The 2nd bedroom with access to the rear terrace can very easily be reinstated if preferred so that the main house has two double bedrooms, one bathroom and a standard size kitchen/living room that uses the alfresco covered dining area located off the living room.

The kitchen is in the Andalucian style with a tiled work surface that accommodates a sink, kettle, coffee machine and toaster. However, there is ample space for a microwave, table top oven with grill and fridge underneath the work surface. A portable air-conditioning unit is located in guest cottage fondly known as the The Chicken Shed. Outside the guest cottage is a private terrace that has complete privacy from the pool and main house due to one of the impressive and ancient olive trees providing privacy. The terrace has ample space for dining and lounging. The Old Donkey House is ideal for more accommodation with a conversion into a kids den/summer bedroom or hobby room/artist studio (8M2 approx + open terrace): The Old Donkey House has a terracotta tiled floor and is a brick built structure. Currently, it is used as a storage outbuilding. However, with a little work and imagination, it could become a fun place for children to play in or even sleep in during the summer. It would easily accommodate two children or teenagers and a fun place to hang out. Or it would make a superb hobby room or artist studio.
