A 240 square metre house with a basement garage and divided outdoor areas

Two hundred and forty square metres of built area and 30 square metres of terrace define the scale of this resale property. This 4 bedroom 3 bathroom semi-detached house in Cancelada is set up for full-time occupation rather than brief holiday stays, combining a basement garage with several distinct outdoor areas.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and built-in storage

Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms mean comfortable family living. Fitted wardrobes are already installed, so floor space is not lost to freestanding cupboards. One of the four bedrooms opens onto its own private terrace, separating it from the rest of the sleeping quarters and giving one occupant or couple an independent outdoor corner away from the main family areas.

How the 30 square metres of outdoor space are divided

Rather than a single slab of paving, the exterior is split into four distinct areas: a porch, a terrace with a barbecue, a sun deck and the private bedroom terrace. Thirty square metres shared across these zones means each one has a specific job rather than providing an expansive lawn. The porch gives shelter by the entrance, the barbecue terrace handles outdoor cooking and dining, and the sun deck is set aside for direct light. Because the areas are separate, two people can use the outside of the house at the same time without sitting on top of each other.

The basement garage and practical storage

A garage in the basement handles both parking and household storage. Having this space below the house keeps a car off the street and out of the summer heat, while leaving room for bicycles, tools and bulky luggage that would otherwise clutter the rooms upstairs. For a buyer comparing a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom semi-detached house in Cancelada with a large apartment, this underground utility area is often the deciding factor.

What to check when viewing in Cancelada

Cancelada sits within the municipality of Estepona on the western Costa del Sol. Because the data does not state how the 240 square metres are split between the living levels and the basement, a buyer should measure the usable footprint of the main rooms and check the gradient of the ramp down to the garage. It is also worth checking the orientation of the sun deck and the bedroom terrace to see which hours of the day each side receives direct light.
