Situated next to a quiet country lane, the property consists of two attached 2-storey houses in need of some renovation. There is also a barn, an outhouse and a number of storage rooms.

House one (on the right in the picture of the front of the property) has a total area of 171m2 and is the smaller of the two houses. The upper floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom with bath, toilet, bidet and washbasin. There is a room that was recently used as a kitchen; a living room with door to the front, room/hall with an open fireplace and door to the rear with steps to the lower level of the property. The property would benefit from some rearrangement of the internal space to enhance the accommodation. The lower floor of the house has two rooms used as storage which could be adapted for more living space if required; there is also an attached garage/workshop.

House two (on the left in the picture of the front of the property) is 210m2. A short flight of steps leads to the front door and opens into a room which gives access to rest of the house, including: three bedrooms; a corridor leading to a small bathroom containing a toilet; kitchen with old, open fireplace and small larder/store cupboard, door to rear with steps to the lower level; stairs to attic space with feature stone wall. As with house one, this house could also benefit from some internal rearranging of the accommodation to make better use of the living space. The lower floor has an adega and storage areas which could also provide further accommodation. Attached to the end of the property is an additional large workshop/storage area.

Both houses have original wooden shutters and flooring throughout, some rooms have exposed wooden beams.

The land, measuring 8500m2, is situated at the rear and sides of the property and includes a stream, has a very pleasant outlook and views of the hills in the distance. There is a good sized barn that previously housed animals, plus an outhouse. The property has a borehole which is useful for irrigation; there is a range of trees including apple, pear, olive, walnut, lemon, almond, plum, diospira, nespera plus grape vines. The property is connected to mains electricity. Mains water is not connected due to the existence of the borehole which provides drinking quality water. However, if required, mains water could easily be connected as there is already a mains pipe next to the property and all that is required is the installation of a meter from the local council.

The property is highly recommended for anyone looking for versatile accommodation which could provide a very spacious family home, rental business or similar and is well worth a viewing.
