Charming Single Level Villa With Large Pool and Beautiful Garden

Accessed via a little lane off the main road, this wonderful property charms you as soon as you drive in through the gates. A cottage style garden greets you, surrounding the front part of the property, with 2 carports and a parking area off to the side. A gate leads to the rear of the property where you enter the villa via a large covered pool-side dining terrace into the spacious kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with quality Miele appliances and there's a little breakfast bar. The kitchen sits in the centre of the villa with the door and window facing the pool on one side, and large patio doors opening to a beautiful covered veranda along the opposite side of the property. This south-facing veranda keeps the interior of the house cool all summer long. The adjacent living room also opens on to this same terrace. The living room is split into a dining area plus a sitting room with high ceiling and a 'Fogo Montana' quality fireplace. The master bedroom is off the living room and has its own large private bathroom, plus patio doors to the front terrace and garden. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are on the opposite side of the villa, beyond the kitchen, and share a shower room with a heated towel rail. All the bedrooms are air-conditioned (for heating and cooling) and all have fitted wardrobes. The house also benefits from quality double-glazed windows plus roll-down shutters on all south-facing windows (to keep heat out) and security grills on all other windows.

To the rear of the property lies a wonderful 10 x 5 metre swimming pool set within a lovey garden offering total privacy. There are a number of out-buildings next to the house and pool. Adjacent to the house is laundry/ utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, chest freezer and a fridge freezer. There's also a craft room/ study (with an electric heater), currently used as an occasional bedroom. Then there's a fabulous covered barbecue area, with a large brick barbecue and sink, complete with a shower room and toilet beside the pool. Finally, there are 2 small rooms used to store gardening equipment and tools, plus the pool pump room. The garden and pool area is securely fenced for dogs. 

Going back out of the side gate, the path leads to the rest of the plot (which is also fully fenced). There are lots of lovely mature trees and a small seasonal brook runs along the north boundary. There's a large chicken coop and run, plus ample space for a vegetable garden and even other animals (the total plot size is 3360 m² = 0.83 acres). A well provides water for irrigation. The house is on mains water supply (with a large back-up tank for any outages).

This property is only a 5-minute walk from all the amenities in the delightful village of Budens, including the Intermarche supermarket, and several restaurants & cafés. The nearby golf resort (Golfe Santo Antonio) is also within walking distance and their facilities include golf, tennis, spa, gym and restaurants. The picturesque beach resort of Salema is less than 3kms away (35-minute walk) and offers an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and cafés and a long stretch of golden sandy beach. Other nearby beaches include the totally unspoilt beaches of Boca do Rio and Figueira, both approximately 3kms away, located within the highly protected and beautiful Natural Park where local fauna and flora flourish.

This villa is perfect as a permanent home and for anyone looking for space and privacy yet within easy walking distance to amenities that the village has to offer. The property is being sold furnished.
