Luxury here in abundance and CENTRAL HEATING IN EVERY ROOM FOR THE COLD WINTER NIGHTS in the larger property.ESSENTIAL IN THIS PART OF SPAIN IN THE WINTER MONTHS !!
THE CORTIJO:
The entrance to the main house is through the front of the house directly into a lovely dining room with a fabulous table and 6 chairs. To the left is a large airy kitchen with a small table and chairs, double drainer sink, fridge freezer, gas cooker and oven and a dish washer. All cupboards and drawers are soft closing. Plenty of lighting and a music centre to play your ipod. To the other side of the dining area is a small comfortable lounge with two 2-seater settees and a lovely old coffee table inbetween. To the right of the dining area is a door leading into the "quiet/reading room" area where you can relax in the cool with a good book if you have had too much sun.
Through this room and out into a corridor where there is a downstairs shower room with basin and WC and heated towel rail. Up the corridor is the room housing the washing machine. A staircase leads up to a double bedroom with chest of drawers, wardrobe and shelving. All beautifully decorated and airy.
Back downstairs between the dining area and kitchen is the main staircase that leads to a lovely landing area which again has been tastefully decorated and has an arm chair with table beside. Here you will find the bathroom and 2 further bedrooms.
One bedroom is quite staggering and has two large single beds that can be adapted into a kingsize bed. Lovely linen on all beds as you would expect of a house of this cabilbre using soft colours throughout. There is also a wardrobe, chest of drawers and shelving. Very light and pretty room and has the original beam across keeping the original character.
The bathroom is off the landing and has a bath, walking in shower and a "his and hers" basin unit, plus the WC. Modern, clean and lots of storage space.
The second bedroom is the master double bedroom with its own juliet balcony overlooking the pool and hills beyond. A really luxurious bedroom with that "wow" factor - with a lovely double bed, freestanding mirror and sofa apart from the wardrobe and chest of drawers and soft tranquil lighting.
Do remember that ALL ROOMS HAVE CENTRAL HEATING if you should need it. THIS HOUSE IS FOR RENTAL ALL YEAR ROUND.
