Ideal as a permanent or second home, the welcoming feel of the property is undeniable, we know you are going to fall in love with it.

As you enter the plot via the electric gates the cobbled driveway leads you up to the villa. There is room for several cars on the driveway or you can use the private garage, also with electric doors. Entering the main villa the hallway, with brickwork ceiling, is bright and welcoming and leads you through to the large living room. Flooded with natural light the living room has a wood-burning fire, a TV area as well as patio doors that open onto the pool and terrace area.

Moving down the hallway, which is complete with fitted wardrobes for extra storage, there are 2 guest suites. The first is ensuite, comes with fitted wardrobes, and has pool access via patio doors. The second suite is currently being used as a library but would make a great office, chill-out area or further accommodation and also has access to the pool.

The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of work surfaces and opens out into the family-sized dining room and covered dining area outside. Both areas are light and airy and the villa also comes with a pantry and laundry room. Completing the ground floor level is the guest bathroom.

Moving upstairs, the master bedroom is ensuite and has a private dressing area that enjoys some of the best views from the property - sweeping country vistas over the Algarve countryside down to the ocean.

Outside, the heated swimming pool has a tile surround with plenty of room for a sun lounger or two. There is a covered dining area as well as a seating area under a pergola to enjoy alfresco dining, or to just get out of the sun for an hour or two. The mature garden and fenced plot ensure privacy, although with just a handful of neighbours dotted here and there this country property certainly offers peace and tranquility.

Complete with security alarm, air conditioning, double glazing, mains water and cisterna this villa is the ideal purchase for those looking to have a peaceful and calm lifestyle in the Algarve.
