Description
This villa in El Chaparral, Mijas Costa, offers a substantial refurbishment opportunity. It comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 318 m² of usable area and a 1,074 m² plot. Set on a quiet one-way road in the original El Chaparral urbanisation, the property is close to the sea and golf. The beach is approximately a seven-minute walk away.
Built in 1998 to British specifications, the villa has cavity walls that help keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. It is in very good structural condition, with no damp issues, and is currently fully liveable, although it requires updating. A tourist licence is in place.
The main living area consists of a lounge and dining room, kitchen and study. The open-plan lounge and dining room open onto a large covered terrace through sliding doors and windows. The room has air conditioning and an open wood-burning fireplace with a chimney flue backing onto the kitchen, helping to warm the living areas in winter. The kitchen is fully functional, although dated, and leads to a covered porch and open terrace receiving morning sun through to the late afternoon.
All bedrooms are generously proportioned. The master bedroom has a full wall of wardrobes with louvred doors and an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Two further bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom with a bath and shower. There is also a guest cloakroom.
The separate guest apartment occupies the upper part of the property and includes an independent bedroom, bathroom with bath and shower, kitchenette and covered terrace enclosed with glass curtains. It can be accessed from the parking area via a side entrance and through sliding doors at the rear of the villa. The apartment has been used as independent accommodation and could alternatively be incorporated into the main house to create a master suite or two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
The property also includes a garage with an electric gate, covered pergola, parking area and storage/workshop space. The entrance is secured by electric gates and a separate pedestrian gate. The swimming pool has a functioning electric cover.
The established garden requires some attention and contains a variety of plants, shrubs and fruit trees, including fig, pomegranate, apple, pear, apricot and lemon trees. A mature grape vine grows over the pergola beside the house. Although the garden and pool face north-west, they receive sunshine throughout the day, with shaded areas available during the summer.
