Located in a quiet, residential area a few minutes from the centre of Almancil, this charming Portuguese villa does need a makeover but will make a great family home with rental options as well.

As you look at the property from the road you have entrance gates that lead you down the driveway through to the back garden, a separate entrance to the villa itself and a separate gated entrance to the large garage. The garage is huge and could be turned into a home gym, cinema room or even a self-contained rental apartment with its own entrance.

The villa is divided into two floors. On the ground floor, the open plan living room and dining area are spacious, light and airy. They offer a great space for the family to relax and also entertain friends and family. The kitchen is a good size and currently has plenty of storage - image it with your ideal units, flooring and maybe even a breakfast bar, and you can see the potential this property has. All three bedrooms are on the ground floor as well as the family bathroom.

The first floor of the villa is accessed via an external staircase - another great option for a self-contained guest apartment. The bedroom on the first floor has access to the extensive roof terrace - the perfect sunbathing spot!

Outside, the garden has great potential too. Currently lawned with various fruit trees, there is certainly room to put in a pool, terraced area and even a BBQ and outside dining area.

The villa has its own borehole, is connected to mains water and sewage. In its current state, it is habitable but is crying out for someone to take it under their wing and bring it back to its former glory. With cafés and restaurants, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago all within minutes drive, this villa really should be on your property viewing list today.
