A three bedroom
detached villa with 7,600 square metres of land for sale close to
Tomar in central Portugal. The villa, which is set over two floors,
has been constructed to a high standard and is fully double glazed
throughout.
The villa, which has
good views over the surrounding countryside, has been pre-installed
for central heating and air conditioning. The villa is set back from
a quiet road within the small hamlet of Sao Simão, which is around
five minutes drive from the centre of the historic town of Tomar in
central Portugal.
Although the villa
is set over two floors the living accommodation is located to the
first floor, which from the front elevation appears as the ground
floor. The main entrance to the villa leads into a spacious hallway,
which has a wood laminate floor.
Off this hallway,
via a set of double opening, part glazed doors, is a triple aspect
living room. The living room also has a wood laminate floor and a
central fireplace complete with flush fit Salamander log burning
stove. The living room also has three sets of patio doors, which
lead out to a covered terrace at the front of the house, a veranda
at the side and another covered terrace at the rear of the villa.
The living room is spacious and has plenty of space for a good sized
dining area.
The veranda and
covered terrace at the side and rear of the villa is spacious and
provides an ideal location for an exterior dining area. The covered
terrace also boasts a built in barbecue and there are stunning views
over the surrounding countryside. There is a second part glazed door
off the living room, which provides access to the kitchen. The
kitchen can also be accessed from the entrance hallway.
The kitchen has a
tiled floor and a good selection of built in base and eye level
modern style units with black granite work surfaces. The kitchen is
fully equipped with a ceramic hob, eye level integrated oven,
integrated microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. The kitchen
also has space for a dining table. Off the kitchen there is a good
sized pantry/storage room.
There are three good
sized bedrooms, all of which are accessed off the entrance hallway.
All of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and one of the bedrooms
has an en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom with the en-suite
bathroom has a walk in wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom is fully
tiled and has a shower, toilet and a wall mounted half-pedestal
basin. The family bathroom is also fully tiled and has a corner bath
with shower fitment above, toilet, bidet and contemporary style
vanity basin with storage cupboard beneath.
There is a stone
faced staircase off the entrance hallway which leads to the ground
floor accommodation. There is a large garage to the ground floor,
which has an automatic, up and over vehicle access door. The garage
is large enough to accommodate up to three vehicles. The ground
floor has windows to three aspects and has been partially divided to
create additional rooms. The current owners have already created a
ground floor bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled with shower,
toilet and pedestal sink. There is a second living room, complete
with open sided, traditional style fireplace. Adjacent to the garage
and accessed externally is a storage room, which has been plumbed
ready to accommodate the central heating boiler.
The property is set
on a plot measuring 7,600 square metres, much of which is slightly
sloping. There is a fair sized garden to the front, which has been
landscaped at some time with stone paths and shrubs in situ, though
does need some attention. At the side of the villa there is a
sloping driveway providing access to the garage and to the rest of
the land.
The property is
connected to mains electricity and benefits from having two wells
and a water mine for irrigation purposes. The property is within the
hamlet of Sao Simão and there are neighbouring properties in the
vicinity, though none too close to impede privacy.
The historic town of
Tomar, which is home to the UNESCO listed Convento do Cristo, is
only five minutes by car. Tomar is a popular destination and has a
variety of cafes, bars, restaurants, historic monuments, parks,
sports centres as well as a range of supermarkets, shops and
boutiques.
Castelo do Bode lake, Portugal's second
largest reservoir, is a short 20 minute drive from the villa.
Castelo do Bode lake is popular for all kinds of water sport
activities including water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, swimming,
sailing, scuba diving and fishing. The villa is also just an hours'
drive from several top class golf courses on the Silver Coast.
The nearest airport to the property is
situated at Lisbon, which is approximately one and a quarter hours'
by car. Lisbon airport is serviced by a variety of international
airlines including some low cost ones, who provide regular flights
into and out of the United Kingdom and other European countries. |
