El Contador, Almería, Andalusia, Spain

This traditional townhouse is located in the rural hamlet of El Contador, near Chirivel. The huge 2-storey property measures over 200m² and sits within a generous plot of approx. 421m² with a large rear garden.

This charming home includes 2 huge bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms & dressing rooms, as well as a study off the master bedroom, a separate W/C on the ground floor, a dining room, a lounge/diner, a spacious split-level kitchen/diner and a workshop/storeroom.

The home has been lovingly restored and unique in its generous proportions and outside space. Upon approach, a formal front door from the quiet roadside opens into a formal reception hall. To the left is the ground floor bedroom; a very generous double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, dressing area and en-suite shower room. Straight ahead in the entrance hall, a door leads into a fantastic workshop/storeroom which boasts a log burning fire, sink and rear door out to the garden. This could easily be converted into another bedroom & en-suite bathroom. To the right is a door into the kitchen.

Back in the entrance hallway and on the right, a hallway leads to the stairs up to the first floor. Under the stairs is a W/C. Continuing straight ahead, there is a door into the long formal lounge with wooden flooring. This bright & spacious room has the benefit of three windows out to the street affording plenty of natural light. There is also a log burning fireplace. At the end of the lounge to the left, an archway opens into a dining area followed by another arch leading into a majestic split level modern kitchen. This fully fitted kitchen is an exceptional feature and boasts all appliances and granite worktops. To the right a glass door opens out to the rear garden. A step up in the middle of the kitchen leads to another area also fitted with matching units. Four steps from here then lead into the workshop/storeroom.

The rear garden is a splendid feature, and it is unusual for a garden of this size with a townhouse property. The land is classified as urban land so a swimming pool could be installed. The garden is mature with various trees and a pond feature was started in the corner but never finished.

The first floor of the property is home to a study/office area at the top of the stairs which flows into the enormous master bedroom. Traditional exposed ceiling beams highlight the Spanish charm & character. At the end of the bedroom is a walk-in dressing room, then a glass door opening into the en-suite shower room.

This property is registered under the municipality of Chirivel, but is located within the hamlet of El Contador with basic amenities including a general store, bar, weekly market and a restaurant. The town of Chirivel, just a few minutes´ drive away, boasts even more amenities, including a municipal outdoor swimming pool open from June to September.
