Renovated fourth-floor apartment with a 67-square-metre terrace

A 67-square-metre terrace gives this fourth-floor flat half as much space again outside as it has indoors. This 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Guadalmina Alta belongs to the Campos de Guadalmina development, next to the Barceló Hotel, and comes to the market following a recent renovation. It is sold fully furnished and equipped, which removes the wait and uncertainty of fitting out a second home from scratch.

Inside the 130-square-metre built area

The layout covers a 130-square-metre built area where the wall between the kitchen and the main room has been removed to create a single open-plan kitchen and living room. That choice puts the cook in the same room as everyone else and brings light further back into the flat, though it leaves nowhere to shut away cooking noise or dishes. All three bedrooms have a dedicated bathroom: two of the three bathrooms are en suite, while the third sits separately and doubles for guests. For three couples or a family with older children, having one bathroom per bedroom stops the morning queue. Because the renovation is already done and the furniture is in place, a buyer should check the property carefully during a viewing.

The terrace and what the community includes

At 67 square metres, the outdoor space is big enough to divide into separate zones for a full dining table, loungers, and planted pots without having to move chairs out of the way to walk past. The flat faces northeast, an orientation that takes the morning sun and leaves the terrace in shade through the hottest hours of a summer afternoon. Buyers who want winter afternoon sun on the terrace should weigh that up against the relief of a cooler outdoor room in July and August. Downstairs, an underground parking space is included, keeping the car cool and off the street. The wider Campos de Guadalmina community holds eight swimming pools, communal gardens, a children's playground, and private security. Having eight pools spread across the grounds means residents are less likely to compete for space in August than in a single-pool block, though it also means a substantial set of communal facilities maintained through the community quota.

Walking distance to San Pedro Alcántara and the golf course

Most complexes in the upper part of Guadalmina require a car for a loaf of bread, yet this 3 bedroom middle floor apartment in Guadalmina Alta sits within walking distance of the centre of San Pedro Alcántara as well as the golf course. Being next to the Barceló Hotel places it on the lower edge of the golf valley where pavements connect back into the town. Someone living here can walk to the golf club in the morning or into San Pedro for errands without taking the car out of the underground garage.
