This property, situated in the lovely town of Castillo de Locubin, would make the ideal purchase for someone looking for a project. It is in need of a complete reform meaning it can be finished to your own taste and style.
The property has 2 floors. Downstairs there is a wide hallway entrance, room for a kitchen with a fireplace, a sitting room, bathroom, storage and access to a patio area. The patio needs cleaning and rubbish taken away but would be a nice area once this is done. There is also another room which could become a dining room or bedroom once reformed.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and the opportunity to create a roof terrace which would have lovely views. Some of the wooden beams from the property may be able to be restored if you wish to keep some of the original features.
We would advise any potential buyer, who is not a professional renovator or builder, to employ the services of a local surveyor or architect who can not only give you a full condition report but also find out regarding the possibility of any townhall grants available for such a renovation project.
The town offers all the amenities you need including restaurants, bars, shops and banks. There is also a public outdoor swimming pool open in the summer.
