Valencia, Valencia, Oliva, Spain

A fantastic, versatile property which has been renovated to a high standard, whilst retaining many original features, yet still offers lots of potential. The large plot is flat and fully fenced, where you'll find approximately 500 orange trees, as well as other fruit trees. It's an ideal property for those wishing to be self-sufficient, with plenty of land for chickens and vegetable gardens. The property is supplied with free water from a deep borehole.

The current owners have run a successful kennel business from the property for many years, and so the property would be perfect for animal lovers requiring that safe, space for their animals.

The property is accessed via a long drive, with parking opposite the main entrance, through wrought iron gates and into the front courtyard. Throughout the property you will notice lots of original features - exposed stone walls, barrelled ceilings, solid wood doors, stone alcoves. The tiled floors, although not original, have been carefully chosen to complement the original style of the house.

A pleasant entrance hall welcomes you into the house, from where you can access the lounge, and to the rear a useful cloakroom and boot room. The lounge is very spacious and allows for several seating areas, stairs from the lounge lead to the first floor. Through double doors you'll enter an inner hallway and the dining area. The dining area is perfectly situated next to the kitchen, with plenty of space for a large table and chairs, and also has access to the delightful inner Moroccan style courtyard.

The kitchen is perfection, with an excellent range of fitted units and appliances, and has the benefit of an adjoining utility room. A large breakfast room area adjoins the kitchen, and this again gives access to the inner courtyard.

Further along the hallway you'll find a large sitting room / conservatory, with glazed doors giving views and access to the terrace and swimming pool on one side, and the garden and summer kitchen on the other. On the ground floor you'll also find a good sized family bathroom.

On the first floor a galleried landing leads to all four bedrooms, and to a super terrace. The three double bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes and aircon. A large family bathroom serves these bedrooms. The wonderful master suite has a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and a modern bathroom complete with bath, walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit. Off the galleried landing, a quirky little reading nook leads up to the tower, from where you'll appreciate more amazing views over the orange groves and mountains.

Back to the ground floor and the outside space. A tiled swimming pool, 8 x 4m, is surrounded by a large terrace, with several pergolas providing plenty of shade. Of course privacy is not an issue as there are no near neighbours. To the other side, a manicured garden and covered summer kitchen await you, complete with a fire-pit.

An adjoining barn currently houses a large workshop and storage area, and access to a first floor room with two rooms, one is currently used as a gym and the other a craft room, but this would make a spacious guest suite, separate from the main house. A garage provides parking for one vehicle, and there is also parking for more vehicles in front of the barn.

The kennels and cattery buildings are situated out of sight, to the rear and side of the house. A reception area for clients also has a food prep and laundry area.
