A Traditional Andalusian Town House with a Large Patio in Cortes

Property for sale cortes de la frontera Ref: MBGS1

This generous town house occupies a central position in Cortes de la Frontera, one of Andalucía’s most sought-after white villages. Arranged over two floors, the house combines traditional proportions with flexible living spaces and a substantial patio garden with room for a swimming pool.

Entry is through a wide entrance hall, a space that immediately conveys the scale of the house. Beyond lies the principal living room, which leads through to the kitchen at the rear. The layout creates a natural progression through the house, with each room opening onto the next and drawing the eye towards the outdoor space beyond.

At the back of the house, a large private patio extends the living accommodation outdoors. With ample space for dining, planting and relaxation, it offers the opportunity to create a striking courtyard garden or incorporate a swimming pool, making full use of the Andalusian climate.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor. Here are two bedrooms and a large additional living room. This space is particularly versatile and could serve as a principal bedroom suite, studio, workspace or second reception room, depending on requirements.

The house retains the straightforward elegance characteristic of traditional village architecture: generous room sizes, thick walls, and a layout designed for year-round living. It presents an opportunity to create a contemporary home while maintaining a strong connection to its local character.
