Once a general store where the villagers gathered, gossiped and chatted, the house is known by all the locals. From the beautiful street, wide double doors lead into a large room with beams on the ceiling, 8 x 3m. To the left, at the far end, are stairs leading up to the first floor, but also a door that leads down steps to a cellar of the same size. Two sets of original double wooden doors lead through from this room to a rear room of around 9 x 3m with beams.
To the far left is a door into a delightful, very old fashioned kitchen (4 x 3m), also with beams and with a window to the street and doors at the rear that lead out to a small covered outdoor area (2 x 2m) with an outdoor WC, and leading on to the lower terrace (around 6 x 2.5m) with country and village views.
The stairs lead up to the first floor, and into a beautiful, large living room (around 10 x 3m) with wooden doors to two balconies overlooking the street and stunning original tiled floors in very good condition.
From this room are doors to two very large bedrooms, (5 x 4m and 6 x 4m one with a balcony) each with beautiful original tiled floors and wooden shutter windows in rustic style. At the far end of this room, an arch leads through to what could be used as an office, with a window to the front (4 x 2m) and from here is access to the bathroom, beautifully old fashioned, in light green tiles with window to the rear (2 x 2m).
The stairs again lead to the second floor where a small landing, with storage over the stairs, leads to three further bedrooms, all off a main corridor, (3 x 4m, 3 x 4m and 4 x 4m), with a more modern bathroom at the far end in white tiles (4 x 2.5m).
The bedrooms and bathroom on this floor all have high, sloping ceilings with beams and wooden windows with shutters.
Also accessed from the landing is a door to the upper terrace (11 x 2m) overlooking the street.
This delightful house has a true soul. It would work well, with a little updating and work, as a village based B&B, or even for a small business such as yoga, teaching, painting workshops, etc.

Buying a Property in Spain
1. Putting down a Holding Deposit
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.
2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)
The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.
3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)
Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
