The HouseThe cortijo is arranged around an attractive central courtyard, planted with ornamental vegetation and incorporating architectural details reminiscent of the patios of Seville’s historic town houses. Two of the five bedrooms open directly from the courtyard, separate from the main circulation areas of the house. Each has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, providing a degree of independence from the principal accommodation. A large wooden doorway leads from the courtyard into the entrance hall, which connects with the main reception rooms. The principal sitting and dining room is a spacious room with a fireplace and three large windows. A glazed doorway leads through to a second reception room, described as the summer sitting room, where four substantial glazed arches overlook the gardens. One of these opens onto a covered porch. The porch also provides an alternative entrance to the house through a distinctive glazed door with metal framing, incorporating clear and blue-tinted glass panels. From this entrance, a reception area leads into the library, a long room with fitted shelving along one wall. This connects with the main hall and kitchen, while a window overlooking the central courtyard provides natural light. The kitchen is one of the principal features of the house. A large room with high ceilings, exposed beams and terracotta floor tiles with contrasting white insets, it retains the character of a traditional Andalusian farmhouse kitchen. A substantial built-in extractor hood, finished in white plaster with a dark timber beam, extends across the principal cooking area. Beneath it, hand-painted ceramic tiles with floral designs in yellow, blue and green provide a decorative splashback. The kitchen also has a central island, a large timber dresser and an informal dining area. Adjoining rooms include a pantry, laundry room and guest cloakroom. Beyond the kitchen is a games room, used for billiards and table tennis, with access to the cortijo’s tower. The room has sufficient space to accommodate a different internal arrangement, subject to any necessary building works. A spacious office, with a window overlooking the grounds, is situated off the main entrance hall. The house has five bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and its own bathroom. The bathrooms have individual designs, incorporating hand-painted ceramic tiles and traditional decorative finishes. Throughout the residence, timber doors, decorative ironwork, fireplaces and ceramic details contribute to the character of the building, while the arrangement of rooms around the courtyard reflects the traditional architecture of southern Spain.
