The mature garden areas close to the house have a variety of plants, bushes and trees that combine to make a very special place.

Period property with approximately 12,000m2 of land located 10 minutes from the town of Ansião.

This 6/7 bedroom, 2 bathroom property has lots of space and charm and great views. The house is in good condition with many rooms that retain original features. The land is to the rear and would suit horses as there is plenty of space. There is also a large swimming pool in the garden that needs some work to bring it back to its best.

Exterior:

There are ground floor doors to the front of the property, but the best way to enter is at the rear. The double metal gates to the side of the house open onto a large courtyard. This area has off-road parking for 8 or more cars and there is a small barn for storage. The walled area to the rear has a central garden, pool area with pool house, W.C. and open storage building. At the centre of the garden is a huge fig tree that supplies lots of fruit. The rest of the land is through the gates opposite the entrance. The terrain is flat with some olive trees and a huge stone `Eira´. There is also a kitchen garden and a well for irrigation.

House:

Ground floor - There are 2 doors into the rear of the property, one of which takes you into the old rustic kitchen that has 2 bread ovens and a huge fireplace. From here you pass into the original kitchen with a stone slab fireplace and an octagonal stone pillar supporting the large chimney. The kitchen also has stone work surfaces that were fitted with wooden cupboards in the past. The rest of the ground floor is made up of a double bedroom, bathroom, Adega and a large pantry with the original exposed ceiling beams. There is also an internal wooden staircase up to the 1st floor.

1st floor - The staircase leads to a wide central corridor that gives access to 5 double bedrooms, a lounge with door to a balcony at the rear of the house, a dining room and a study. All the windows have the original wooden shutters and the floors are in polished pine with various designs. At the end of the corridor is the `Marquise´ that lets in lots of natural light. The Marquise has a stone floor and door to a large bathroom. Back in the rear lounge is the door to the balcony that has steps down to the ground floor garden. The views from the balcony are wonderful!

This is a period property that has been well-maintained over the years and would make a great family home. It could also appeal to someone looking for a home, part of which could be rented to house hunters or tourists. It would also suit someone who keeps horses as there is plenty of space to the rear of the property.
