Description
Jimena DLF 3 bed plus attic
Fabulous opportunity to develop and reform this town house offering an exceptionally large area of urban outdoor space. Ostensibly, this is a 2 storey property. There are also a few steps leading down to the garden area where there are 2 further rooms with flagstone floors. Plus, there is a garage accessible from the adjoining street. There is a green garden area with orange tree and the rest of the outdoor space is paved. The views bring instant tranquillity to even the most restless soul. A very special opportunity. The build size is 374 m2 and the plot measures 449 m2. This is arguably the best road in Jimena DLF and we have never before seen this amount of fully legal urban garden space in this zone.
Grand Old Property
This is an old property that offers such terrific potential. You walk through the big double doors and enter into a wide hallway flanked by two bedrooms which lead to further rooms including the kitchen and bathroom. There is a further bathroom outside the back door. The whole first floor, with its splendid arches, is a blank canvas. But perhaps the most exciting part of this property is the amount of outdoor space. Usually, in these mountain villages, the properties were built without much regard to garden space because they were surrounded by hills and land. Remember, this property is over four hundred and forty metres squared, of which one hundred and eighteen square meters are built on the ground floor. The upper floor with sweeping arches is completely untouched and measures around 120 m2. Plus, there are 2 outhouse type structures and the rest is dedicated to a patio. There is so much possibility here.
Perfectly Habitable
It is possible to live here while you add your own personal touches. There is such a lot of outdoor space that it is possible to add terraces on the first floor, and ground floor and include a swimming pool and landscaped gardens. The result will be spectacular. As mentioned, there are two buildings that serve as storage and one could be an annex for guests. In fact, in the olden days a whole family did in fact live in this abode. Hard to imagine, but true. In addition, the garage could be incorporated into the property itself and the garage roof used as a wonderful raised terrace.
Upstairs is a blank canvas. The roof needs re-tiling – currently it is uralite, but in good condition. This composite material is legal and was popular in the 1970’s. However, it is something that we recommend replacing.
Dual Access to the Property
There is the option of access via the rear lane to the garden and garage area, or entrance via the front road. It is possible to park the car, walk up a few steps and you are in the kitchen and unloading your shopping. Very convenient. Part of the outdoor area is a vegetable patch with orange tree and part of this is paved patio and terrace. Every day the construction on the coast expands more and more and the countryside beckons louder and louder. Traditionally, as mentioned, small village architecture does not focus on private outdoor space because they lived in the heart of the country side. As a result, most historic town houses do not have the land to develop the way we want. Our ‘ideal’ includes pools, water features, a garden and incredible views. Fabulously, all that is possible here.
