A classy timber breakfast bar with two stools sits at the other end of the kitchen leading into the formal dining area which has room for a large dining table. There is a quality pellet burner installed within the dining area and a rear glazed door which gives access to the enclosed rear courtyard. The wood effect glazed front and rear door plus four windows flood light into this smart living area. All of which are double glazed, and have fly screens fitted with the windows also having integrated roll down shutters. From the dining area there is an arched opening into a cosy lounge which also has the same style window bringing in light from the rear courtyard. From the lounge a door and two steps down lead into a bright passageway where you will find three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an open reception area which would make a great office/study. The bathroom has a full bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, plus a separate shower cubicle, vanity sink and toilet. The beautiful tiled hallway floor leads from the bathroom to two double bedrooms that have windows to the front of the house with views across the front patio to open countryside and the current main double bedroom which is to the rear of the house. Off the rear enclosed courtyard there is a two-storey building with a lounge with built fireplace (occasional bedroom), store area and a shower room. On the first floor there is another double bedroom with stable door and an en-suite shower room. All these rooms have windows for light and ventilation. Also off this sheltered courtyard are three separate secure caves which provide additional storage for garden tools, bikes etc. There is also a stairway off the courtyard leading onto a roof terrace which sits above the kitchen and dining area affording stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A small outbuilding directly outside the lockable from gates was removed by the current owners who gained planning permission to create a private parking space for one vehicle. Inside the gates there is a very large front patio with garden areas, olive trees and many plants. There are two steel -built pergolas with retractable shades providing two sitting/outside dining areas. The first is outside the main door to the cortijo and the at the end of the patio looking south towards to countryside leading to the coast of Salobrena. below this large terrace there is more pave terraced areas surrounded by wild flowers olive trees and include a young lemon tree. At the rear of the courtyard, above the caves the property is protected by natural stone giving shelter and privacy. Above the far outdoor dining area there is the main garden area which has been terraced and left, by the current owners, to return to wild. This has resulted in an array of wild flowers which have grown around the olive, almonds and a pomegranate tree. The construction of the main house has traditional thick walls. The lounge and the three bedrooms all have ceiling fans with lights. The whole property has been fully renovated by the current owners to a very high standard including new electrics, plumbing, insulation and double glazing throughout the main house. The Cortijo is connected to all mains services and has all up to date paperwork. It is accessed by car with private off-road parking and is just a seven-minute walk down into the town centre.
