Duplex in Santopetar, Huercal-Overa

This deceptively spacious two-storey village house sits in the welcoming village of Santopetar, between Huércal-Overa and Taberno. Two bar-restaurants are within walking distance, and vans deliver bread, fish and frozen foods. It suits buyers who want a large home with only a modest amount of outside space and who would enjoy being part of a friendly mix of Spanish and expat neighbours. A quiet lane runs along the front and is used mainly by neighbours, because a bypass keeps through traffic out of the village.

On the ground floor, an entrance hall opens into a spacious living and dining room, with a large kitchen next to it. Further on are a bathroom, a small storage room and the garage. A wide stairway leads from the living room to the landing. Upstairs are three very large double bedrooms, each with its own balcony and country views, and a large family bathroom. A door from the landing opens onto a small Andalusian-style courtyard terrace. Mains electricity, water, sewerage and internet are all connected, and some of the furniture is available by negotiation.

Primary features:

• 3 large double bedrooms, each with a balcony and country views
• 2 bathrooms
• Spacious living and dining room with a large kitchen
• Garage and storage room
• Private Andalusian courtyard terrace
• 140 m² built area, with all mains services and internet connected

Huércal-Overa is a thriving market town about 10 minutes' drive away. It has a hospital, supermarkets, plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, and sports facilities, and its street market is held every Monday and Thursday. The pretty village of Taberno, around 5 minutes away, has a chemist, doctors, a school and a Friday market. The beaches at Vera, Garrucha, Mojácar and San Juan de los Terreros are 40 to 45 minutes away by car.
