Beira Litoral, Oliveira do Hospital, Portugal

Granite Manor House with Annexes, Private Garden & Development Potential

Set in the heart of a historic Portuguese village, this impressive granite manor house is a rare find — combining authentic character, generous space, and outstanding flexibility. Cafés, two restaurants, and a minimercado are all within easy walking distance, while the property itself offers a lifestyle that is both deeply rural and remarkably convenient.

The surrounding region is equally compelling. The large market town of Oliveira do Hospital is just 13km away, Carregal do Sol (with rail connections) is 15km distant, and the beautiful city of Viseu lies within 40km. Porto's international airport is approximately two hours and fifteen minutes by car.

Full of timeless character throughout, the principal property features soaring high ceilings, original hardwood floors, authentic Portuguese azulejo tiles, and exposed granite stonework — the very essence of a village manor house.

The Annexes

Three substantial granite outbuildings to the rear of the property adjoin a walled orchard garden planted with fruit and orange trees — a truly special outdoor space.

Annex One — a self-contained unit comprising a lounge with fireplace, two further rooms, and an external bathroom. Ideal as independent guest or rental accommodation.
Annex Two — a substantial granite building of 9.2m × 7m with an additional timber upper floor. Suited to conversion as further living space, a workshop, studio, or rental unit.
Annex Three — 7m × 5.4m of granite construction with its own independent street access, offering considerable versatility.


Outdoor Space & Practical Notes
The property enjoys a charming rose garden to the front, a rear terrace with large gated access to the street, and additional gated side access — ideal for off-road parking. The walled orchard to the rear provides a private and productive garden retreat.

A new roof was fitted in 2024, and the property is partially double-glazed. While some modernisation would further enhance the house, the structure is exceptional — solid granite bones with a floorplan that lends itself to multiple uses, from a large family home to a boutique rental or guesthouse project.

A truly special property with remarkable potential and a level of space and character that is increasingly rare to find.
