Description
Charming Renovated Townhouse in the Heart of Cortes de la Frontera
In the picturesque white village of Cortes de la Frontera, nestled in the breathtaking Serranía de Ronda, lies this unique and beautifully reformed townhouse. Carefully restored in 2003 with high-quality craftsmanship, the property combines timeless Andalusian character with modern comfort.
The house preserves its original thick stone walls and stunning Quejigo wood beams on the ground and first floors, while the second floor—newly added during the renovation—features elegant Iroko wood beams. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to honor tradition while providing a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Layout & Features:
-
Ground Floor: A spacious living-dining room with a cozy fireplace and traditional built-in cupboards, a charming kitchen with direct access to the patio, and a convenient guest toilet.
-
First Floor: Two bedrooms—one with a balcony overlooking the street, the other facing the patio—plus a full bathroom.
-
Second Floor: A light-filled studio / thrid bedroom that opens onto a roof terrace, where peace, silence, and panoramic mountain views create the perfect retreat.
Handcrafted finishes bring unique character to the home: beautiful hydraulic tile floors on every level (with bespoke designs), stained-glass details in the doors, porcelain and wood switches, and new Iroko windows with double glazing to ensure comfort year-round.
Location:
The property sits in the very heart of the village, just steps from the 18th-century stone Town Hall and the 17th-century Parish Church, on a quiet pedestrian street leading to a well-kept children’s park. Within walking distance are local shops, services, and the village market (currently being renovated). A short stroll takes you to the expansive Parque de las Camaretas, where you can enjoy sweeping views, sports facilities, tennis and paddle courts, football pitches, and a spectacular saltwater municipal pool set among rocks and fig trees.
