Three levels on a pedestrian street in the Old Town

Main living areas, the kitchen and the principal bedroom share the ground floor of this 4 bedroom townhouse in Estepona, with a private patio opening off the same level and the remaining rooms distributed across the upper floors. Arranged over three levels with 146 m2 of built area, the house was completely renovated two years ago. Having the main bedroom, walk-in wardrobes and a bathroom on the entrance level alongside the lounge and dining area means daily life does not require constant use of the stairs, which is unusual for a traditional town-centre house.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and what to check on layout

Across the property there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total. Two of the bedrooms and one bathroom sit on the first floor, separating guests or children from the ground-floor principal suite. Because the written summary only explicitly places three of the four bedrooms and two of the three bathrooms, a viewing is needed to see how the fourth bedroom and third bathroom fit into the plan and whether the upper rooms have sufficient storage. With 146 m2 of built area spread over three storeys, each floor plate is relatively compact, so checking how furniture fits into the lounge and dining area is worthwhile.

The ground-floor patio and the roof terrace

Outdoor space is split between a ground-floor private patio and a private roof terrace at the top of the house, amounting to 25 m2 of terrace area in total. The patio at the bottom brings daylight and ventilation into the ground-floor rooms, while the roof terrace takes the sun above the surrounding rooftops and has room for a table, chairs and a barbecue. Townhouses in the Old Town rarely have plots or gardens to maintain; here all the exterior space is hard-surfaced and self-contained, which suits a lock-up-and-leave buyer but rules out a lawn or private pool.

Life on a pedestrian street 200 metres from the sea

Stepping out of the front door puts you on a pedestrian street in Estepona Old Town, with cafés, bars, restaurants and shops in the immediate streets and the beach and promenade 200 metres away. A pedestrian street removes passing traffic noise, though it also means you cannot park outside the door; any buyer with a car will need to check the nearest public car parks or resident parking options for this 4 bedroom townhouse in Estepona. On a visit, it is sensible to check the distance from the closest bars to gauge evening noise, as well as the stair width up to the roof terrace if carrying food and drink from the ground-floor kitchen.
