description

This stunning three bedroom, detached house with land, is situated on the outskirts of the village of Alcutar. This and the neighbouring village, Bérchules are within walking distance, has all the amenities needed for everyday living.   The current owners have totally reformed the property to an extremely high standard whilst keeping it in character with the local area. There is parking and access by car although some of the streets are a little narrow.   There are three entrances to the house, one at street level to the first floor, the other two are at the rear, on the ground floor level. One entrance leads directly into the farmhouse style kitchen. This has fitted wooden base and wall units and a range style cooker. Through here is the large sitting/dining room having a feature stone wall with arches leading to a cosy snug/sitting room. This room is cool in the summer and has a wood burner for the cooler winter nights. At the other end of the main living area is another arch leading to a spacious hall giving access to the stairs and having a storage cupboard.   The first floor has a wide landing off which are the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The spacious bathroom is fully tiled and has a corner shower cubicle and a bathtub. The main bedroom is large having a four post bed, free standing furniture, door to the terrace and an ensuite bathroom. The ensuite has a bathtub with shower over. The second bedroom is again spacious with room for a double bed and a day bed. The smallest bedroom is still a good size double.   The upper terrace has spectacular views along the valley and the surrounding mountains. It is partly covered and is the full width of the property. The lower terrace is also partly covered and has a stone stairway leading down to a beautiful lawned garden.   The rest of the land is in very good condition, some grassed and some terraced, with a variety of trees and shrubs, mainly surrounded by trees offering privacy and some lovely secluded spots. There is also a renovated building that used to house animals, this is now used for storage but would be a wonderful summerhouse.   The property has feature beamed ceilings throughout, central heating and some wonderful antique furniture. All mains services are connected.    If you don’t know this area well, why not take a look at our exposure guide on the Alpujarras in the Area Guide section above (next to Overview).
