This delightful 260m2 titled riad is undoubtedly one of the best all round medium sized riads on the Medina property market.

The riad has it all. It is built on a really grand scale, its volumes and spaces are most interesting – (especially the generous courtyard), it is structurally sound – (with the potential for its courtyard facades to be opened up with, for instance, architectural features such as colonnades and projected mashrabiya balconies), its rooms are spacious and varied, and it boasts some exciting design features like a wealth of antique wood work and an original working well.

However the bedrooms, and their configuration, are the coolest aspect of the riad.

Unusually, the large first floor bedrooms are split into three independent parts – (accessed via three separate staircases), which lends the house additional depth.

Then there is also an entirely self-contained sprawling four roomed flat boasting some of the most exquisite original details I have ever seen in a Medina property this size.

The antique hand-painted decorative wooden ceiling (as below), and feature cupola are magnificent, and complimenting them both are some stunning old doors and cupboards, and antique hand painted sculpted plasterwork.

This rare private space within the riad lifts the house onto a whole new level.

Interestingly, the riad is owned by a foreigner, who is keen to sell, and the house comes with planning permission.

The price is 2.2m dhs.
