A village house with a full-footprint garage and a solarium

The entire ground level of this 2 bedroom townhouse with golf views in Manilva is a private garage, with the two main floors sitting above it and a solarium at the top. Across the whole building, the total built area is 356 m², split between 244 m² over the two upper floors and 112 m² in the downstairs garage. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy so much square metreage because the rooms are either unusually large or accompanied by substantial storage and circulation areas, something a buyer will want to measure during a viewing with a builder.

A 112 m² ground level for vehicles or trade

Having 112 m² of garage space behind a large street door changes what this building can do compared with a standard suburban townhouse. A typical home in a residential development gives you a single parking bay or a narrow underground box, whereas this ground level can take several vehicles, workshop benches, or stock for a small trade. Anyone running a business or keeping multiple cars has the floor plate to do it at home without renting an industrial unit on the edge of town.

East and west terraces plus the top solarium

Outdoor space totals 110 m² of terrace, divided across the upper levels so that different parts of the building catch the sun at different hours. On the first floor, the terrace faces west for the late afternoon light, while the second floor looks east toward the morning sun and takes in mountain views across Manilva, Casares and Estepona. Above the second floor sits a solarium with 360-degree views over the village and surrounding hills, giving open sky to a house built directly into the traditional streetscape.

A 1991 single-owner building needing renovation

Constructed in 1991 and held by one family since then, this resale 2 bedroom townhouse with golf views in Manilva now needs renovation and updating throughout. Buying a house of that age from its original owners means the plumbing, wiring and window frames are likely from the early nineties and should be inspected before planning any layout changes. Because the 244 m² across the two residential floors currently holds two bedrooms and two bathrooms, someone willing to take on building work has the volume to rethink the room divisions.
