside, the living room and dining area run together as one open space, with a fitted kitchen off to one side and a separate study that works equally well as a home office or a quiet room away from the main living area. The bedroom sits at the front of the house with its own fitted wardrobe, and there is a shower room alongside. A separate laundry room off the patio takes the utilities out of the kitchen, which is rarely the case at this size.

The patio has a storage room of around 5 square metres set into one corner, useful for garden furniture, bicycles or seasonal items. From the patio, a staircase leads up to a private rooftop deck of around 8 square metres, an additional outdoor spot with a different aspect from the terrace below.

The layout suits a lock-up-and-leave second home or a full-time base for one or two people, with the practical advantage that everything is on one level. Torrox Pueblo remains one of the most characterful villages on this stretch of coast, with shops, bars and the weekly market all within walking distance and the beaches at Torrox Costa a short drive away.
