Single-level living with two hundred and sixty square metres of built area

Two hundred and sixty square metres of built area divided between only two bedrooms is an unusually generous proportion for this coast. This resale 2 bedroom detached villa in Manilva is arranged entirely on a single level, meaning there are no stairs to navigate inside the home and each room takes a much larger footprint than in a standard modern layout.

How the single floor works

An entrance hall separates the front door from the main living room, which includes a fireplace. The dining area flows seamlessly into the fully fitted kitchen. Both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, so there is no shared bathroom and guests have their own facilities. Because the floor area is normally what a builder would use for a three or four-bedroom house, a buyer should look at the floor plan on viewing to see how the proportions work for their needs, and whether two bedrooms are enough for the long term.

A thousand square metres of land and a south-facing terrace

The house sits on a 1,076 square metre plot with open views to the surrounding mountains. Outside the main rooms, a 113 square metre terrace faces south, which gives the outdoor areas and the main rooms direct sun from morning until late afternoon. The garden includes a private swimming pool and a section planted with mature fruit trees. Within the grounds, there is also a separate storage room and a parking area large enough to hold several vehicles off the road. A plot of this size gives genuine separation from neighbouring homes, though a buyer will need to factor in the upkeep of the fruit trees, the garden and the private pool.

Countryside setting and driving times

This 2 bedroom detached villa in Manilva sits in the countryside outside the town centre, so daily errands require a car. The village of Manilva is three minutes away by car for immediate necessities. The coast and the nearest beach take seven minutes to reach, which is the same driving time to the larger coastal town of San Luis de Sabinillas. For wider shopping and hospital services, Estepona is fifteen minutes away along the coast road, Marbella is thirty-five minutes away, and Málaga Airport is roughly a sixty-minute drive.
