伝統的な村落の風景を眺めている現代的なアパート

I am a nurse and my husband is an accountant. We have been married over 39 years and have one daughter aged 33. We live in Stockport, near Manchester in the North West of England.

We were looking to buy in this general area for over two years, after many years of short breaks around here. Our original plan, many years ago, was to buy in a small village/town in the Langedoc region in France where we'd holidayed each Summer, but when the funds were finally available the prices had rocketed. So we moved our search to around here. We must have viewed over 50 properties and nothing did it for us. We didn't want an obvious purpose built large gated complex in a place with no character and no view. Then, unlike us, we were suddenly in the right place at the right time (ask me and I'll tell you the story) We would never have normally been looking at that time of year and two days before we arrived this property came on the market. Although it was not our style, it gave us everything we had been looking for in France and more ... a swimming pool!!! And a garage space!! And a view to top all views!! Although when it was built 12 years ago it was purposely built as a 'complex' it is built like a white house blending into the old white houses on the street. It is a small complex, with only around 30 apartments, so it feels very much part of traditional Mijas, but modern. And very importantly, although at the quieter end of the village, so away from the tourist traffic, it is only about 4 mins walk from the start of all the bars, restaurants and shops. It's perfect!! And even more so to us now we have changed the look and modernised it.

Extremely well equipped. Cleaned to the highest standard. Well maintained Small village feel. English spoken very well by all the Northern European owners of the apartments in the complex and by shop and restaurant workers/owners. Close to all amenities. Lovely clean well cared for pool area with free to use sunbeds and parasols. THAT VIEW! Garage space
