DETACHED THREE BEDROOM STONE COTTAGE NEAR PENELA

This cottage is situated on a quiet lane on the edge of a pretty village with wonderful views over the peaceful Portuguese countryside. The house is surrounded by rolling hills, large areas of open land marked with stone walls and olive trees, there are tracks leading in all directions making this an ideal location for anyone who enjoys walking or cycling.

This pretty stone cottage (120m2) has been restored by its current owner using local materials maintaining the character and style you would expect from this type of property. The thick stone walls and wooden windows with internal wooden shutters keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This property has the living areas on the first floor to maximise the wonderful views and bedrooms on the ground floor.

Double gates open from the quiet lane into a charming courtyard with feature raised flower beds, mature trees and shrubs, steps lead up into the main garden area to the rear. There are 2 stone outbuildings opposite the main house which once renovated would offer an excellent opportunity to extend the property.

FIRST FLOOR

The main house can be accessed from an external stone staircase which leads from the courtyard into a small but light and airy entrance hall (2.5m x 1.5m). Patio doors lead into a cosy lounge (3.2m x 5.2m) with a vaulted ceiling, wood burner and window overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Doors lead into a fantastic kitchen/ dining area (5.2m x 5.5m) with a vaulted ceiling, windows offering triple access and large patio doors opening directly onto a large terrace. The kitchen has floor units along one wall and an island for dining and extra storage. There is an integrated gas hob and electric oven set in black granite worktops. This large room is a great feature of this property and extends out on to a fantastic beamed terrace with extensive views over the garden and surrounding countryside. An internal wooden staircase leads from the kitchen to the ground floor hallway. Steps also lead from the terrace down to the garden and access to the ground floor.

GROUND FLOOR

Steps lead directly from the garden into the main bedroom (5.2m x 2.5m) with patio doors and windows with wooden internal shutters to the front and side offering plenty of natural light to this good sized room.

The large hallway (3.2m x 4m) with patio doors leading out into the courtyard also has plumbing for a washing machine under the wooden staircase which leads up to the first floor kitchen and terrace. The hallway leads to a family bathroom (2.5m x 2.4m) with a bath, shower and shelves for storage.

The second bedroom (4m x 2.3m) is currently used as a single but is large enough for a double. There is a small window to the land behind the house.

A good sized third bedroom (4m x 3m) has a small study area with a window overlooking the courtyard and an en-suite shower room (3.3m x 2.3m) to the rear.

OUTSIDE AREA

The main area accessed from the terrace and bedroom is flat and completely private and offers plenty of space for the addition of a swimming pool. The garden is divided by low stone walls, mature trees, shrubs and feature threshing circles, perfect for outdoor dining areas. There is a small vegetable plot and beehives behind the property. The land is bordered by stone walls which extend into further plots which the current owners did consider purchasing from a local resident in the village to extend the garden of the property.
