The existing part of the house was completely renovated between 2013 and 2015 and extended with a new building (with planning permission). As the owner himself is a craftsman, great importance was attached to perfect construction work - accordingly, the house is in excellent condition.

The new building forms the spacious living room with dining area and serving hatch to the kitchen, which is equipped with a modern fitted kitchen, small but very practical and well-equipped. The main entrance door is located at the car parking space opposite the kitchen, so you only have to walk about 5 metres to get your groceries. The entrance door is fully glazed and can be completely folded inwards and fastened so that it can always be completely open without being a nuisance, at least in summer. To the left of the entrance is a very large bedroom, which not only offers space for a large double bed and wardrobes for an extensive wardrobe, but also a hobby or work area. A roof window (Velux), which can be easily opened and closed by remote control and also closes automatically when it rains, means that the room is not only bright, but can also be well ventilated and thus naturally heated or cooled by the sun.

The living room also has very large sliding glass elements, which not only offer a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean and the neighbouring island of Tenerife, but can also heat the room in winter through natural sunlight and cool it in summer through generous openings. From the living room you can access the terrace, which catches the first rays of sunshine in the morning and invites you to enjoy a coffee (or tea). From here you not only have a view of your own beautifully planted garden, but also of the bay of Santa Cruz de La Palma and the summit of Mount Teide, which is often covered in snow in winter and is not only Europe's highest mountain, but also the longest shadow in the world. The night-time view of the lively skyline of our neighbouring island is just as fascinating.

The house also has a practical bathroom with a walk-in shower and a very large utility room, which houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer, as well as a small guest bathroom, which can also be accessed directly from the garden.

In the garden, there is an outdoor kitchen with cooking facilities and sink as well as a shaded seating area and a completely sunny one. A small tool shed, which could also serve as a home workshop, and a semi-shaded seating area in the grove of endemic plants on the lowest garden terrace round off the space on offer.

The garden was laid out with paved paths and steps and is easy to maintain. Raised beds ensure back-friendly working. It is completely fenced in so that dog owners do not have to worry about their pets. A car parking space is available within the fenced area, as well as two private guest parking spaces.

The house is of course connected to the public electricity and drinking water network. Telephone landline and internet are installed via radio relay, fibre optic connection would be possible. SAT-TV is also available. A separate wall switch for the TV installation has been installed to save on standby consumption.

Even though heating is rarely required due to the low altitude of approx. 500 metres above sea level and the well-insulated construction, there is a cosy basic stove, which only needs to be heated every 24 hours, and three marble wall heaters.

The waste water is pre-cleaned via a two-chamber sewage treatment plant and discharged into a soakaway. The system has just been emptied, which can be done every 15 years or so simply by opening an inspection hatch in the street.
