The property would suit
a conversion into a bed and breakfast establishment due to it's size and
location. The property has wooden framed windows and doors with some
internal shutters. In addition to a tiled faced to the front there is a
decorative moulding on the roof line, typical for a building of it's age
and size. The property has a large (500 square metre) courtyard garden,
which is totally private. This walled garden can be accessed either from
the house or view two separate vehicle gate ways. Both of these gate
ways have carved stone lintels.
The garden is overgrown
and does require attention, however it is secluded and is possible to
utilise the space for parking as well. The property does require
renovation and restoration work, though there are some stunning features
intact including hand painted 'landscape' murals within several of the
rooms. The property briefly comprises:
Ground Floor: The
ground floor of the property has served several purposes in the past,
both as a house and a shop and thus there are still two entrances to the
front. The shop has it's own fully glazed door access and leads into a
spacious room with high ceilings. This room has a wooden floor and
ceiling. At the rear of this room there is an office, which also has a
wooden floor. There are also storage rooms to this floor, which can be
accessed from either the 'shop' or the courtyard garden, as can a
partially tiled bathroom.
There is a double
opening decorative wooden door, with a half moon glazed panel above, to
the front of the property which leads into a light and airy hallway.
This hallway has a tiled floor and tall, wooden skirting boards. There
is an ornate wooden staircase, with wooden balustrade and spindles, off
the hallway. There is a living room off the hallway, which has a wooden
floor, ceiling and internal shutters.
First Floor:
There is a second living room to the first floor. This living room also
has a wooden floor and ceiling and internal wooden shutters as well as
two sets of part glazed patio doors, which lead out to a veranda
overlooking the courtyard garden. To three walls of the living room
there are hand painted 'landscape' murals, which date back over 100
years. Some of these paintings are in relatively good condition. There
are three bedrooms to this floor, all of which have wooden floors and
ceilings. One of these bedrooms is double aspect. There is a partially
tiled bathroom with a bath with shower above, toilet, bidet and pedestal
sink. The kitchen is also located on the first floor. There is a
large, traditional fireplace within the kitchen as well as a marble sink
and drainer. Off the kitchen there is a pantry.
Second Floor:
There is a further living room to the second floor, which has a wooden
floor and ceiling. Access to two further bedrooms is off this living
room. There is a third bathroom to this floor, which is partially tiled.
A hallway leads to a further bedroom, which has a wooden floor and
ceiling, as well as a treble aspect 'Marquise' room. This Marquise room
has good views over the courtyard garden and some hand painted murals to
the walls.
Third Floor:
There are a further two bedrooms to the third floor. Both of these
bedrooms are accessed off a hallway, which has a traditional roof
window. Each bedroom has a dormer window, which provides good views over
the village of Rossio do Sul to Abrantes. |
