A corner townhouse with a 250 square metre private garden

Holding the end plot of the row gives this home a 250 square metre private garden. As a 4 bedroom townhouse with golf views in San Pedro de Alcántara, it combines the footprint of a larger family home with the shared maintenance of a residential community. The 270 square metres of built area are arranged across two levels.

Ground floor bedroom and two-level layout

Having one bedroom and a bathroom with a shower on the ground floor solves the main problem of townhouse living. It gives older relatives a step-free place to sleep, or provides a quiet study away from the bedrooms upstairs, beside the main living room. The remaining three bedrooms sit on the first floor up the main staircase. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, while the other two upper bedrooms share the third full bathroom. All three upstairs bedrooms have access to balconies or terraces, which makes up the 30 square metres of terrace space and brings natural light into each room.

The corner plot and outdoor space

Mid-terrace houses often feel hemmed in by neighbours on both sides, whereas a corner unit opens up the aspect and widens the garden. The outdoor space here is already divided into a barbecue area and a chill-out zone, leaving enough room to eat outside and sit in the sun without moving furniture around. When viewing this 4 bedroom townhouse with golf views in San Pedro de Alcántara, it is worth checking how the sun tracks across the 250 square metre plot in the late afternoon, and how much privacy the boundary planting gives from the communal paths.

Communal pools, security and surroundings

Outside the private boundary, the community runs 24-hour security and concierge services, which is useful for owners who leave the property empty for parts of the year. The grounds contain several communal swimming pools, green areas and a children's playground, so families have space to swim and play without having to maintain a private pool of their own. Parking is included with the house. For daily errands and recreation, the property stands near the golf club and a shopping centre, with the beach seven minutes away.
