Description

Extensive 5 bed, 2 and a half bath corner plot townhouse, private pool, garage, gardens and terraces just 40 minutes from the coast.

This fabulous property is located in the heart of a traditional white village called Paterna de Rivera just 10 minutes drive from Medina Sidonia. Although lesser known than most white villages in the province, Paterna de Rivera is famous for flamenco and the abundance of local produce grown in the surrounding fertile countryside.

Casa Pepa has been renovated to a high standard throughout to include a fabulous private pool, extended garage, UPVC double-glazing, electric heating, solar heated hot water system and solar photovoltaic electricity which feeds any unused electricity back into the national grid. Whilst this updating has provided well for the needs of modern day living, the owners have kept the character and charm such as the feature arches of the main terrace and beautiful traditional style Spanish tiles.

This large family home or holiday retreat comes complete with a modern fitted kitchen with appliances, peninsular with hob and space for dining. The light and bright main living area (45sqm) stretches the full length of the house and has a corner wood-burning stove making this a cosy space during the winter whilst the ceiling lights with fan assist with cooling in the summer. There is also a separate dining room. There is also a small study plus a WC with wash-hand basin on the ground floor.

Stairs from the lounge lead up to the 2nd floor featuring four double bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room, and one single bedroom. The generous master bedroom with fitted wardrobes sits opposite the main bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle. There is access the upper balcony from here where you can enjoy views over the sunny garden and pool area. Stairs from this terrace lead up to the utility room with washing machine and storage which in turn, gives access to the extensive roof terrace offering views over the surrounding town and countryside.

As well as plenty of indoor living space, the renovated townhouse has plenty of room outside too. Being a corner plot, there is a lawned garden with fruit trees. The private pool is positioned in a sunny spot alongside a lovely patio and outdoor dining area. It also has a recently extended garage with workshop which can also be accessed from the terrace and gardens.

Paterna de Rivera is a small Spanish village with a great sense of community. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants for the 6,000 or so inhabitants. It also has a full size sports hall and an excellent municipal swimming centre with three separate swimming pools. Paterna has an infant school, primary school and secondary school that goes through to bachillerato.

Residents can live the country life but yet are only 40 minutes from the Atlantic coast and the provincial capital of Cadiz, 30 minutes from Jerez airport, an hour from Seville and Gibraltar airports, and less than two and a half hours from Malaga airport.

Paterna de Rivera is also within easy reach of the beautiful national park of Los Alcornocales, which is a fantastic spot for walking and picnicking. Paterna de Rivera is close to some of the finest countryside in Andalucia, with the rich grassland providing pasture for some of the most important bull-breeding farms in Spain.

About the area: Medina Sidonia

Medina Sidonia (Arabic for "City of Sidon") is known to be one of the oldest cities in Europe dating back to the Phoenician era around 400 BC. It is steeped in history spanning the centuries predominantly due to its commanding position high on the hilltop offering considerable military advantage with breathtaking panoramic views across the wild countryside and out towards the coast. Many different cultures fought and ruled Medina such as the Arabs, Romans and the Moors, each leaving an imprint in the architecture, streets and ancient city walls. Admiral Alonso Perez de Guzman was a well respected historic figure who was responsible for leading the Spanish Armada against the English in 1588. Medina Sidonia is less like a city in today's terms and more of a beautiful, quiet white village with its character cobbled streets lined with historic buildings and authentic decorative wrought iron windows and balconies known as "rejas". The Plaza Espana, directly in front of the impressive Town Hall buildings is lined with orange trees and is a delightful place to sit and enjoy the Spanish sunshine whilst eating tapas, sipping a cool glass of "fino" (local sherry) or freshly ground coffee from one of the many quality restaurants and bars on the edge of the square. Take a walk through the cool winding streets and enjoy the views all the way to the top where you will find the old castle ruins and nestled just below, the church of "Saint Marie the Crowned" with its authentic Andalucian architecture and quaint bell tower. Medina is a great place to live or spend your holiday. It is a perfect base from which to explore the local area including Jerez, famous for its sherry scented streets due to its many famous Bodegas such as Gonzalez-Byass (Tio Pepe) and Harvey's Bristol Cream, Cadiz "the imposing and historic City on the Sea, the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) and its many award winning beaches stretching from Cadiz all the way down to the surfers paradise of Tarifa and the untamed inland nature reserves of the 'Alcornocales' and La Brena" all within 30 mins drive. As if these were not enough, the romantic city of Seville is only an hour away, famous for its orange lined streets, flamenco dancing and many authentic tapas bars. One of Spains most photographed landmarks, the "Puente Nuevo" is found in Rhonda 1.5hrs away just over the Cadiz border into the Province of Malaga. It is over 200ft tall and spans the gorge linking the old and new town. Just a small step in from the coast to Medina Sidonia could open up all sorts of possibilities to you whether choosing the perfect place to live or in which to spend your holidays.
