This charming 3-bedroom home is located in a small village, only 6km from the medieval town of Silves, surrounded by picturesque countryside.  It boasts fantastic views across the valley and to the hills beyond, a sparkling pool surrounded by tropical gardens, a garage, and a piece of land across the lane ideal for growing veggies or keeping animals.  It has been lovingly renovated, retaining the original hard-wood windows in some rooms and wood detailing throughout, and is ready to move in and enjoy!

A covered porch leads to the front door with stained-glass window. This opens to the entrance hall, with gorgeous views through the lounge to the garden and valley beyond.  The spacious lounge boasts a wall of sliding glass doors with easy access to the covered terrace and garden beyond. A wood-burning fireplace keeps this room cosy on winter evenings.  From the lounge, 2 steps lead up to the dining room, which also has a window to the garden. The stylish kitchen is well-fitted with plenty of cupboards, wood counter-tops, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar.  A picture window over the sink gives views of the hills to the north.  There is a separate utility room next to the kitchen with plenty of storage space.

A hallway connects the family bathroom with enclosed shower cubicle, vessel sink, and heated towel rail, and 2 of the bedrooms (one north-facing with views of the hills and one south-facing with views of the garden and valley).  A door from the hall opens to a generous, south-facing, covered entertainment terrace.  There is ample room to dine and relax next to the BBQ area, and a tiled roof provides plenty of shade. The terrace overlooks the sparkling pool and landscaped garden, with views across the orchards and hills beyond.  Steps lead down to the manicured lawn, and a pathway leads to a secluded sitting area with great views down the valley. 

Back inside, opening off the front entrance hall is the 3rd bedroom with views to the north, and opposite this is another elegant family bathroom with walk-in shower.

There is an attached garage with small workshop area and laundry (36m2) which also has a door and window to the garden. Next to this, gates off the road lead to a shady carport.  Across the lane is a small plot of land (approximately 400m2) with some fruit trees, ideal for growing veggies or keeping animals.

This lovely home is only a 5-minute drive from the medieval town of Silves with its castle, daily market, riverfront and other amenities.  There is a café / restaurant in the village and this is a great area for biking and hiking, plus there are riding stables close by.  It is about 20 minutes to beautiful beaches and close to a selection of golf courses.  The German and Dutch schools are 15-minutes away, and it is just under 20 minutes to Nobel international school in Lagoa. Faro airport is just 45 minutes on the highway.
