Almost as much outdoor space as indoor

One bedroom, one bathroom and a 62 m² built area make up the interior of this resale home, while outside sits a 54 m² terrace that nearly matches the footprint of the flat itself. Buyers looking at a 1 bedroom middle floor apartment in Estepona Golf, Estepona usually have to compromise on outdoor space unless they buy a ground floor or a penthouse, so finding this much private exterior area on an intermediate level changes how the property works day to day.

Inside the 62 square metres

With a single bedroom and one bathroom spread across 62 m² built, the rooms are proportioned for a solo resident or a couple rather than for hosting overnight guests. Because there is no second bedroom to absorb extra furniture or luggage, a buyer viewing this 1 bedroom middle floor apartment in Estepona Golf, Estepona should check the wardrobe capacity and where household items are kept. Being on a middle floor also means neighbours above and below, which avoids ground-level foot traffic and top-floor roof heat, though checking how the building handles sound between levels is always sensible on a viewing.

The 54 m² terrace and what the community includes

A south-east orientation brings morning and early afternoon sun onto the 54 m² terrace, while taking the direct glare off the outdoor area during the hottest part of a summer late afternoon. At 54 square metres, the terrace can hold a full dining table and loungers at the same time without having to move chairs out of the way to walk past. Downstairs, the residence provides a communal swimming pool and communal gardens, meaning the upkeep of the grounds and water is shared across the building rather than falling on the individual owner.

Questions for the viewing

Because the ratio of terrace to built area is the main reason to choose this specific unit over a standard flat, a viewing should focus on how the rooms connect to the outside and whether both the living room and bedroom open onto the terrace. It is also worth checking the privacy of the terrace from surrounding flats, and asking for the community rules on external blinds or awnings in case you want to shade part of that 54 m² expanse.
