Castelo Branco, Castelo Branco 6000

Detached 5 bedroom property in great location approximately 15 minutes from the lovely town of Proença-A-Nova, Castelo Branco. The property sits on a plot of 1961m2 and enjoys wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Access is good via tarmac roads and the property is sited near the end of a quiet country lane. There are no nearby neighbours, ensuring a relaxing environment. The property has land and some outbuildings opposite the main house that can be renovated. Exterior: Double metal gates give access to the house with well-maintained gardens full of plants, flowers and bushes. This area attracts local birds that serenade for most of the day until evening. The garden also has stone paths that wind their way through the flower filled arbours, with the scent of roses and other flowers. The land and garden has approximately 20 olive trees, plus orange trees, lemon, fig, avocado, pear, plum, dispiros, cherry, apricot, loquat, peach, apple, lime and bay. At the end of the garden is an above ground pool where you can cool off when the weather gets hot! At the side of the pool is a greenhouse for the cultivation of plants for the garden and land. Beyond the pool is a wonderful olive grove with lots of space for a kitchen garden. Between the house and the garden is a patio with Bbq - perfect for alfresco dining! On the opposite side of the house there is a very private terrace with small hot tub where you can relax and top up the tan! Opposite the entance gates to the property are the old animal enclosures and a barn for renovation. Here you will also find a covered carport for 2 vehicles. House ground floor: The front door from the garden opens onto a hallway with original schist walls and a W.C. That services this area. From the hall you pass into the spacious lounge, again with the lovely schist walls that have been preserved throughout the property where possible. The lounge has a wood burner stove for the cooler winter months. There are also hot/cold A/C units at the property. From the lounge you pass into the very spacious kitchen/diner that is full of natural light and has patio doors to the garden. The fully- fitted kitchen has all modern-day appliances that include fridge/freezer, double sink, dishwasher, washing machine, electic oven with hob and polished granite work surfaces. Opposite the kitchen is the dining area with lovely views of the garden. Back in the hall is a door that opens onto the ground floor en-suite master bedroom. Once again, we have those wonderful schist walls and a room full of light. The bedroom has a walk-in closet and bathroom with W.C., walk-in shower and basin. 1st floor: A lovely granite staircase leads up to the 1st floor from the hall and onto a central corridor. Here we have doors to 4 double bedrooms, all with nice views of the gardens and nearby countryside. There is also a bathroom with basin, Wc, and bath with mixer taps and overhead shower. The 1st floor has a lovely rustic feel with exposed ceiling beams and good quality terracotta floor tiles. This is a really nice, well-maintained property that has been sympathetically restored and is ready to move into. It would suit a large family, or someone with reduce mobility as it has the ground floor bedroom. It could also be an investment as a rental property!
