CHARMING OLD HOUSE - LARGE PATIO GARDEN, GUEST ANNEX, PLUNGE POOL, UPPER TERRACE WITH STUNNING VIEWS
This enchanting village property with its distinctive ‘cobbled’ façade, is located in a pretty tree-lined street leading up to the church and castle. This is one of the oldest houses in Gaucín and is brimming with authentic Andalusian character, old world charm and quirkiness.
The property is in the heart of the village, a short walk away from a selection of shops, tapas bars and several high-quality restaurants. On-street parking is available nearby.
The house has been stylishly renovated by its English owners over the last decade, who have created a very desirable home with a welcoming homely ambience and a unique blend of Andalusian and Moorish features, nooks & crannies! Most rooms have oak beamed ceilings & terracotta floor tiles. The accommodation surrounds the delightful patio garden with several terraces and a plunge pool. As well as the main house, there is a separate guest annex and a roof terrace with spectacular views.
