Unusual stone village house with big garden

From its upper terrace, which comes off an open-plan living space, the views stretch for 20 miles towards distant shimmering mountains and the skyline of the charming hill town of Ronda.

This is one of the last of its kind; a beautifully conserved traditional stone house, but with some stylish modern touches, making it comfortable all-year round. Conserving its metre-thick walls and its pretty pantile roof, it fits in perfectly with the local Andalucian vernacular. Barro-tiled floors, a log-burning stove, cool, stylish bedrooms, the master bedroom, ensuite with hydraulic-tiled sink, complete the picture.

Its unique selling point is its lovely shady garden which comprises a pair of centenario olive trees, a mature fig tree and rambling vine, full of grapes in late summer.

This was once where the animals would have been kept, and there is an option to put an alberca-style plunge pool.

The house comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan kitchen with all the modern appliances. In a street named after a famous Spanish writer, it is an extremely friendly neighbourhood with many shops within 50 metres. You are just ten minutes to Ronda, five to Setenil de las Bodegas and 45 minutes to the coast.
