Located in a petty village minutes from the Medieval town of Penela, this property has already been upgraded extensively by the current owners but does still require a little work to finish it. From the front of the house, large metal gates lead into a drive with a workshop to the left and a covered carport. There is access from here to the back of the house and the gardens. The main door has double wooden front doors and internal double glazed inner doors leading from the porch into a nice dining hall with a terracotta tiled floor and a high pine ceiling. On the left is the spacious kitchen with many attractive built in units incorporating a sink, gas hob, electric oven & coffee machine. There are plenty of cupboards, drawers and worktops and a central island/breakfast bar. A glazed door gives access to the patio & garden.
Beautiful stained glass double doors lead from the dining room into a hallway which has a modern shower room on the left and a double bedroom with a stained glass window on the right. A small staircase leads up to an arched wooden door and a small storage space in the 'clock tower'. Stairs on the right lead to the lower floor. Straight ahead, a glass panelled door leads into a spacious lounge which has a vaulted ceiling, tiled floors, a wood burner and two sets of patio doors leading to balconies at the front and back of the house. Off the lounge are two double bedrooms, both with parquet floors and wooden ceilings.
Stairs from the hall lead down to a smaller hallway with rustic wooden panelling and a door to the front garden. Off this hallway is a huge room originally used for processing olives, the original cast iron pots are still in situ. The owners have installed a huge window in here and it wouldn't take much to convert it to further accomodation. There is also a 2nd large lounge/dining room on this level with wooden floors, a tiled ceiling and a wood burner. There are original wood panelled areas on the walls which are believed to be from when the room was used for animal housing/stables. Three sets of patio doors flood this room with light and lead to the back & front of the house. The back garden has fruit trees and mature shrubs with several areas for sunbathing & outside dining and an area for a small pool/hot tub, There is a smaller garden to the front of the house. A further property next to the house requiring renovation is included in the sale, and would make wonderful self contained guest accomodation, offering the opportunity to generate an income through holiday lets.
