Full Description
Located in Bishops square, and opposite the Igreja de Sao Paulo, this property originates from the 1890s and is full of history. It has been carefully restored to its previous glory by the current owners. Set on 3 levels, with different access points from 2 streets, it comprises a 4 5-bedroom villa with pool, patio, and terrace, a self-contained T1 apartment on the ground floor and a garage for 2 cars + a wine cellar.
The main entrance to the house is through a traditional style wooden door. From here a beautiful stone staircase gives access to a central corridor for 3 double bedrooms. The Princess bedroom has a high wooden ceiling and a beautiful walk in en-suite shower room with separate toilet. On the opposite side of the corridor is the Relax bedroom with its ensuite shower room. It has views directly towards the church across the street and a special corner space with original stone benches. There is another double bedroom in the centre of the house with a family bathroom opposite.
On the top floor are 2 bedrooms and a lovely bathroom with roman bath. You can access a huge terrace from there and enjoy the sun set over the "quatro aguas" rooftop.
At the far end of the house is an open plan lounge dining kitchen living space illuminated by a patio with a skylight to the side. There is also a chimney for cosy winter nights. French doors open onto the private courtyard garden where you have the luxury of your own pool in the centre of the city. The sound of water cascading from the stone walls gives it the feel like a Moroccan Ryad. To the side is plenty of space for alfresco dining beside an old lemon tree. There is also access to the courtyard from the back street for a car.
On one side of the courtyard is a staircase going to a beautiful wine cellar which in turn leads to a double garage. From the garage a hidden door leads into the ground floor apartment that is also accessible directly from the street. It has a lounge area, a separate kitchen, and a bedroom with its own bathroom. From the kitchen and the bedroom, you also have access to a small patio.
Extras include solar panels for hot water, double glazing tilted windows, A C, and log burner
A wonderful property with bundles of character, it would make an incredible home to relocate to.
