Rural house, ideal for restorarion project. 
On a side street of an out off the beaten track village, yet within a 10 minute drive from bigger and more important villages like Piedrahita, and two hour drive from Madrid, a 108m2 traditional masonry stone house split on 2 levels, set over a plot of some 54m2 of urban land. This property comes with all mains water, electricity & sewage services.
The restoration should preserve the available stone walls as basic element to create a habitable space, which could also be functional & personalised. Masonry has been the main traditional building material used in local constructions. Thus, stone should be preserved on its 4 walls to add character to the building, which should also implement the use of other simple local architectural references: wooden roofed gates, asymmetrical roofs, used of prime noble material such as wood & arabic type roof tiles… In principal, and upon approval by technical surveyor, the works should consist on the functional restoration of this old & typical building, which in the past had been used as a house, to turn it into a modern residential building through the measures contained and approved by the technical surveyor, which amongst others, may or not include: consolidation of the building’s structural security and the improvement of the building’s functionality (access, acoustical & thermal insulation, solar panels) all in accordance with current developing laws.
