When history goes hi-tech

Private TerraceSometimes it seems like a classic ‘either-or’ choice. Do you opt for life in a historic building in a rural area and sacrifice your desire for modern conveniences, or is it better to buy a glossy new city apartment and enjoy the odd weekend in the country?

It’s summertime and, in the picturesque province of Cádiz, the living is easy. Less than 60 kilometres from this delightful area’s eponymous capital lies the beautiful town of Medina Sidonia, a picture perfect location which, in the fifteenth century, was one of Spain’s most important ducal seats. The town has retained its cobbled streets, medieval walls and therefore much of its ancient charm.

Residencia Thebussem in Medina Sidonia is the ideal property purchase for those torn between ancient culture and modern living. Containing four two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments and one three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment extending over three floors, this glorious nineteenth century townhouse has been completely refitted to include every imaginable modern comfort and convenience.

Located in a cobbled street close to the town’s main square, Residencia Thebussem retains its most charming original features: its period wood beams, arches, glasswork, antique doors, atriums and courtyards will seduce any lover of historical architecture, yet it is also fully heat and sound insulated.

These stunning apartments also feature high quality Logos kitchens with Gorenja integrated appliances, while Jacob Delafon and Grohe will supply the bathroom fittings.

Beautiful BedroomPurchasers will be able to enjoy some very contemporary touches, such as an under-floor heating system, air-conditioning and heating in all rooms, plus satellite connections that can be offered for a system suitable to any nationality or language group. All residents will also enjoy access to a private pool terrace, an essential feature during the summer months.

The layout of every apartment is entirely unique, the three-bedroom residence containing some unusual features, such as a tower room, a terrace with superb views and a private entrance leading off a quiet road that overlooks the town’s castle.

Residencia Thebussem offers the best of ancient and modern.
