Cortijo Serval - A country house in the Purchena area. (Renovated)
Beautifully renovated 2 bedroom country house for sale in Almeria Province, situated in a stunning rural area with fantastic views, only 10 minutes walk from the local bar and 15 minutes from the traditional town of Oria. With a build size of around 246m2, this charming two storey semi-detached property is full of character with both traditional and unique features including exposed stonework, wooden beamed ceilings, decorative wooden features and mosaics.
From a quaint covered porch, the front door opens into a bright and spacious open plan living room with an Andalucian style kitchen / dining area to one end and lounge area to the other. A large wood burner sits between the kitchen & lounge areas, and provides sufficient heat for the whole house. In addition, in the lounge area, bi-folding wooden doors open to reveal a second wood burner set in the original fireplace.
Also on the ground floor is a fabulous shower room with a large walk-in fully tiled shower cubicle with seating and unique mosaic features, twin decorative ceramic basins set in a wooden unit, WC, bidet, and fitted wooden storage cupboards. Decorative doors open into a useful utility / storage room.
A tiled staircase with storage space under leads from the dining area up to the first floor landing. From here a sliding door opens into a cloakroom with toilet and basin, and an archway leads through to a good sized master bedroom which has a built-in wardrobe. The bedroom is fitted with air conditioning, and during the winter months is efficiently heated via the exposed pipe from the wood burner below. Leading off the master bedroom is a second double bedroom.
To the front of the house is a pretty patio with a wooden pergola and a lovely walled barbecue area - an ideal spot for alfresco dining whilst enjoying the views. To the side of the barbecue area, steps lead into a split level stone built workshop / storage room. There is also a large open fronted garage. A short walk from the house is a plot of land which would be ideal for growing vegetables.
The town of Oria offers all amenities including bars, restaurants, supermarkets, bakery, butchers, banks, medical centre, and pharmacy. There is also an outdoor municipal swimming pool which is open during the summer months, and a small market every Sunday morning. Oria is just under an hour from the coast, and around 1 hour 20 minutes from Almeria airport.
