Country house in Albox, Almería inland, Spain

EXCLUSIVE TO ALMERIA HOMES! Beautiful detached 4+ bedroom country house set in a large private and elevated plot with two garages, roof terrace, 60-80 olive trees and outstanding views over the surrounding mountain ranges. The current owners recently completed a big renovation on the first floor including all new flooring, pre-installation for central heating, LED down lighting, fully decorated, new double glazed windows with insect screens and a new bathroom which still needs to be finished off but this would be at the buyers expense. There have also been renovations to the rest of the property including nearly all of the windows being changed, painted inside and also painted outside along with other bits. The property is situated just a 1 minute walk (80 metres) from the village of Las Pocicas where there is a school, communal pool with a bar for the summer months, doctors office and a tobacconist / small shop. There are delivery vans which go to the village to deliver bottled gas, drinking water and bread. There is a small shop within a 2 minute drive (1.1kms) and a popular bar-restaurant within a 4 minute drive. Further down there is another village within a 7 minute drive (6.2kms) where you will find a bakery, pharmacy, doctor’s office, small shop, and two bar-restaurants. The large market town of Albox is a 13 minute drive (10.7kms) where you will find all of the necessary amenities for a day to day life. Leading up to the property double wrought iron gates open into a large driveway offering ample space to park several cars and even a motor home if necessary. On the left of the drive is an outbuilding which could be converted to create a shed. The driveway continues round to the front of the property where you will find a lovely partly covered seating area offering lovely views over the village and surrounding mountain ranges. On the left there is a utility room and next to this is access into a large garage (98m2) which provides ample space for storage and inside the garage there is a shower room along with a traditional open fire (this could be converted to create a large self contained apartment if necessary). On the right of the property there is a large fully enclosed and private garden area which could be transformed to create lovely seating areas, landscaped or used to create a BBQ and outside kitchen. This then gives way to the second garage (75m2) which again provides storage or parking space. There are further garden areas and the remainder of the land is set above the property and this is planted with somewhere between 60-80 olive trees and there is further land below and to the side of the house. The olive trees haven’t been maintained for 2 years but they are still productive. On the back of the house there is also a large solarium which is accessed from the back of the garage but the current owners have never used this space. If you wanted to have a pool installed there is ample space but it would have to be an above ground pool but there are ways to make them look like they are in ground pools with decking etc. To the front of the property a door opens into a huge kitchen which benefits from ample space for seating and dining, gas hob, extractor, integrated oven, integrated microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. Off the kitchen is a large open plan living-dining room which benefits from a ceiling fan, doors out to the front of the property and a wood burner. Off the dining area there is a shower room and a large double bedroom. On the other side of the room double glazed doors open into an inner hall which gives way to two large bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, and one with a walk in wardrobe. The hall also gives way to an Andalucian style room which gives access to the garden to the rear of the property and off this room is a cloak room (this could be used as a second living area or even used to create another bedroom if necessary). Back in the living room a staircase leads up to the first floor which as previously mentioned has recently been fully renovated. There is a large room which could be a living space and benefits from modern down lighting, pre-installation for central heating and a door leading out to a roof terrace offering fantastic views (this room could be split to create another bedroom). Off this room there is a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom which hasn’t been completed but you could create a stunning en-suite. This is an ideal property for anyone with a large family or someone looking for a business venture as you could create a fantastic B&B here.
