- March 11, 2004
In this episode of A Place in the Sun, viewers join property expert Laura Hamilton as she helps a couple search for their dream home on the Costa Almeria in southern Spain. The couple, Cathryn and Steve, have a budget of £120,000 and are looking for a three-bedroom property with plenty of sun and space to entertain family and friends.
Laura begins their search in Mojacar, a picturesque coastal town known for its whitewashed houses and stunning sea views. She shows them a charming three-bedroom villa with a swimming pool and fantastic views of the Mediterranean. The property has plenty of potential but needs some work, and the couple are unsure if they are ready for a renovation project.
Next, Laura takes the couple to nearby Vera, a larger town with a more vibrant nightlife. Here, she shows them an impressively spacious three-bedroom apartment, which has been recently renovated to a high standard. The apartment is bright and modern, with a large living room and a sleek, contemporary kitchen. The only downside is that it has no outdoor space, which Cathryn and Steve feel could be a dealbreaker.
Laura then takes the couple further inland to the town of Albox, known for its rustic charm and stunning mountain views. Here, she shows them a traditional Spanish farmhouse, which has been converted into a spacious, three-bedroom family home. The property is full of character, with traditional features like a wood-burning stove and exposed wooden beams. It also has a large terrace with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Finally, Laura takes the couple to the town of Arboleas, where she shows them a stunning three-bedroom villa with a private pool and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. The property is immaculate, with a large living room, a modern kitchen, and three spacious bedrooms. The outdoor space is also impressive, with a covered terrace and a BBQ area perfect for entertaining.
As they reflect on the properties they have seen, Cathryn and Steve must consider what features are most important to them in their dream home. Will they choose a charming renovation project with stunning sea views, a sleek modern apartment in a vibrant town, a rustic Spanish farmhouse with a large terrace, or a stunning villa with a private pool? Tune in to find out which property they fall in love with and whether they find their perfect place in the sun.
