Full Description

An attractive and spacious villa just 2 minutes walk from the shops, bars and restaurants of popular Laroque des Alberes. Attractively designed and well situated within its plot, the property is set back from the quiet road. Accessed via either one of two pedestrian gates or double car gate, a path and a driveway then lead through the garden up to the house where a parking area for 2-3 cars is in-front of a huge double garage with two up-and-over doors, behind the garage is a series of large rooms that are currently used as workshops and for storage but which could be transformed into usable accommodation, there is also a WC and shower here while the rooms all benefit from natural light. An internal staircase rises to the main accommodation on the floor above while to the right hand side of the garage there is an internal door giving on to the separate apartment: consisting independent kitchen, bathroom, WC, one bedroom and a lounge that gives out on to a secluded external terrace area to the side of the house. This unit could easily be treated as completely separate from the main house and either let independently or kept within the whole. The main part of the house is approached through the front garden via a path that leads up a couple of steps to the main door that gives-on to a wide entrance hall off which the lounge and kitchen are to be found in addition to a corridor that leads to the toilets, bathrooms and sleeping areas. The lounge boats cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and an inset feature fireplace plus two sets of double doors opening on to the rear garden, eating terrace featuring BBQ and swimming pool area; also in the lounge is a built-in wet bar that could easily be removed should the next owners wish to create more space. To the side of the lounge is the fully-fitted separate kitchen with more than enough room to take a table and 6 chairs, double French doors lead to the outside eating terrace while a side window looks out onto the garden. A corridor leads past a separate WC, a bathroom and a door that gives onto the internal staircase down to the flat below; opposite these is a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and large windows looking East along the Alberes Mountains. A short staircase leads up to a half landing with two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and separate WC; the larger of the two bedrooms boasts a roof terrace accessed via French doors. A further staircase leads up to the top floor of the house where a single bedroom and storage room are to be found. The garden wraps around the whole house and offers many different seating/entertaining areas, it is planted with a variety of well-established locally sourced plants including large palms and much Oleander. The swimming pool is approximately 10m x 5m and not overlooked, a sunbathing terrace lies to one side while there are numerous areas of garden that have been set to lawn. This property has newly replaced shutters on all the windows and, although usable straight away, would benefit from being redecorated and somewhat refreshed. It is well designed and in an excellent location – a great family home for permanent use or a sound buy-to-let investment.
