Description of property:
A unique historic property, in need of restoration, situated in a picturesque valley with views to the surrounding hills.
This intriguing old quinta is thought to date back to the time of the French invasion. The house is enclosed at the front by a high defensive wall. On the side walls of the house itself can be seen the remains of centuries old painted frescos and crosses.
The house is built on 2 levels. The rooms have chestnut beams on the ceilings and stone lintels over the doors.
On entering the house at 1st –floor level there is small room, and an old-style kitchen with fireplace and bread oven. The living-room has a small ‘alminha’ built into the wall, and another large room has stone window seats and 2 wooden wall cupboards. A heavy wooden door bearing an impressive bolt still shows the marks from at attempted forced entry in another age. This door leads to 2 further rooms with chestnut wooden floors. A stairway leads to the attic.  A stone stairway leads down to the ground floor, which has 3 high store-rooms with cobbled floors, and windows to the outside built as arrow-slits.
Contained within the exterior wall is a two-tiered courtyard, now grassed over.
There are 2 further store-rooms in the annexe.
