Property Ref 185 Casa do Campo €231,750
This substantial, stone-built villa stands on a cobbled lane in a mountain village, midway between
Penela and Condeixa-a-Nova (just 10 km away). There are two separate annexes, as well as the
villa, and 1,000 sq m of land with a kitchen garden and many mature trees (olives, orange, lemon,
tangerine, plum and a huge palm!).
A double, wrought-iron gated entrance leads to a large, walled courtyard (70 sq m), and provides
access via stone steps to the huge sun terrace that extends to the rear of the villa and overlooks
the garden/land. To the right of the villa, with its own gateway, is one of the two annexes (approx.
50 sq m on two storeys). Further down the lane is another wrought-iron gate leading to a side
entrance to the villa and an open gateway to the second annexe (approx. 40 sq m on one level).
The villa comprises a spacious lounge (6m x 6m) with double aspect and three sets of double
doors leading off to the dining room (3m x 4m, with balcony to the side), a sitting room (3m x 4m)
and a hallway (2.6m x 3m). The hallway gives access to four good-sized bedrooms, a large family
bathroom and steps down to the second annexe (at present, a large kitchen with an open range, a
separate pantry and a utility room).
The courtyard enables access to the lower floor of the villa, which was used mainly for storage
when the house was occupied. It comprises one large room (10m x 6m) and two other rooms
(5m x 4m), all with beamed ceilings. In addition, off the courtyard are three more sizeable storage
rooms and a double garage.
This property has a huge stone water tank for domestic and irrigation purposes and mains
electricity in situ. Given sympathetic restoration, Casa do Campo would make a lovely, big family
home with a style all of its own.
