Superb, 6 bedroom property located close to the medieval town of Penela, just 20 minutes from the city of Coimbra. This very spacious, luxurious villa was constructed approximately 12 years ago using only the best of materials. The house has been designed with 3 levels and is accessed through automatic gates at the front of the property.

The front door to the side elevation opens onto a hallway with doors to the study/office, door to front elevation gardens, large bar and gaming room with nice views of the garden, fully-tiled bathroom with shower, W.C., bidet and basin and integral single door to the garage.

First Floor - The polished granite staircase, with metal balustrade, leads up to the first floor landing area that has a door to the side terrace that wraps around the property on the front elevation. The landing area also has doors to the front lounge with pátio-style doors onto the terrace. At the side of the lounge is the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes in oak. To the left of the master bedroom is another fully-tiled bathroom that services the other 2 double bedrooms on this level. Just past these 2 bedrooms is the very spacious fully-fitted kitchen/dining room. The bespoke kitchen has hardwood base and wall units with polished granite work surfaces. The kitchen has a stainless steel sink with mixer tap, fridge/freezer, gas hob, electric oven, built-in microwave etc.

Opposite the kitchen is the laundry room with storage cupboards and also a wood burner stove to complement the central heating. Between the kitchen and laundry is the dining area with lots of space for 10 or more diners. Opposite the kitchen at the rear is a private terrace with an exterior kitchen, BBQ and bread oven.

Just outside of the boiler room is a recently installed heat pump that also helps with the heating and hot water.

Attic - The space of the attic is now being used as an extra 3 bedrooms with a bathroom that has a shower, W.C., bidet and basin. The largest room at the rear has plumbing and drains pre-installed in the wall so that a kitchen could be installed on this floor.
