2 bedroom stone house near Penela

Excellently located 2 bedroom stone house with fantastic long distance views, located at the edge of a small hillside village between Penela and Miranda do Corvo, the property is rural yet only a 7 minute walk to a local cafe and small restaurant and only a few minutes more to get to a town with all day to day facilities including GP's surgery.

Coimbra is 30 minutes away and the coast is 45 minutes by car.

The house covers a build area of 119 m2, the main entrance to the property is into the kitchen which is light and airy and has its own wood burner, from where you can access the remaining house in 3 directions, to the left is the access to the master double bedroom which is ensuite, the lounge is large with its own wood burner and Juliette balcony with views over the valley, there is a 'family' bathroom with bathtub and a separate 'snug' sitting room / office area.

From the kitchen there is also a self contained unit which has its own independent access to outside, ideal for visiting guests or, as has happened previously, it could be rented out.

A third door from the kitchen leads outside to the covered car port with large double gates making a private area that also houses the Oil fired central heating tank and doors to the ground floor of the property, currently not used for habitation.

This lower level could be accessed via an internal stairway from the 'snug' and has recently had all necessary works completed for it to be converted to extra bedrooms and a bathroom or it could be converted to another self contained unit, the works carried out include a damp proofing membrane put in under the new concrete floor.

From this level you exit directly to the garden and pool area and completing these works would certainly add value and possibilities to the property.

However as it stands the property is large and all one level making it ideal for anyone wanting to avoid stairs in their day to day life.

The garden belonging to the property is mostly flat and entirely fenced, it has a variety of fruit trees including Lemon, Mandarins, Figs, Cherry, Pomegranates, Peaches, Olives, grape vines and a Walnut tree, in total it covers 1060m2, 410m of this is classified as Urban and so if you wished a cottage could be built there, this is at the far end of the garden, beyond the pool.

There is also a well with old fashioned pumping wheel attached.

There is also a 10×4 m swimming pool with a new pool pump and a covered veranda with BBQ overlooking the pool, from the whole garden and house are lovely long distance views of the surrounding valley and countryside.

There is a stone built outbuilding which has a fireplace and could be converted to a small extra bedroom or as an independent office, or simply kept for garden tools !

The kitchen and bathroom have been recently refurbished, the roofs over the garage and annex are new, throughout the property all wood work including the beams were chemically treated in 2015, the septic tank was re built in 2010 and the house was rewired in 2009.
