Spacious 5 Bedroom Village House with Large Patio and Private Garage in Santiago de Calatrava, Jaén
If you are looking for a spacious Spanish village home with plenty of outdoor space, private parking and room for all the family, this 5 bedroom house in Santiago de Calatrava could be just what you are looking for.
The property has been reformed by the current owners, including new plumbing and electrics, and has been well maintained. It is being sold partially furnished and is ready to move straight into, allowing the new owners to enjoy the property from day one.
One of the real highlights of this home is the large three-tiered patio at the rear of the property. This provides a fantastic amount of private outdoor space and offers plenty of possibilities. There is room to create a pool, add outdoor seating and dining areas, or simply enjoy the sunshine while growing flowers, plants and perhaps your own herbs or vegetables. The different levels also give the patio plenty of character and create several separate areas to enjoy.
Another major advantage is the large private garage, with enough room to comfortably accommodate two cars as well as providing plenty of additional storage space. The garage also has access onto another street, making it particularly practical for parking, storage and everyday use.
The house itself is situated on a wide, flat street with plenty of free parking directly outside, giving you the best of both worlds — easy parking at the front and your own private garage to the rear.
You enter the property into a large, bright hallway, immediately giving a feeling of space and providing a welcoming entrance to the home.
To the right is a good-sized double bedroom, which could also work well as a guest bedroom, office or additional living space depending on your needs.
Continuing through the house, you come into a comfortable lounge, with the staircase leading to the first floor. From here, you continue towards the rear of the property where there is a fully fitted kitchen with plenty of room for a dining table.
The kitchen has direct access out to the impressive patio, making it particularly convenient when dining outside or entertaining family and friends during the warmer months.
Also on the ground floor are a family bathroom and a second bedroom, giving the property two bedrooms on this level and making it a practical option for families who would prefer some bedrooms downstairs.
Upstairs are three further good-sized bedrooms, giving the house a total of five bedrooms.  There is also a large family bathroom with walk-in shower. 
The Patio and Outdoor Space
The three-tiered rear patio is undoubtedly one of the property's biggest attractions.  There is plenty of space to create your own private outdoor oasis, with room for a pool or plunge pool, sun loungers, outdoor dining and comfortable seating areas. The different levels could also be used to create planted areas, making this a lovely space for anyone who enjoys gardening.
From the first level of the patio, there is access to a useful utility room. This could continue to be used for storage and laundry, or could potentially be converted into a summer kitchen, creating an ideal space for preparing food and drinks while enjoying the patio during the summer months.
Steps at the rear of the patio lead up to the large private garage, which has plenty of room for two cars together with additional storage. The garage also benefits from access to another street, adding to its practicality.
Overall, this is a property that offers a great deal of space both inside and out, without requiring the new owners to take on a major renovation project.
