This four-bedroom townhouse stands in the centre of Tormos, an inland village in the Alicante province of the Costa Blanca. The property offers 140 m² of living space spread over two floors plus a 25 m² roof terrace with views across the village and the surrounding valley. Built in 1970 and modernised since, the house is key-ready, with a fixed asking price of €227,000. It includes two bathrooms, a living room with fireplace, an independent kitchen with dining space, air conditioning (hot and cold) and a south-east orientation. Daily amenities such as a supermarket (2.3 km) and a pharmacy (2.5 km) are within a short drive, while the nearest beaches lie roughly 10 km away as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The house sits in the heart of Tormos, a small inland village rather than a coastal resort. Daily provisions are available within the village or at a supermarket 2.3 km away, and a hospital is 3.0 km distant. The nearest beaches, Platja de l'Almadrava and Platja dels Molins, lie 9.8 to 10 km away in a straight line. A car is useful here, though not essential for every errand.
With four bedrooms and two full bathrooms across two floors, the layout suits family living or regular guest stays. The ground floor combines a living room with fireplace and a large independent kitchen with dining space. The 25 m² roof terrace serves outdoor dining and relaxation, oriented to catch the south-east sun through the morning.
This is an existing, key-ready home rather than a new-build project. Construction dates from 1970, and the property has been modernised, including air conditioning and an updated bathroom. There is no construction phase or waiting period: the house can be occupied directly after completion of the purchase.
The plot is compact at 88 m², so there is no private garden or swimming pool. Parking is not part of the property, and no garage or storage room is listed. Golf courses lie 12 km or more away, and the airport is at a considerable distance. The house is village property with stairs between floors and no lift.

This property fits several recognisable situations. A family needing four bedrooms on a moderate budget will find the two-floor layout practical: children or guests sleep upstairs while daily life happens on the ground floor. Buyers seeking a year-round residence in an authentic Spanish village, rather than an international coastal resort, get a house with character, fireplace, wooden beams and rustic doors, combined with modern air conditioning. Holiday-home buyers gain a base that is close enough to the coast for beach days (roughly 10 km straight-line to Platja de l'Almadrava) yet far enough inland to avoid seasonal crowds and peak-season noise. Investors may see rental potential in the bedroom count, though returns depend on demand for inland village accommodation, which is narrower than in coastal resort towns. The house is less suitable for buyers who want a private pool, a garden or single-level living, since the plot is 88 m² and the bedrooms all sit on the upper floor or via stairs. A car is recommended for shopping runs, medical visits and the coast, although daily errands within the village are walkable. In short, the property suits buyers prioritising space, views and village quiet over coastal convenience and resort facilities.
The house dates from 1970 and has been renovated since, a history visible in its blend of traditional and modern elements. Interior photographs show rustic wooden beams above the dining areas, solid wooden doors, and a living room whose entrance retains original detailing. The kitchen is independent and generously sized, with space for a dining table, a layout common in Spanish village houses and practical for households that cook at home. The bathrooms appear fully renewed, with shower, sink and toilet in tiled finishes consistent with a 2010-era refurbishment. Technical comfort is provided by air conditioning units that deliver both hot and cold air, covering the main living spaces across seasons. The south-east orientation and exterior-facing layout bring daylight into the rooms without the deep, dark interiors sometimes found in older village properties. Points that buyers commonly verify in a house of this age include insulation levels, the condition of the roof structure beneath the terrace, electrical wiring updates and window glazing. The property is described as in good condition and ready to move into, but an independent technical survey remains standard practice before purchase. No private pool, garage or storage room is included, and parking depends on street availability in the village centre.
The asking price is fixed at €227,000 for this existing home; it is not a from-price. That figure covers 140 m² of living space, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and the 25 m² roof terrace, working out at roughly €1,620 per m². For the Costa Blanca market this positions the property below typical coastal new-build pricing: comparable apartments in Torrevieja start from around €160,000–€169,000, and a three-phase development near Urbanización El Raso lists from €227,000. Availability is immediate, as the house is key-ready and completed; any purchase timeline therefore depends on the legal process rather than a construction schedule. Additional purchase costs, such as transfer tax and notary fees, apply on top of the asking price.
Life in this townhouse follows the rhythm of a small Spanish village. Mornings can begin on the roof terrace, where the south-east orientation brings sun early and the 25 m² surface offers room for a table, chairs and pot plants. The view extends over the rooftops of Tormos and the green valley beyond, giving the house an open aspect despite its central village position. The layout divides naturally: the ground floor holds the living room with its fireplace, a bedroom, a bathroom and the large independent kitchen, which doubles as an everyday dining space. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and the main family bathroom. This separation suits households that want communal space below and quiet sleeping quarters above. Because the property sits in the village centre, bread, coffee and basic shopping are within walking distance, while a supermarket 2.3 km away and a pharmacy 2.5 km away cover larger needs. A hospital lies 3.0 km distant. The area is quiet outside the summer months, and the streets around the house carry mostly local traffic. Air conditioning provides hot and cold air, so the house is usable year-round, whether as a permanent residence, a holiday base or a rental property. Evenings often end on the terrace, where the valley catches the last light, a small daily ritual that reflects how the house is actually used.
Tormos is an inland village in the Marina Alta area of northern Alicante province, set among valleys and terraced hillsides rather than on the coast. Daily life here revolves around the village itself: a pharmacy 2.5 km away and a supermarket 2.3 km away handle most provisions, while a hospital at 3.0 km provides medical coverage unusually close for a settlement of this size. The streets are quiet outside Spanish holiday periods, and the pace is that of a working village rather than a resort. For recreation, the coast lies about 10 km away in a straight line: Platja de l'Almadrava, Platja de l'Amadrava and Platja dels Molins are the closest sandy options, reachable by car within a quarter of an hour or so depending on the route. Golfers face a longer trip, with the Gregal and Llebeig courses around 12 km distant and Altea Club de Golf at 19 km. An electric-vehicle charging point sits 8.0 km away, relevant for owners of EVs. A car is convenient for nearly everything beyond the village, and mountainous terrain means real driving distances and times exceed straight-line figures.
The map shows the property's position within Tormos village. Note the distances to beaches (about 10 km straight-line), the supermarket at 2.3 km and the hospital at 3.0 km. Road routes through the valley are longer than the direct lines shown.
Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Tormos occupies an inland position in the northern Costa Blanca, in Alicante province, roughly equidistant from the coastal towns of Dénia, Gandia and their beaches to the east and the mountains to the west. This places the village in the transition zone between the busy coastline and the quieter interior, around ten kilometres from the sea. For the Costa Blanca as a whole, that means coastal amenities are reachable while housing prices remain well below seafront levels, the fixed €227,000 asking price illustrates this differential. The region combines sandy beaches, golf courses and marinas on the coast with hiking terrain and traditional villages inland.
Distances below are straight-line, as the crow flies; road distances are longer in this hilly terrain. The nearest beaches, Platja de l'Almadrava at 9.8 km, Platja de l'Amadrava at 10 km and Platja dels Molins at 10 km, require a drive through the valley to the coast. Daily amenities cluster close to home: supermarket 2.3 km, pharmacy 2.5 km and hospital 3.0 km, which together cover groceries, prescriptions and healthcare within minutes by car. Golf courses sit farther out: Gregal and Llebeig both at 12 km, and Altea Club de Golf at 19 km. An EV charging station is 8.0 km away. Public transport in villages of this size is limited, so a car is the practical mode for most journeys, though walking suffices for errands within the village itself. The airport lies at a considerable distance; buyers should check actual route times when planning visits or rentals.
Tormos lies inland at a modest elevation in the Marina Alta, where the climate is Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild winters, slightly warmer in summer and cooler in winter than directly on the coast due to the distance from the sea. The surrounding landscape consists of valleys, terraced slopes and low mountains, giving the roof terrace its open views over the village and the valley. The south-east orientation of the house means the terrace receives morning and midday sun, while afternoons bring shade as the sun moves west, a comfortable balance for outdoor meals. Rainfall concentrates in autumn and early spring; outside those periods, long dry stretches make terrace living practical from late spring well into October. Walking routes into the surrounding hills start virtually from the village edge.

