3- 4 bedroom house overlooking the Rabaçal Valley

Photo Gallery for this property.

Built on the site of an ancient cattle byre, this caringly renovated house has many fascinating features, beautiful views from every room, each room being BIG. Light has been one of the most important considerations in the arrangement of this house, and together with the amazing views and position, artistic leanings of all sorts will find boundless inspiration.

House Features:
Double gates to the entrance - parking for up to three cars.
Entrance porch: 4.5m x 2m . Doors to front and rear, as well as to the house. Yes, it does rain here in the winter, so this is a useful "air-lock" between the elements and the interior of the house.
Dining Room: 5.2m x 4.5m . Doors to kitchen, lounge and double sliding doors to the main garden. Wonderful views.
Kitchen: 4m x 5m . Fitted units (cherry wood) with granite work surfaces. Plenty of room for island or table, should you wish. Extract fan / light over hob. Eye level oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge/freezer to remain. Natural stone feature wall.
Lounge: 8.7m x 4.5m . Two walls are natural stone, two plastered. Double doors giving on to the terrace. There are two large examples of natural bedrock, which create lovely features, and add to the calm ambience of this lovely room. High-spec. Italian wood-burning stove, which warms the house during the, few, cooler months. Double sliding picture window, giving wonderful views. Cool in summer, warm in winter.
Stone staircase leading to the first floor.
Large open area: 5.8m x 4m, which has been used as office, library, and quiet area. In other words a multi-use space. Doors to the upper terrace, bedrooms, and bathroom.
Upper Terrace: 5.6m x 3.5m . The sliding windows can easily be removed in the long summer, if you wish. Great area for evening entertaining. Sometimes used as a fourth bedroom. Breath-taking views.
Bedroom en-suite: 4m x 4.5m . Fitted double wardrobe. The en-suite has a shower, hand basin and wc pedestal. Tiled throughout.
Family bathroom: 2.5m x 2.8m . Bath, wc, bidet, and hand basin. Tiled throughout.
Bedroom: 3.8m x 4.7m . Fitted double wardrobe. Wonderful views.
Bedroom: 3.9m x 4.7m . Fitted double wardrobe. Wonderful views.
Roof space: Accessed via bathroom. Concrete floor. Space for additional rooms, if wanted. 1,000l water tank.
All windows from the house are double-glazed, as are the external doors. The house has full central heating. All floors are tiled.

Outside:
Terrace: 6m x 8m . Power points and light. Sun from sunrise to sunset. Nice and private, too. Brilliant for a hot tub.
Workroom/Garden store: 5.3m x 3m . Power points and light.
Woodstore: 5.5m x 1.8m . More than enough capacity for a Portuguese winter. Also the lockable gas-store.
The gardens contain low maintenance features, three grape vines, and olive, orange, lemon, lime, pomegranate, nespera and quince trees. A 4,500l and a 1,000l water tanks are connected to the rain-water system. Many colourful flowers throughout. Five sitting areas, depending upon the view, sun, or how you feel. Hard-standing area of 6m x 5.5m with vehicular access to road. More of those magnificent views.

Location: The main North-South motorway is accessed via Condeixa (15 min) or Pombal (20min). Porto airport - 1 hour 30min - new airport, very user-friendly. Lisbon airport - 2 hours. Ansião - 10 min - is the administrative town, with all facilities. Very good weekly market. Coimbra - major historic city - 20/25min. Furthest parts of Portugal only six hours away.

Benefits: Low cost of living, pure air, tranquillity, fresh fruit and veg from the markets, wonderful quality of life. Many Portuguese have a smattering of English, helpful in the early times of learning the language, etc... Houses in this area rent out very well, giving a sound income - another possibility?
