Property Ref 156 Birdsong Cottage €124,500
As the name suggests, Birdsong Cottage is in a beautiful, tranquil location, but only a short walk
from the town of Carril and just 10 minutes' drive from the county town of Ferreira do Zezere,
where all everyday amenities are readily available.
A gated driveway leads from a quiet lane, past the garage and well-tended garden to the two-
storey white-rendered cottage (total area: approx. 100 sq m). This lawned garden contains lemon
trees, while pretty flowering shrubs surround the cottage. The property also has a little fruit
orchard behind the sun-terrace at the rear, where oranges, apples and tangerines grow. Mature
elders and olives provide shade on the terrace, which also has a barbecue area, two outside taps,
a sink, a well and ample storage and equipment (including a practically new tractor!).
The entrance to Birdsong Cottage leads from the sun-terrace into a spacious, open-plan lounge,
dining room and kitchen. Two French windows look out onto an olive grove from the lounge and
dining area (these have smart louvred shutters, as do all of the windows in this property). There is
an open fire in the lounge, a spiral staircase to the upper floor, and doors lead off to the family
bathroom and a double bedroom. The fully-equipped kitchen, which also features an open fire, is
off to the right as one enters and is accessed via an archway.
At first floor level, the wrought-iron spiral staircase opens out onto a spacious, light sitting room /
landing, off which are three more double bedrooms. The bedrooms are all comfortably furnished
and have solid pine flooring.
This recently-built, well-maintained property has all the necessary power supplies already
connected, and is ready to move into, as furniture is included in the price.
