Ervideira Avelha Click on picture for photographs A
possible three bedroom house for renovation, this house is pretty and quirky
with a walled courtyard, C-shaped deck running right around the house and lots
of small storage rooms around the courtyard. At present the house has a lounge area with two small bedrooms, a bathroom with only toilet and sink and a large kitchen, big enough for a family breakfast table, with an open fireplace. Three
downstairs rooms are big enough to convert to bedrooms and a connecting corridor
could easily be added beneath the deck. There is also a small room plumbed with
drainage for a toilet. The small bedrooms
upstairs, made up of stud walls, could be knocked out to make a large lounge and
a shower or bath could be added to the bathroom, though it may be better to
rearrange the layout upstairs to put the bathroom in a better position, with
this house you could do as much or as little as you like. The
beams and tiles on the roof are in reasonable condition although at present they
have no boarding or insulation. The wood floors upstairs are all in good order
and most of the walls have been plastered. The downstairs rooms (previously used
as animal rooms and wine cellar) have no concrete floors laid or rendered walls,
so that would need to be done for conversion into livable rooms. The
property is in a small village called Ervideira, only 5 minutes drive or a half
hour walk into Vila Nova de Poiares, a pretty town with two banks, supermarket,
numerous shops and cafes, a medical centre and a weekly market every Monday
morning, a little further out of town there is also a Go-Kart track and bowling
alley with nightclub. This town is increasingly popular with UK expats because
of it’s proximity to Coimbra (only 20 minutes along a scenic road) and
therefore easy accessibility to the airports at Porto (1hr by train from
Coimbra) and Lisbon (2hrs) Coimbra also has a wide range of shops, restaurants,
shopping malls and cinemas, there is also the famous University, football
stadium and a large hospital. The
charm of this property is in its traditional design, large deck and courtyard,
which gets sun all day long. It would make a great house for a large family who
like entertaining, especially with covered areas in the secure courtyard for
young children to play. Because of it’s location it would also make a good Bed
and Breakfast with the downstairs rooms to rent, with a bit of reorganizing,
each of the three downstairs rooms could have an en-suite shower and toilet.
