Casa dos mineiros – PD0430
In a picturesque hillside village stands an old 3 storey house, a remarkable place, empty for many years and in need of much work, but still looking like it tumbled straight from the pages of a picture book.
A significant building, with each floor running to 129m2, some important restoration has already taken place, in particular a beautiful slate roof in a traditional design. Although the primary timbers were salvaged all other joists are new, supported on a ring beam; the work is of excellent quality and the space is insulated. Inside the walls have been reinforced with brick so the external render could safely be removed to reveal the weathered, honey coloured stone beneath.
Whilst there is no land attached, the house has a sizable roof terrace with extraordinary views of wooded countryside; the ground floor, traditionally used for storage, would, if required, provide ample parking space and/or a utility room. Close are several small shaded community areas, including a barbeque, for sitting and for eating. There is also a River Beach nearby.
Re-wiring, plumbing and new floors are still required but the fully renovated it would make a substantial home; however, the outside staircase, which gives access to each floor, would permit both family accommodation and self-contained holiday letting. If that’s what you are considering, the size of the property, with living accommodation on three levels, will allow for a number of possible combinations.
Close to the River Ceira and around 15 minutes drive from the pretty little market town of Gois, with its busy bars, cafes, restaurants and shopping, the location is perfect for rural tourism. If you are considering full time occupation, all services, including schools and a medical centre are within an easy reach.
Road access is good – the cities of Coimbra, Porto and Lisbon are all a comfortable drive, as is the Atlantic Coast, renowned for its beaches and surfing.
Set in a peaceful, rural place, this sale is an unusual combination, a charming house with both a long history and, restored, a bright future – truly an opportunity to be explored.
