Manorial Heritage: 1930 historic house with private courtyard and unique architectural potential

Engel&Völkers Dénia presents this excellent opportunity to acquire a property with genuine history and character in the heart of Pego’s old town. Built in 1930 and offering a generous approximately 314 m² of living space, this stately home stands out for its enviable central location, allowing you to enjoy traditional village life with all amenities, shops and the area’s rich local cuisine just steps away. Its solid structure and three-storey layout make it the perfect canvas for those seeking to combine the elegance of traditional Valencian architecture with maximum contemporary comfort.

The main floor welcomes us through imposing wooden doors, leading to spaces defined by high ceilings with exposed beams and authentic terracotta and mosaic flooring. Its spacious layout includes an impressive entrance hall, period lounges, a large formal dining room with pantry, a distinctive “bodeguilla” wine cellar beneath the staircase, a double bedroom and staff quarters. The great added value of this level is its access to a charming private interior courtyard, an outdoor oasis that floods the adjoining rooms with natural light and ventilation, ideal for creating a chill-out area or summer dining space.

Ascending a grand staircase with wrought-iron railing and painted dado panels, the first floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters. Here, bright bedrooms feature distinctive patterned hydraulic-tile flooring in vibrant colours and classic wooden shutters. The main façade retains its traditional wrought-iron balconies overlooking the picturesque streets of the town centre, preserving the property’s aristocratic aura. This floor is completed by a bathroom serving the bedrooms.

Crowning the home is the “cambra”, or attic: a spectacular open-plan space beneath a pitched roof that impeccably showcases its imposing rustic wooden beams. This top floor, which still preserves unique historic features such as an old concrete wash basin and remnants of a darkroom for photographic developing, offers unparalleled architectural potential. It is the ideal setting for creating an impressive loft-style master suite, a private art studio or an exclusive entertainment and leisure room.

The property represents an exceptional investment opportunity. Although it requires a comprehensive upgrade to its installations, as the kitchen and bathrooms date from 1977 and the electrical system needs renovation, its excellent structural condition makes it suitable for a high-quality refurbishment project. A unique opportunity to design a bespoke residence that respects the prestige and spirit of 1930 while adapting it to the most demanding standards of today’s lifestyle.
