Property Details:

BEAUTIFUL 4 BEDROOM, 4 BATHROOM COUNTRY HOUSE AND SWIMMING POOL WITH LOVELY VIEWS IN THE TRANQUIL AND PICTURESQUE MINHO REGION OF COASTAL NORTHERN PORTUGAL.

250,000 Euros (225,000 Pounds)

A lovely stone built country house of 235m2 which is situated in an elevated position above a village with beautiful views down over the Minho countryside. It has been completely restored and modernised to give 4 double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, a family bathroom and a poolside bathroom.
The bright and sunny living room has picture windows giving panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and mountains. The large fully fitted kitchen/diner has solid wood units with granite worktops, and has built in fridge/freezer and dish washer, electric hob and oven, all of which are included in the sale.
Throughout the house all the windows are double glazed, and it has tiled floors in the living areas and wood laminate floors in all the bedrooms. It is fully insulated and has oil fired central heating, telephone with broadband internet, satellite and terrestrial television. It has good mobile phone coverage.
On the ground floor there is a large room which is currently used as a games room and storage. It could easily be converted into further accomodation.
To the side of the house are two stone outbuildings, one of which houses the central heating boiler and fuel tank. The other is used as an undercover barbeque preparation area and storage of the pool loungers etc. The garden is mainly lawn, with a filtered swimming pool of 7 metres by 4 metres and a private sunbathing terrace and barbecue area. There are many mature flowering shrubs and fruit trees, including apple, orange, lemon, plum and fig.

This house is a very comfortable home for all year round living, but would also make a great holiday home with increasing potential for letting. As well as the blue flag beaches, golf is a popular attraction here, with an existing 18 hole course at Ponte de Lima twenty minutes away, and construction about to begin for another 18 hole course about a mile from this house, along with an equestrian centre. This will significantly increase the rentability of the house. As well as that, it has the swimming pool for the long hot summers, and thick stone walls to keep the house cool without the need for expensive air conditioning.

Buying and running costs for this house are extremely low. First time buyers in Portugal are given an exemtion from local taxes (same as council tax) for a period of 8 years, and there are no water bills as the house has free water from itīs own mountain spring.

This region has extremely good connections by road, rail, and air. From the new hub airport at Porto (1 hour south) Ryanair fly to London Stansted, Birmingham, Liverpool, Dublin, Paris, Madrid and many other cities in Europe.
Easyjet flies to London Gatwick, and Paris.
