A townhouse arranged around its roof terrace and basement

The windows look out across the sea toward Sotogrande and the rock of Gibraltar. This resale 3 bedroom townhouse in Bahia de la Rocas, Manilva has a 209 m2 built area and 66 m2 of terrace space divided between the main level, bedroom balconies and a top floor roof terrace. The community sits in a quiet area surrounded by greenery and includes three communal pool areas.

Main floor and the basement

You enter into an open living and dining room where large glass sections open directly onto the terrace and the sea view. The room takes a full sofa arrangement and a large dining table without crowding. The kitchen has wide countertops, modern appliances and storage built to handle full-time use. Down in the basement, a large room is currently used as the third bedroom, though the floor plate is big enough to be divided into two separate rooms if a buyer needs an office or a fourth sleeping area. A bathroom on this lower level houses both a washing machine and a tumble dryer, keeping laundry noise away from the main living quarters and making the floor self-contained for visiting guests.

Upstairs bedrooms and storage

Upstairs, two bedrooms sit on the same floor with an open walk-in closet positioned between them. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, their own en-suite bathrooms, and direct doors onto private balconies facing the sea and countryside. Having two en-suite bedrooms upstairs and the third bathroom in the basement means nobody shares a bathroom, though a buyer should note that the walk-in closet is shared between the two upper rooms rather than closed off inside one of them.

Outdoor space and the roof terrace

The 66 m2 of outdoor space is spread across three levels rather than concentrated in one ground-level garden, which reduces maintenance to sweeping tiles. Above the bedroom level, the top floor is a roof terrace with 360-degree views of the sea and the surrounding hills. It is large enough to hold a barbecue area, a dining table, an outdoor sofa group and sun loungers at the same time. When viewing a 3 bedroom townhouse in Bahia de la Rocas, Manilva on an elevated hillside like this, it is worth standing on the roof terrace to check the wind exposure and seeing how the sun moves across the three communal pools during the afternoon. For sports and port facilities, Sotogrande is just around the corner, giving direct access to its marina, canal system, golf courses, polo fields and tennis clubs.
