Full Description
This spacious property is situated between the picturesque coastal villages of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo, and is easy walking distance to cafés and restaurants. The main house (ground floor and upstairs) has 4 bedrooms plus a large games room, and the basement has been converted to a two-bedroom guest annex plus garage.
Electric gates open to a traditional cobblestone (calçada) driveway which leads to the house and plenty of parking.
Double wood front doors open to a spacious entrance hall with marble floor and staircase to the upper level. On your left is a large lounge with patio doors to the wrap around terrace, that provides plenty of shady seating areas and pleasant garden views. The attractive stone fireplace is centrally located, and double doors open to the impressive sized dining room. Both the lounge and the dining room have wood floors. The dining room has direct access to the hall and the kitchen.
The generous kitchen features a central island with dark granite work tops and a breakfast bar. The fitted cupboards and drawers provide plenty of storage space. There is plenty of natural light from the window overlooking the rear garden and swimming pool. A door leads to the poolside, and a utility room at the end of the kitchen provides plenty of space for the washing machine and dryer. There is a further utility room on the lower, basement level.
The four bedrooms are located on the East side of the property and all boast en-suite bathrooms and built in wardrobes. The third bedroom has a sitting area, and the fourth bedroom currently has a small kitchenette. The fourth bedroom is accessed through the third bedroom, so it could be used as a gym or home office if desired, or if used together the two rooms makes a separate guest annex. All rooms are very spacious, and the third and fourth bedrooms have access to the front terrace and gardens. There is also a guest bathroom in the hallway.
The staircase leads up to an enormous room which is being used as a games room. It has a large terrace with fabulous distant sea views and mountain views to the north. This would make an excellent master bedroom.
Stairs off the kitchen utility room lead down to the basement level, where there is another utility or store room and a connecting door to a two bedroom guest annex. This has its own lounge and kitchen, and also has direct access to the garage and the pool terraces, with its own access via a side gate.
The gardens are full of mature trees and shrubs, and a variety of fruit trees including pomegranate, lemon, grapefruit, lime and fig to name but a few. The pool area is a fabulous space to relax and has an outside pergola with changing areas. The large 14 x 8m pool is 2.4 metres deep and is surrounded by a terrace with ample room for relaxing and soaking up the sun. Next to the pool is a pool house and changing area.
The house is totally private and not overlooked by anyone. It has many extras including a 60,000 litre cisterna which is fed by rainwater and can be topped up from mains water. The house has a central vacuuming system and in the garage is a water purification system, that works with two tanks. The hot water is provided by solar and has a 500 litre tank, with a back-up system.
This charming home is ideally located, just 5 minutes drive from gorgeous beaches and golf courses, and walking distance to cafés and restaurants. Lagoa, with its wide variety of shops and supermarkets, is only 3 km and both the Nobel international school and the German school are just 6 km. Faro airport is about 40 minutes on the motorway.
