Little Stone House | Ben Agnew

The Little Stone House is situated six kilometres from the Spanish city of Tarifa, the surfing paradise on the south coast of Andalusia. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views of this coastline’s famous sandy beaches. Built on the slope of the La Peña hills, the house is located just 750 from the water. It was constructed upon the foundations of an old farmhouse – in its exact original position, as it is particularly sheltered from the wind. The house blends in harmoniously with the landscape: it nestles into the slope with its natural stone walls and features glazed gables on two sides, which means you can look from one side of the building through to the other.

The interiors are characterised by stone walls, black framed windows and a timber beam ceiling. The 70-square-metre open floor plan includes a sitting area, dining table, kitchen, and a double bed in one room. Only the children’s room with three beds, and the bathroom are separate. The garden has a covered sitting area, a dining area, and an outside shower.
