Three floors, a convertible basement and 210 m² of built area

A built area of 210 square metres and 85 square metres of terrace give this property the footprint of a much larger family house. This 2 bedroom townhouse in Manilva sits in the gated community of Bahia de Las Rocas, on the western border of the municipality near Sotogrande. Because the townhouse has three floors including a basement, the vertical separation keeps the sleeping quarters away from the daytime areas.

How the floors divide the house

The ground floor holds the living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a guest toilet so visitors do not need to go upstairs. Both bedrooms sit on the first floor, and each has its own en-suite bathroom, with a Jacuzzi fitted in one of them. Fitted wardrobes and hot and cold air conditioning are already installed. Beneath the main living level is the basement, which can be converted into a third bedroom, a workroom, or a games room depending on what a buyer needs from the extra square metres. Because the house runs across multiple levels, anyone viewing should pay attention to the staircases and how the layout works for daily movement.

Terrace, solarium and the views

Outdoor space is split between the main terrace off the living room and a large upper solarium reached from the first floor. In total there are 85 square metres of terrace, enough to set up separate areas for dining and sitting out without moving furniture around. The orientation gives views of the sea, Gibraltar, and the African coast from both the main terrace and the solarium. When viewing this 2 bedroom townhouse in Manilva, it is worth standing on both levels to check the wind exposure and see where the shade falls in the afternoon.

Parking and the gated community

A private carport handles the parking for the house. The wider Bahia de Las Rocas development is a gated community with maintained communal gardens and swimming pools for both adults and children. Having the pools and gardens managed by the community removes the weekly upkeep of a private plot while still giving residents somewhere to swim and walk inside the perimeter.
