Full Description
Property Reference: 2890
Located on the edge of a peaceful hamlet, surrounded by beautiful countryside, this 2-bedroom, single-storey, home would make for great year-round living, or lock-up-and-leave holiday cottage.
Gates open to a gravel, wraparound driveway. There is plenty of parking next to the house, plus a carport for 2 cars.
The front door opens to the living room with an area to relax next to the wood-burning fireplace, and a dining area next to the kitchen. Patio doors open to a spacious covered terrace off the south-side of the house - a great space for relaxing in the shade while soaking up the views. A small summer kitchen area is ideal for alfresco dining.
An arch from the living room leads to the kitchen with granite worktops, eye level ovens, ceramic hob and extractor, plus under-counter fridge and freezer and a dishwasher. A picture window over the sink looks onto the pretty courtyard on the north-side of the house.
The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a window facing west. The 2nd bedroom has patio doors onto the south terrace and a large walk-in closet, currently used as a store-room. The family bathroom features a shower cubicle with jets. There is a separate laundry cupboard which houses the washing machine as well as space for linen.
Outside, the mature gardens are filled with flowering plants and trees. There is some fencing around the property.
The area is peaceful and perfect for walking or cycling, with easy access to nature trails. It is about a 10-minute cycle to Vale Fuzeiros with a selection of cafés and restaurants. The market town of São Bartolomeu de Messines is a 5-minute drive with shops, restaurants, library, health centre and train station with connections to Lisbon. The medieval town of Silves is just over 10 minutes away, and there are international schools (Dutch, German and English-language) within 10-20km. It is about a 25-minute drive to the coast and 45 minutes from Faro airport.
