Property description
A unique opportunity to purchase a 1 bedroom detached cottage with a separate 1 bedroom annex. This charming, rustic property is located in a very quiet hamlet near the towns of Penela, Miranda do Corvo and Espinhal in the district of Coimbra. Both cottages have been renovated and sit on a plot of approximately 391m2, with a perimeter stone wall surrounding the garden area. The hamlet has 5 properties, nearly all of which are holiday homes, giving the location a peaceful environment. The medieval town of Penela with all modern-day amenities is only 5 minutes away.
Cottage A:
This charming cottage has been sympathetically restored and retains some of the original features. The pine wooden front door opens onto a lounge area that has a vaulted ceiling and slate stone floor. This area has a TV and L shaped sofa with openings to the kitchen/diner and bedroom. The bedroom has an exterior door that opens onto a private courtyard with stone walls. This area could also be developed for extra space.
The fully-fitted kitchen has lots of natural light that floods in through the double-glazed windows. It is here you will also find a dining area and wood burner stove for the winter months. The kitchen also has a water heater to supply hot water to the kitchen and bathroom.
By the dining area is a large bathroom with W.C., basin and shower area with a natural stone surround and bespoke pine door.
Above the kitchen area is a spacious exterior terrace with wooden stairs. The terrace has great views of the surrounding countryside and distant mountains, and makes a great place to relax and take in the views.
Cottage B (with mezzanine floor):
This open-plan stone property is just a few meters from Cottage A and has the adjoining garden/terrace area with a wooden storage shed. The exterior has been rendered in sand and cement with lots of exposed stone giving it a real rustic feel. The front door opens onto the kitchen/lounge area that has a wood stove and fitted kitchen. Past the kitchen area is a seating space and a door to the bathroom that has a W.C., basin and natural stone shower with a floor drain and mixer taps. In front of the bathroom is a wooden staircase that leads up to a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed and 2 original windows.
As mentioned, the exterior of this property has a large stone terrace area by the garden with a BBQ where you can prepare alfresco dinners and lunches!
This is a property that would make a nice retirement home with separate cottage for visiting family, friends or paying guests. It would also make a good investment for short or long term rentals.
The furniture at the property can be purchased at a separate price.
