Algarve, Silves, Portugal

Lovely Cottage With Courtyard Garden In Historic Area

This charming traditional 1-bedroom home is located in a superb position in the historic heart of the medieval town of Silves, on a quiet cobblestone street, just steps from the cathedral and the castle.  

The wooden front door, surrounded by traditional stone, has the typical square window that opens to allow a cool breeze and light into the hallway.  This leads to a compact bedroom with fitted wardrobe and wooden shutters at the window.  The ceiling is wooden tongue and groove with recessed spotlights.

Further along the corridor on this floor is a bathroom with walk-in shower with mosaic tiled floor, shelving in the shower, and storage space in the fitted cupboard under the sink.

There is another wooden door at the end of the corridor which leads to a cosy courtyard, tiled all around with upper shelving for plants or ornaments, and a sink with marble worktops and space for a barbecue. 

Sandstone steps lead to the upper level which features an open-plan lounge and bespoke hand-made wooden kitchen. There are windows with shutters and also a glass door leading to a balcony with a great view across Silves.

The kitchen includes an induction hob, under-counter oven, a cupboard for a washing machine and a breakfast counter. The beamed ceiling adds character and style to this cosy home.

This is a great opportunity to own a lovely year-round home in an excellent location with outdoor space, and would serve equally well as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home or rental property. The property has a local letting license (AL), and it can be bought furnished and ready to move in. 

Situated in the historic centre of the medieval town of Silves it is just steps to cafés, restaurants, river walks and the castle. There is a daily market in town as well as a wide variety of shops and all the amenities you could need including public swimming pool and gym facility. Beaches are close by - either 15 minutes by car or a short train ride.  Faro airport is only 45 minutes by motorway.
