Description of property:
A beautifully restored rustic property of great character, in a quiet village only minutes away from the amenities of Vila Nova de Poiares.
The property was once the village bakery, and is over 150 years old. It has been restored by the present owner to create a comfortable and stylish home while maintaining the individual character of the building.
The living accommodation is mostly on the ground floor. The back door opens into the spacious fully-fitted kitchen, that still houses the bread oven and chimney, now plated off and fitted with a wood-burning stove. A step leads down to the living room, that has a tiled floor, a wood-burning stove and windows in two walls providing plenty of natural light. Two bedrooms are accessed from the living room, both with tiled floors and windows on 2 walls, one with views over the garden area. A hallway with an exposed stone wall, wooden ceiling beams and a tiled floor leads to a bathroom/wetroom which has a shower and a sunken bath, and is constructed with attractive semi-polished stone. Beyond the bathroom is a ‘sun-room’ – an enclosed area with a tiled floor and a French door leading out to the terrace. A wrought-iron spiral staircase leads up from this area to the spacious attic bedroom, which has a wood floor and ceiling, and a French door opening on to a large wooden veranda, giving views across the countryside.
The patio and garden area is almost totally enclosed by a 4m high wall. At the far end there is a bar and seating area. At the near end there is space for car parking and secure steel double gates. An archway gives access from the patio area to the vegetable garden, where there is a 7m deep well, that gives the property its name, palm trees and shrubs .The large area before the well is laid to gravel, and the area beyond the vegetable garden is laid to grass.
The property is double-glazed throughout and has a gas boiler for heating the water, a gas hob and an electric oven.
There are 2 café-bars within easy walking distance, and public transport is close by providing a regular bus service to Coimbra in one direction and Vila Nova de Poiares in the other.
