Full Description
Great opportunity to buy a traditional 3 bed countryside house in a quite location very popular for overnight stay with pilgrims doing the Lisbon to Santiago da Compostela Camino, there's a door to the side of the house providing access directly to the loft which could easily be converted into a double bedroom with en-suite. There are relatively minor things to finish or a little more if you decide to use the existing project (can be sent on request). This property is prematurely abandon project due to changes in personal circumstances.
About the Property

Unfortunately detrimental to the marketing of the house, the main entrance from the cobbled road is part of the area that is in the project to be finished with a changed lay-out and new entrance door, through an extension area, there is an open plan lounge with an open fireplace which has been double walled with insulation and rendered, from this lounge it's planned to have access to the new entrance reception and hallway, there's an existing arch that connects the lounge to the kitchen, from the kitchen you also access the central hallway, which in turn provides access to the to the double aspect dining room on the left of the hallway, this dining room as a wide opening to a small conservatory area, which was going to become part of the new reception. From the central hallway to the right there's a door that leads to a washing machine point under the staircase with private access from the outside to the loft area. From the hallway there's the new bathroom with an Italian style wet room to the left, one airing wardrobe in the end and 3 bedrooms one of them also providing access via patio doors to the garden at the back.
