This house,one of the oldest in the town of Pruna, is a major bargain with a lot of house for a very little money! First there was the castle, then the church, then the 'pension',a boarding house reputed to be 400 years old, for travelers on the road between Seville and Ronda. The house has character and rustic facets with high beamed ceilings, arched doorways, irregular shaped corridors and winding stairways and odd windows in strange places and has potential for a successful bed & breakfast much in demand by hikers etc. in an area of growing rural tourism. You enter through double wooden doors, big enough to be on horseback, and face the intact stable block. A long cobbled hallway runs the 20m length of the building to the back double door entrance. A dining room at the front, an open lounge area, another almost identical room (with TV aerial point and telephone socket) and a small under stairs room ideal as a wine cellar. A corridor leads through to the brand new kitchen, with doors out to the rear conservatory patio, includes new floor and wall tiles, fitted kitchen units, a built-in Bosch cooker and touch sensitive ceramic hob, extractor hood etc., Bosch dishwasher and plumbing for washing machine. All electrics are upgraded to the maximum available (5.5kw). The redone-as-new bathroom is off the patio, new floor and wall tiles, new plumbing, a ‘bidon’ (an extra water tank with a powerful electric pump), a brand new sink, WC, bath and shower, it only needs a light fitting and some paint on the ceiling to finish. Upstairs, on a ‘mezzanine’, is a long, low-beamed roofed, bedroom. On the next level is the main family bathroom (there is a full suite of bathroom furniture ready to be installed, and the hot & cold water feeds are ready to be connected). Further up is another bedroom, with very high beamed ceiling and a high window, and a large open plan sitting room. Off here are the two front bedrooms, with high sloping beamed roofs and shutter windows and balconies looking over the street. A final flight of stairs, with a cupboard underneath, leads up to the big attic room, with low beamed ceilings. Removing this roof and have a fabulous sun terrace on which to lounge in the evenings with a cold drink and a plate of local olives, watching the sun go down over the mountains. Outbuildings: At the end of the first patio, through a huge arch, is the first of the outbuildings, which could easily be converted to a granny flat or B&B rooms. Rustic stairs from here lead up to a huge room with high beamed ceilings and arched alcoves. The main patio area has a flourishing lemon tree and the enormous stables, which still contains the tether rings, a grain chute and water troughs. A possible conversion to a medieval banqueting hall! Above is a large feed store area that could be converted to B&B accommodation, office space, or workshops. Close to Ronda, approx. 90 minutes from Malaga airport, one hour from Seville. Good schools, swimming pool, restaurants, local shops selling local produce, larger supermarkets a short drive away. Easy to park right outside the house.
