Property Ref 141 Casa do Mercado €74,000
An interesting building with a working history, Casa do Mercado has a style all of its own. Once a
village store, the property sits alongside the road in a little town not far from Ferreira do Zezere and
the historical city of Tomar.
The main building has access to the front and the side via three double doors. The facade is nicely
balanced with stone steps leading up to the entrances on both sides, and three shaped windows
along its length. It is built on two floors, as is the large storeroom extension behind. More storage
space has been added to one side of this, where there is also a large garage and workshop facing
onto a quiet country lane. The total area of the roadside property is approximately 215 sq m, although
prospective buyers may want to knock down or rebuild some parts to improve the overall
appearance.
In addition, accessed from the lane via the garage area is a courtyard garden containing a well and
fruit trees, and another sizeable building (50 sq m, two-storey) with its own private garden that
backs onto open countryside. This building was originally of traditional stone construction and many
features have been preserved. Those parts that have been maintained using more modern materials
would benefit from rendering, and this is well worth considering, as separate accommodation could
be made of this annexe.
