AX1281 – Casa Dos Arcos, house in country hamlet, near Canillas de Aceituno

6 bedrooms – 3 bathrooms – 3 terraces – garage – 372m2 in total – country and hamlet views – 15 minutes from Canillas de Aceituno – 30 mins to coast

Country house in a small country hamlet divided into a main house on 2 floors in excellent condition with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a separate lower apartment requiring light renovation to make 2 bedrooms and 1 to 2 bathrooms, plus a lower garage with two store rooms.

This lovely property, consisting of 372m2 of house, is located in a small rural hamlet, or small cluster of houses, to the South of the village of Canillas de Aceituno.  It is around 15 minutes drive to Canillas and 20 minutes drive to Velez-Malaga/coast.

In terms of outside space, this house has three terraces, two of which are open terraces and one covered.

The main house is in immaculate condition.  The front door leads into a spacious living room (7.5 x 3.5m including staircase and fireplace) with a wide arch to the end wall leading through to the dining room (4 x 3m).  To the left of the dining room is a downstairs bedroom (3 x 2.5m) with a window to the street and to the right is the fully fitted kitchen (3 x 2m) with a door to the bathroom (3 x 2m) and a door to a kitchen store cupboard (2 m2).

From the dining room is access also to the covered terrace (3 x 3.5m) with views over the houses in the hamlet and the countryside beyond.  From here also are steps leading up to the upstairs terrace (3 x 2m) with two wide arches with views.

Taking the stairs in the living room leads to a landing area.  There are two bedrooms at the top of the stairs (10m2 and 9m2) and a bathroom in front (2 x 1.5m – no shower at present but there is space to add one), and beyond is the main bedroom (4 x 3m).  It would be easy to add a door from two of the upstairs bedrooms leading out to the upstairs terrace.

Below the main house, a little further down the hill, is the lower apartment.  Double doors lead through to a living room (5 x 3.5m) with a further room beyond (4 x 3.5m).  To the left of the living room is a door to the kitchen (3.5 x 3m) and to the left of the rear living room area is access to the bedroom (3.5 x 2.5m) and ensuite bathroom (3.5 x 1.5m). It would be perfectly possible to use the space to offer 2 bedrooms in this apartment.  Outside, by the front door, are steps leading up to a private open terrace (3.5 x 3m).

A little further down the street, adjoining and partly below the apartment, is the garage, a large space of around 35m2, with space enough for a car plus two storage areas beyond.

This property is ideal as a spacious country home for anyone wishing to be a part of a local community, inland but not too far from the coast and a large town, and possibly with space to let to tourists or as a long term rental.
