Penela, Beira Litoral, Portugal

Superb 4 bedroom property with heated pool, located in a nice village just South of the medieval town of Penela, Coimbra. The owners are reluctantly selling this very spacious property, as they are now downsizing here in Portugal.

The house is in an elevated position with great views of the village and beyond. This really special property is recently on the market and early viewings are recommended. The house faces South-East with the pool to the front and the large detached annex to the rear.

House 2nd floor - Hardwood stairs from the floor below lead up to the 2nd floor en-suite master bedroom. The bedroom has a quality hardwood floor and patio style doors that open onto a covered terrace with great views. The fully-tiled, en-suite bathroom has a shower, W.C. and basin. Opposite the bathroom is the walk in closet with lots of storage space and mirrored sliding doors.

House 1st floor - The main entrance door opens onto a central hallway with the very spacious lounge/dining room to the right. This room is full of natural light and has doors that open onto a huge exterior terrace. The dining area is to the right of the room, with the lounge area that has a wood burner fire to the left. From the lounge you pass into a fully-fitted kitchen diner with lots of storage space in the base and wall units. The kitchen has large fridge/freezer, electric hob and oven, double stainless steel sink, microwave and polished granite work surfaces. The kitchen also has sliding doors that open onto the terrace in front of the pool. A second door in the kitchen leads to an ante room with doors to a spacious en-suite bedroom that has a fully- tiled bathroom, large shower cubicle, W.C. and basin. This en-suite bedroom has nice views of the village and surrounding countryside. There are a further 2 double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and a further fully-tiled bathroom! At the end of the entrance hall is a pantry by the kitchen and also a door that takes you down the stone staircase to the ground floor.

House ground floor - Stairs from the 1st floor lead to a long corridor that has a door to the laundry room that has a washing machine, tumble dryer and sink. At the end of the corridor is a kitchen that services the terrace by the pool. The terrace has a BBQ and is a nice location for alfresco dining whilst enjoying the pool. The service kitchen has a sink, fridge/freezer, gas hob and microwave. Across the corridor is yet another bathroom, not far from the pool, with a shower, basin and W.C. Leaving the kitchen area you pass into a wide corridor that has doors to the spacious garage with automatic doors, and another door that opens onto the driveway. This corridor also houses the oil tank for the central heating. The central heating boiler has an access door from the driveway, making oil deliveries easy.

Pool area - The large pool is set within its own terrace with a non-slip surround and retractable cover that can be used in the cooler months. The pool is heated by the nearby heat pump enabling the owners to swim all of the year. The location of the pool also ensures privacy and easy access to the service kitchen and bathroom.

Exterior spaces - Automatic double gates open onto a calçada paved driveway that takes you up to the garage, rear of the property, detached storage annex and gates to the track at the rear. The lawns are well-kept with some mature trees and there is a perimeter fence around the property. The fence is ideal for families with young children or dogs and has gates at the front and rear of the property. Close to the rear gates is a large annex that can be used for storage and would also make a nice studio or workshop.

This is a property in a great location that has the lot! It would suit a large family with 2 generations due to its space and layout , and would also make a great investment opportunity if it was to be rented out to holiday makers or D7 visa applicants.
