Four levels and an adaptable floor plan in Seghers

The top terrace looks out to the sea. This 3 bedroom townhouse in Agua Marina, Estepona sits in the residential area of Seghers and divides 255 m2 of built area across three floors plus a basement. As a semi-detached resale house, its main characteristic is how much the internal walls have already been altered and how much further they could be moved.

Ground floor and the option to open the kitchen

A west-facing living and dining room takes the afternoon light on the ground floor. Beside it sits a separate kitchen and a guest toilet. For a buyer who prefers a single large living room, the wall between the kitchen and the dining area can be removed to bring both spaces together, though keeping it as it stands shuts cooking noise and smells away from the rest of the house.

Merged bedrooms and the open attic

Two of the bedrooms and one en-suite bathroom occupy the first floor. The main bedroom is unusually large because two original rooms were combined into one. That gives the principal room plenty of floor space, though it also explains why a house of this size has only one full bathroom. A buyer needing an extra bedroom or a second bathroom on this level would need to look at reinstating the partition or reworking the plumbing. Above this level, the top floor is an open-plan attic that acts as the third bedroom, a study or a second sitting room, opening directly onto a private terrace with sea views.

Terraces and the private garden

Outdoor space across the property totals 88 m2 of terrace alongside a private garden. Because the house faces west, the main outdoor areas catch the sun from midday until late in the afternoon. Having both the garden at the bottom of the house and the terrace off the attic means two people can sit outside at the same time in completely separate parts of the property.

A walk-out basement at garden level

The lowest level of this 3 bedroom townhouse in Agua Marina, Estepona currently holds the garage and a laundry area. Unlike a fully subterranean cellar, this basement opens out to the terrace and garden at almost the same level. If a household does not need indoor parking, that walk-out access makes it straightforward to convert the space into a self-contained apartment, a gym or a workroom with natural light and a door straight to the grass.
