Townhouse in Sabinillas, Manilva

This 1960s townhouse sits in the heart of San Luis de Sabinillas on a pedestrian street, less than 50 metres from the sea, the beach and the seafront promenade. It is unfurnished and in need of renovation, which makes it a strong project for buyers looking for a permanent home, a holiday base or a rental investment.

The ground floor currently holds a 75 m² apartment with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. The first floor has a private, uncovered 25 m² terrace and an additional room, spread over an area equal to the ground floor. The south-east orientation brings good natural light, and the outlook is over the street and the town.

The real appeal is the potential. Local planning regulations allow two further floors of 75 m² each, plus a top-floor space of around 30 m². That opens the way to three independent apartments and a studio, or two apartments and a generous duplex.

• Two bedrooms and one bathroom
• Private 25 m² south-east facing terrace
• Pedestrian street, under 50 metres from the beach

Sabinillas is the lively coastal heart of Manilva, on the western Costa del Sol. It has a long sandy beach, a seafront promenade lined with cafés and restaurants, and a genuine Andalusian character that stays busy all year round. Shops, schools and transport links are all close by, and Puerto de la Duquesa marina is nearby. Estepona, Marbella and Gibraltar are within easy reach, and the mild climate makes this a popular choice with British buyers.
