More outdoor space than indoor, with direct lift access

Sea views stretch out from all the terraces of this 1 bedroom penthouse in Manilva. The outdoor space here is slightly larger than the built area itself, giving a modest flat the footprint of a much larger home when the weather is dry. It is a resale property sold fully furnished and with a tourist licence already in place, within walking distance of both the sand beaches and the local shops.

Inside the 56 m² built area

With a built area of 56 m² and a single bedroom and bathroom, the layout is compact by necessity. The living area is connected to a fitted kitchen that already holds the main white goods: fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and microwave. A sofa bed in the main room allows two extra people to sleep over, though with one bathroom shared between everyone, the flat works best for a couple with occasional short-stay guests rather than four adults for a fortnight. A notable feature for a property of this size is the personal lift to access the penthouse, cutting out stairs between the ground and the front door.

The terrace and what the community includes

Outside, the 61 m² of terrace divides the living areas from the coastline, with sea views from each outdoor section. Having more square metres outside than in means there is room for dining tables and loungers without crowding the doorway. The building sits within a monitored and secure gated complex with communal gardens and parking. Instead of a single shared basin, the grounds hold separate adults' and children's pools, which keeps the main swimming water quieter during school holidays.

Walking to the beach and what to verify

Being within walking distance to the beach and local amenities in Manilva removes the daily need for a car, even though parking is included. When viewing this 1 bedroom penthouse in Manilva, check how the personal lift is maintained and whether its servicing sits under the community quota or a private contract. It is also worth walking the route to the beach yourself to gauge the gradient on the way back, and asking for the exact inventory list to confirm every piece of furniture and kitchen appliance stays at completion.
