A three bedroom detached farmhouse in perfectly habitable condition with many storage rooms and land for sale near Sertã, Central Portugal.

The house, which is set over two floors, has a footprint of 135 square meters and has a plot of land measuring 3.540 square meters. This property has much potential to be easily converted into a lovely family home with extra space for visitors. The land is a good size to grow most of the necessary vegetables to feed a family.
The main entrance to the house is via stone steps at the side of the house leading to a large veranda with good views into the well kept garden and the surrounding landscape. From the main door there is a corridor with a dividing door. To the right there are two doors, one leading into a fully tiled kitchen and the other to a bedroom. The kitchen has wooden base and eye level units and a free standing stove-cooker.
To the left, there are also two doors, one leading into a bedroom or office, the second to a partially tiled bathroom with bathtub, toilet, bidet and pedestal sink. The corridor ends at a diving door, which gives access to a living room from which there is a door to the right to another bedroom. Up front there is a door to the master bedroom, which is triple aspect and has french doors to a balcony overlooking the garden to the front of the house. The floors in all these rooms are wood or wood parquet, all are in very good state of repair. The only exception is in the kitchen and the bathroom, where the floors are tiled.

From the large veranda to the side of the house on the first floor there is a large annex space which could easily be converted into more living space and integrated into the rest of the first floor.
