description

Located in a quiet and secure residential area on the outskirts of Pontevedra city centre, this detached family home sits in attractive gardens, and boasts a large pool and tennis court. An American-style design, the house has an interesting angled design which takes full advantage of the south-facing orientation, allowing the majority of the living spaces and the terrace to benefit from sunlight throughout the day. On arrival, the gated entrance leads us down a driveway to the side of the house and to the garage, which is good for three or four cars with ease. Upon entering through the main doorway, we find an entrance lobby leading to an open-plan layout, with a logical design that allows us to access the living area and dining room, and kitchen, easily through a distribution that takes us between the living areas as a circuit. There is a marble floor present throughout the ground floor and the property exudes quality. Natural light has been prioritised and the large kitchen features no less than four windows, creating a pleasant and airy place to spend time. Down a few steps to the lounge area, with open fire, and a covered terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. Circling around and up a couple of steps, we find ourselves in a spacious dining area for the family or dinner parties. Also on this floor we find an office, a guest bathroom and a small bedroom, with its own bathroom, intended for service staff or guests. A grand marble staircase winds its way up to the first floor, where there is a gym in the landing area, separating the bedrooms at either end. To the left, a hall leads us to two double bedrooms, with a shared bathroom featuring a corner bath. Then there is a double bedroom, en-suite with a bath. Crossing the landing to the other end of the house, we are welcomed by a private suite, with walk-in-wardrobe, bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, and a very spacious double bedroom. All the bedrooms are of an ample size, with parquet flooring in excellent condition and fitted wardrobes. There is also an attic room, currently for storage, but could make a great playroom for larger families. Outside there are mature, sculpted gardens with a variety of trees including tall palms and flowering bushes, lawned areas and a swimming pool which catches the sunlight until dusk. There is a convenient pool house with barbecue area and showers, helping cater for those long summer afternoons with family and friends. At the rear of the garden and down a few steps there is an additional plot which contains a tennis court. At the basement level, as well as the large garage, there is a games / cellar room with pool and table tennis tables, and the machine room which holds a well-serviced oil-fired central heating boiler. This property benefits from its own water source, having two separate wells, plus mains water and drainage for the best of both worlds. This property would suit a large or growing family who want to live in the Pontevedra area, close to the city and the nearby beaches of the Pontevedra estuary.
