Rustic 1940s House near Benissa with Valley Views

Overview

Set on a quiet lane just outside Benissa, this charming 159 m² house dates from 1940 and is laid out over two floors. A narrow access road leads to a generous parking area with covered parking for two cars, and there is a separate terrace with a barbecue and outdoor dining space. A pergola fitted with solar panels provides shade and attractive views on the approach to the front doors.

Interior & Features

Large double doors flood the interior with light and open into a bright living room with a fireplace and a dedicated home office area. This flows into a spacious, semi-open kitchen with a central island and ample worktop space for meal preparation. The ground floor is completed by a cosy sitting room and a library, while a staircase leads up to the sleeping quarters and bathrooms.

Outdoor Space & Views

The garden wraps around the west side of the house and offers several terraces for lounging and alfresco dining, mature planting and sweeping valley views. The property does not have a pool, but it would suit anyone seeking a quieter, more rural lifestyle in an authentic Spanish home.
