Large four bed house near vila nova de poiares


This deceptively spacious, older style property is located in a small, friendly village on the outskirts of the popular market town of Vila Nova de Poiares. The house offers 4 good sized bedrooms, a large lounge, study, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a sun room and further reception room. The house has been modernised but retains much of its original character, a woodburning stove and central heating have recently been installed. The halls are wide and the house is light and airy. The downstairs has been converted into a comfortable family living space with access out to a spacious back garden with room for a pool. To the rear there are storage sheds, a separate room with an original bread oven and a covered terrace, perfect for the addition of an outdoor kitchen.

The property is set back off a quite road with a paved front garden offering off road parking and access to the rear garden. Although semi-detached, the house feels very private.

First floor:

Steps up from the garden lead into a wide hallway (4.6m x 1.5m) with doors leading off to the first floor accommodation. The current owner has maximised the amount of natural light flooding into the house with the addition of a sun room (2.6m x 2.6m) to the front which offers a relaxing and comfortable area to enjoy, whatever the weather. Next to the sun room is a family bathroom (1.7m x 1.8m) with shower. The spacious hallway leads into a large kitchen (4.8m x 2.35m) with floor units to 2 walls, plumbing for a washing machine and a wood burner. Hot water is provided by a new gas boiler.

Doors lead from the hallway into the first double bedroom (2.8m x 2.5m), with views over the surrounding countryside. Opposite, double doors lead into a pleasant dining room (3.75m x 3.12m) with a serving hatch to the kitchen. A door from the dining room leads into the master bedroom (3.64m x 4m), a large, airy double with patio doors leading onto a terrace to the rear. Both rooms have original parquet flooring.

Towards the end of the hallway, there is a door leading out on to a small terrace with steps leading down into the rear garden. The views from this terrace are amazing, stretching across the beautiful and peaceful surrounding countryside.

Ground floor:

Stairs lead down from a spacious landing (3.2m x 2.8m) into a large, family lounge (4.25m x 5.4m) with beamed ceilings and tiled floors. Due to the thickness of the walls, the room stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A further new wood burner with back boiler provides direct heating and runs the central heating system. The room has patio doors leading directly to the back garden which also provide a good deal of light.

An arched doorway leads from the lounge into a peaceful reading room (3.3m x 2.8m) with doors to bedrooms 3 and 4. Bedroom 3 (2.6m x 2.9m) is a small double with a window to the side of the property. Bedroom 4 (4m x 3.4m) is a good sized double with a window and door leading out into the garden.

Behind the stairs, a door leads into a further reception room (2.6m x 2.7m) which could be converted into a second kitchen, making the ground floor self-contained. There is a modern second bathroom (1.7m x 2.3m) to the front with a shower and feature, coloured glass block walls.

Outside areas:

The land to the front and rear of the house is flat and currently provides off road parking to the front. The rear garden has double metal gates leading from a quiet lane which gives access to a further parking area. This area would benefit from landscaping and offers an excellent space for a pool. To the rear of the land are storage sheds (3m x 5m), a covered terrace (3m x 3.5m) and a separate store (4m x 4.8m) housing an original Chanfana (local stew) / bread oven. These areas could be converted into a fabulous outdoor entertaining area.

Although the village has no actual amenities, there is a daily delivery of fresh bread and a weekly delivery of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. The nearest cafe is a comfortable 25 min walk and the town of Vila Nova de Poiares a 5 min drive and offers most everyday facilities including schools, health centre, supermarkets, weekly local markets, gym, banks, vets, bowling alley, Go kart track, indoor & outdoor swimming pools etc. There is also a bus terminal offering regular bus services into Coimbra and the surrounding towns and villages. The area is popular with international expats and has a good local community.
