This property would make a wonderful family home and offers a wealth of opportunity to those looking to have an income from holiday rentals or perhaps set up an organic working farm. It is
peaceful and private and is accessed via a reasonably maintained track.
The main house currently consists of a 3 bedroom apartment on the 1st floor and a 1 bedroom guest apartment on the ground floor. The roof was replaced approximately 5 years ago.
The courtyard area in front of the house is enclosed and has a paved area for outside dining and a lawn with various fruit trees. A gate from here leads to a secure area currently used as a dog run. You enter the ground floor into a massive reception area which would make a fantastic sunroom, bar/games room or could be opened up to create a large terrace with an outdoor kitchen/bbq area. Off here is a guest cloakroom with a wc and sink. A small tiled hallway leads to a spacious double bedroom with a large dressing room/study and an attractive shower room with a good sized shower, wc and sink. There is also access from the reception area to a spacious kitchen/diner with base units, marble worktops, a double stainless steel sink and a large open fireplace. An archway leads to the lounge/dining room from where we can access the entrance area.
Exterior steps lead up to the 1st floor and an enclosed terrace with large windows which all open to let a breeze in on hotter days.From here a hallway gives access to all other rooms. There are 3 large bright double bedrooms, one of which has an efficient pellet burner. The tiled bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, a wc and a sink. The huge lounge/dining room has 3 large windows which flood the room with light, and a high quality wood burner. A large cupboard off the hall is currently used as a larder/store room and has a hatch to the spacious loft above which has the potential to be converted to further accomodation. The good sized kitchen has wood effect wall and base units, a large 5 burner gas cooker and a stainless steel sink. A door from here leads back to the terrace.
The annexe is opposite the main house and currently consists of 2 large workshops and a garage on the 1st floor and an adega, a workshop and stables/animal pens on the ground floor. There is also another ruin which could be developed subject to planning, both have habitation classification and floor plans outlining the potential.
The land is vast and is made up of terraces, a large flat meadow, wooded areas and garden, with many fruit trees including orange, apple, cherry, peach & fig.