The nearest coastline is about 10 km away in a straight line. Platja de l'Almadrava (9.8 km), Platja de l'Amadrava (10 km) and Platja dels Molins (10 km) offer the closest sandy beaches; these coves south of Dénia are quieter than the main resort strands. A day at the coast therefore means a short drive rather than a walk, which keeps beach outings deliberate rather than daily, consistent with inland village life. Golf is available but not on the doorstep: Gregal and Llebeig courses lie 12 km away and Altea Club de Golf 19 km. Everyday recreation happens closer to home: hill walking from the village, cycling on valley roads and the roof terrace itself, which at 25 m² functions as an outdoor room for much of the year. Sports facilities beyond these are concentrated in the larger coastal towns.

Within its price bracket, this townhouse competes mainly with coastal apartments and new-build phases in the southern Costa Blanca. The comparable projects, Palangre Beach in Torrevieja (from €160,000), Sun & Center in Torrevieja (from €169,000) and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II near Urbanización El Raso (from €227,000), all offer newer construction and coastal proximity, generally with communal pools and modern energy standards. The Tormos property differs on each of these points: it is an older, characterful village house with a private roof terrace instead of shared facilities, and its 88 m² plot rules out a garden or pool. What it offers in exchange is space, 140 m² and four bedrooms, roughly €1,620 per m², and a genuinely Spanish inland setting, where prices per square metre remain below coastal resort levels. Location-wise, the northern Costa Blanca around Tormos is greener and hillier than the Torrevieja area in the south, with valley agriculture, walking country and quieter winters, but also with more limited public transport and longer drives to beaches and golf. Buyers comparing the two options are effectively weighing coastal convenience and modern build against interior character, views and living space. For rental investment, the coastal comparables benefit from stronger year-round demand, whereas inland village lets attract a narrower market, often walkers and longer-term tenants. The choice therefore depends less on price, all four sit in a narrow band, and more on the intended use and preferred setting.
