PRICE REDUCED: DETACHED RIVERSIDE COTTAGE WITH SEPARATE STONE HOUSE FOR RENOVATION

Situated on a quiet country lane, this property consists of a small riverside cottage, covered outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, large garage, kennels, animal accommodation, above ground heated swimming pool, separate 120 year old stone farmhouse in need of renovation and 35,000M2 of land.

The property is privately located at the edge of a village and is approached along a small road. Metal gates open onto a sloping drive leading to a parking area and garage. The large garage (4.5m x 8.2m) has a mezzanine floor (2.3m x 8.2m) for extra storage.

The ground floor of the cosy cottage has direct access from the garden with a separate first floor accessed from the main road. It may be possible to build an additional floor and add an internal staircase to part of the property which would increase the available living space.

The cottage has a small lounge / dining area (3m x 6m) with views over the garden, steps lead up to a good sized kitchen (3m x 4m) with a selection of wall and floor units and a feature range cooker. Doors lead from the kitchen into a double bedroom (2.5m x 2.7m) to the rear of the property and a pantry (3m x 3.5m) with direct access to the outdoor kitchen (3m x 9m) with BBQ and oven. There is a separate W.C. (1m x 1.5m) to the rear and a family bathroom (1.5m x 2.3m) with shower, located next to the lounge. The property will be sold furnished.

The first floor accommodation is currently only accessed from the main road creating a private space with 2 double bedrooms (2.8m x 2.5m) (2.5m x 3.5m) and a small separate W.C (1m x 1.6m).

The cottage is located in front of the beautiful River Alvoco and is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. There are purpose built kennels (4m x 2m) and separate animal accommodation (6m x 2.5m) which could be adapted into Boarding Kennels or a Cattery generating an extra income. There is also a large garage with storage located at the end of a drive which passes in front of the cottage.

The garden area is fenced with separate access to a good sized over ground heated swimming pool and large flat area of fertile land approx 2000m2.

To the rear of the property there is 35,000m2 area of sloping woodland which is included in the sale together with a separate stone farm house (200M2) in need of renovation. The 120 year old farm house has 3 floors and amazing views towards the Roman bridge and river beach. This property is in a very private location but currently has no direct access; however the current owners do have plans available for the addition of an access road.

A natural spring flows down from the land behind the main house supplying the property with a constant source of fresh mountain water. The spring actually flows under the property and down to the river.

The cottage is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with steps giving direct access to the River Alvoco which offers plenty of opportunities to anyone keen on fresh water fishing, especially if you like Trout! The current owners told us there is a wonderful selection of birds and other wildlife in the area, including otters which they have regularly seen playing in the river close to the house.

Located within walking distance of the property there is an impressive Roman Bridge and a fantastic river beach with a cafe/ bar and large picnic area making this an ideal holiday rental or a home for anyone seeking the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful Portuguese countryside.

The nearest cafes / bars are at the river beach and in the local village just across the river from the property. The main town of Oliveira do Hospital is approximately 15 kms away and provides everyday amenities such as supermarkets, banks and schools etc. There are a number of small villages around the area providing restaurants, play schools and health centres.

The Serra Estrela Mountains are a short drive from the property. The area around is one of outstanding natural beauty with pretty villages, impressive waterfalls, cascading rivers, Roman bridges and stunning views.
