Country house in Fuente Amarga, Huercal-Overa

A characterful semi-detached country house in the pretty hamlet of Fuente Amarga, offering privacy, lovely countryside views and a 970 m² plot. With 337 m² built and a collection of traditional outbuildings, it is ideal for buyers wanting a renovation project with real potential. The house is habitable, with mains water and electricity connected, but needs a new kitchen and bathroom. Internet and satellite TV can easily be added.

The entrance opens into a lounge/dining room with a feature fireplace. Off this are three downstairs rooms, one reached through another, plus a bathroom and a hallway with a former small kitchen and an under-stairs cupboard. Upstairs, two large rooms, previously used for storage, could become bedrooms, although the roof may need raising. To one side sit the old Spanish external kitchen and bread oven. Former animal buildings could become part of the house, separate accommodation or a carport. A further building of approximately 74 m² at the rear would need full rebuilding. The two-level garden wraps around the house, with parking for several cars and a safe communal parking area.

Primary features:

• 4 bedrooms (potential), 1 bathroom
• 337 m² built on a 970 m² plot
• Feature fireplace and traditional bread oven
• Outbuildings with conversion potential
• Room for a pool
• Mains water and electricity
