A traditional style
two bedroom detached stone cottage with land for sale near
Ferreira do Zęzere, central Portugal. The cottage, which is set over one
floor, is connected to both mains water and electricity, though also
has a well for irrigating the land.
The cottage has been
constructed in stone and has carved stone window and door surrounds.
The cottage has aluminium framed windows and doors and although
requiring renovation work carrying out is in a basically habitable
condition.
The cottage is
accessed via a dirt driveway. The main entrance leads into the
living room, which has a wooden floor and ceiling. The living room
is dual aspect and has good views over the countryside. Off the
living room there are two traditionally sized bedrooms, both of
which have wooden floors and ceiling. There is a corridor which
leads to the cottage's kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom has a
concrete floor and does need updating. There is a bath, toilet,
bidet and pedestal sink. While all are functional it would benefit
from up dating.
The kitchen is
located at the rear of the cottage and has a concrete floor. The
kitchen has a large, traditional style chimney to one corner. There
is a storage room which is accessed from the kitchen, which runs the
length of the cottage. This storage room has a concrete floor and a
wooden beamed roof. There is a double opening wooden exterior door
which leads to the front of the property.
The cottage also has
an attached barn, which is double storey. The barn, which has been
used for storage purposes, could be converted into additional living
space quite easily. The barn currently has a dirt floor and a large,
concrete vat, which was used originally for crushing grapes. The
barn also has a wooden beamed roof.
The cottage has an
attic, which does provide sufficient height room to be converted
into additional living space if required. The attic has a wooden
floor and there is a water storage (gravity fed) tank in situ at
present.
The cottage is set
on a plot of land measuring 600 square metres. The land is flat and
there are a number of mature orange and fruit trees in situ. The
property has a well for irrigating the land and there are also some
brick sheds for animals, though these do need attention.
The cottage is
situated in the small hamlet of Vila Verde and there are
neighbouring properties either side, however there are good views
over the surrounding valley. The closest town to the property is
situated at
Ferreira do Zęzere, which has supermarkets, shops,
banks, cafes, restaurants, school, sports centre, health centre and

The historic town of
Tomar, which is home to the UNESCO listed
Convento do Cristo, is
around 20 minutes drive from the property. Tomar is a popular and
bustling town with a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants,
pharmacies, schools, university, bus and train station and historic
monuments.
The closest airport

half hours' drive. Lisbon airport is serviced by a variety of low
cost airlines, which operate regular flights into and out of the
