AX1153 – Casa Antonia, village house to restore with courtyard, Velez-Malaga

2 bedrooms (could be more), space for bathroom – living room – walled courtyard patio – excellent location – easy nearby parking or park within the walled courtyard  

A little house just outside the centre of the historic town of Velez-Malaga, needing complete restoration – could be very beautiful, with a walled patio garden

With the cost of apartments now rising within easy access of the coast, a sensible and exciting alternative is to purchase a village house with a garden and renovate.  Casa Antonia is just such an opportunity, in a town just 5 minutes from the coast.

The house, which is on the corner of two streets, currently consists a ground floor area of around 80m2 (the house is 95m2 with the thick stone walls included) and sits on a plot of 187m2, within a walled courtyard.  There is a garage door to allow vehicles to drive into the courtyard.

As this property is on urban land, it would not be difficult to obtain planning permission to build on a second floor, doubling the inside space without affecting the outside space.  Or, a simple 2 bed house on one level, beautifully restored, would also work well.   A reliable local builder has quoted approximately 50,000 Euros to restore the house and possibly extend it on ground floor level.

The approximate room sizes in its unrenovated state are as follows:
Entrance hall, 3 x 2m, with doors to the left and right, each leading to a room (3.3 x 3m and 3 x 3m).  Ahead, an opening leads to a larger room (5 x 3m) with a door to a smaller room (3 x 3m).  Doors to the rear lead out to the patio (around 100m2).  There is another room joining the house and accessible from the patio (around 3.5 x 3m) and a smaller store room.

The roof is in reasonable condition, but would need checking, and there are some interesting original features.
