Beautiful traditional Asturian house in Quirós.

This house is located in a typical mountain village in Asturias, at an altitude of about 740 m, in an environment dominated by the impressive limestone mass of Peña Rueda, surrounded by native forests and pastures, where time seems to stop and invites us to enjoy and live more slowly. This house is part of the urban landscape of the small town of Villar de Cienfuegos, belonging to the parish of Cienfuegos and which is reached via a good road. It is located very close (7 kilometres by car) to the capital of the municipality of Quirós, Bárzana. In a place surrounded by mountains, away from noise and stress and 52 km from Oviedo (53 minutes by car). It is a small sample of the ethnographic wealth of the Asturian mountains, in a rural and mountainous environment, with magnificent views, very close to the Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in July 2012.

The possibilities for outdoor activities in the area are endless: hiking, mountaineering, cross-country skiing, climbing, mountain biking, fishing, hunting or simply tourism.

As for the property, it consists of a house plus a small orchard, right in front of the house, attached to a stable that belongs to other owners. The house has three floors plus an attic and occupies a total constructed area of ��159 m2.

The ground floor, of 46 m2, is used as a stable or warehouse and its condition requires a reform that will depend on the use to which it is destined.

On the first floor, with a constructed area of ��61 m2, we enter a hall that leads us to a bathroom that needs a good renovation and where a butane gas heater is installed. From the hall we also access a large and bright kitchen, facing south, equipped with a coal or wood stove and a butane gas stove. Back in the hall we pass, on the left, to a room or living room that leads to the wooden corridor, closed and also facing south, which offers us a bright, warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We go up to the next floor where the bedroom area is and where we arrive at an anteroom that gives us access on the left to a room facing east, on the right to an old hearth or kitchen with a masonry oven and, at the back, to two more rooms, the one on the left facing east and south and the one on the right facing south. Also from the hall on this floor, via a staircase with a door that gives access to the outside, you go up to the attic, a large but low space, which limits its use to storage or storage.

The condition of the house is generally good, including the roof. It has no damp, but it does need a renovation or a good conditioning, especially in order to enjoy a good quality of life.

In front of the house is the land, approximately 35 m2, also facing south and which can be a good option for entertainment, as a garden to work the land or simply as a rest area.
