Casa Del Carmen is a charming and spacious one bedroom property of 58m2 constructed area situated in a quiet non-through street in the higher part of Gaucin known as the Barrio del Carmen. The property was renovated in 1997 and presents its original, deceptively small facade to the street while maximising the interior space and providing terraces on each of its two floors to make the most of the views over the village to the Straits of Gibraltar and Morocco.

The front door is set in a massively thick wall and opens to a small landing in the full height hall from which four steps lead down to the lower floor and main living space and a short staircase leads up to the landing which provides access to the bathroom and to the bedroom and terrace.

The property features Spanish clay tiled floors throughout, oak beams and attractive varnished chestnut planks form the internal roof construction and an open fireplace with free-standing wood stove to give cheer and warmth on winter evenings. In the main living room downstairs and the bedroom upstairs, french windows frame the remarkable views and give access to the open terraces.

The kitchen counters and breakfast bar are constructed from local materials, the countertops are tiled with marble inserts and the kitchen is provided with a four burner gas hob, extractor hood, electric oven and grill, fridge, washing machine, double sink and wall cupboards.

The bathroom is fully tiled and is equipped with a full-length bath and wall-mounted shower head over, basin and wc. Hot water is provide by an electric immersion heater.

Two gas-fired balanced flue thermostatic heaters are fitted, one on each floor. These run on bottled gas and are more than adequate for dealing with any cold weather.

This house has been offered for holiday rental during the last twelve years and has given its owners a good income each year from its consistent performance. It is now offered for sale fully furnished and equipped with every item from bed-linen to barbecue and a sofa-bed for guests, and is in good structural and decorative order. This property has low running cost, is easy to maintain, and it offers a great opportunity to have a very affordable home abroad which you can easily "lock and leave" or enjoy the income from holiday rentals.

Offered at 100,000 sterling, freehold (Approx. €115,000)
