Set within La Moraleja, one of Madrid's most established residential enclaves, this ten-bedroom villa commands a generous 2,600 m² plot. English in character and conceived for family living, the house unfolds across multiple levels with a principal floor that centres on reception spaces: a substantial living room with fireplace, separate dining area, and library lounge opening onto a sequence of covered porches. The main bedroom suite occupies this level, eliminating the need to navigate stairs, and enjoys direct access to the principal rooms and gardens beyond. The spatial organisation balances inhabited zones with service areas. Additional bedrooms, nursery, gymnasium and service entrance are distributed throughout the lower floors. Materials and systems reflect the home's age and upkeep: underfloor heating, air conditioning, and climate-controlled swimming pool support year-round use. The terrace extends 239 m², while the gardens themselves—mature, planted, and anchored by both pool and jacuzzi—form the centre of the property's appeal. A tennis court occupies part of the grounds.
La moraleja
La Moraleja is technically not Madrid — it sits in the municipality of Alcobendas, about 15 km north of the city via the A-1 motorway — but it functions as the international corporate family's default answer to "where do we live while our kids go to school in English?" The district is a collection of gated residential estates developed from the 1970s onward, with villas on 1,000–5,000 m² plots, private gardens, pools, and the highest concentration of English- and other foreign-language international schools in all of Spain (ICS, Runnymede, King's College, Brewster, Colegio Base, the Lycée Français Saint-Exupéry campus — all within 1 km of each other). It is suburban in the American sense, not the Spanish: you drive everywhere, the streets are leafy, and the social fabric runs through the school gates and the Club de Campo La Moraleja golf clubhouse.
