For renovation
This large village property is set over 2 floors and provides a good opportunity to renovate and modernise into a family home with large open living spaces and cathedral ceilings. The house is in generally good condition and with the addition of a new kitchen and bathroom could provide an excellent living space with good sized rooms rarely found in the older Portuguese houses.
Entering from the quiet cobbled street is a shared access stairwell with a door to the ground floor and an entrance to the first floor, at the top of the staircase. Entering the main first floor you will find a central hallway the full length of the house leading to the original kitchen with dual aspect windows and fireplace. In our opinion this room would lend itself to being renovated into a good sized family bathroom. From the main entrance to the right are 3 good sized double bedrooms (overlooking the garden) and to the left two large rooms that could provide separate lounge and dining or the addition of an open plan kitchen. It could be desirable to knock through to one huge living/dining/kitchen space with cathedral ceilings. The original wooden floors are in excellent condition. On the lower floor are very large spaces with high ceilings with original timbers with the benefit of doors to the front of the house and access to the rear garden. Again, this could provide kitchen and lounge or separate accommodation if desired for multi family use.
Outside
To the rear of the house with access from the ground floor is a nice flat garden and is very private with views to the hills. The rear of the house faces south and provides good solar exposure.
Location
The property is located in the popular village of Anceriz where you will find a café/bar. Only 10 minutes drive from Côja. where you will find all your daily amenities such as bank, supermarkets, medical centre, pharmacy cafes and bars. Nestled in the Serra do Acor there are also restaurants, shops and the various glorious river beaches all within 10 minutes. The village is 1 hour from Coimbra and 2 hours from Porto airport.
Overall, this is an excellent opportunity for a relatively straightforward renovation to provide for large family or independent living spaces.
