Alvaiázere, Estremadura, Portugal

Wonderful property that ticks all the boxes, located in a village not far from the town of Alvaiazere, Leiria.

This 3 bedroom detached house is sited on a plot of 3230m2 of flat arable land and has a 8m x 4m chlorine pool with a retractable cover, garage, carport and covered exterior dining area. The house is sited by a very quite country lane with no immediate dwellings overlooking the property. Opposite the property is the old village school, which is no longer in use.

Details:

First floor

The house has 2 entrances, one on the ground floor from the country lane and a second entrance via the terrace on the first floor. The first floor entrance opens onto a fully fitted kitchen/diner with a stainless steel sink, dishwasher, fridge freezer, electric hob, oven and microwave. The units are finished in white with a black composite, quality work surface. An arched opening gives access to the spacious dining room with windows overlooking the lane. This room has a ceramic tiled floor and a staircase to the ground and upper floors. Off the dining room is a fully tiled bathroom with shower cubicle, basin with cupboard base, W.C. and heated towel rail. To the side of the bathroom is the first of the 3 bedrooms. The bedroom has a laminate floor finish with nice views from the window overlooking the rear courtyard and nearby country side.

2nd floor

A stone staircase with metal balustrades leads up to the top floor. Here you will find a spacious en-suite bedroom, the bathroom of which has a corner bath, basin and W.C. This bedroom has a south-facing window that looks out onto the land and also Velux style roof lights. At the top of the stairs is a door to a storage area.

Ground floor

Stairs from the dining room open onto a spacious lounge that is full of natural light. The room has a seldom used door to the lane and windows to 3 elevations. This area has a wood burner stove that works in conjunction with the pellet burner central heating system. The walls of the lounge are partly finished in natural stone and has a good quality tiled floor. A door at the rear of the lounge takes you into a room that is currently being used as an office. This room could easily become a 4th bedroom with the construction of a 3m partition wall and door. Opposite the office is the 3rd fully tiled bathroom with shower, basin, heated towel rail and W.C. To the right of the bathroom is the 3rd double bedroom. This is another room with lots of natural light from the windows and glazed door that opens onto the courtyard.

Exterior

Adjoining the property is the utility room that houses the washing machine and dryer. There is also a door from the lane that gives access to the pellet burner boiler and hot water cylinder that is linked to the solar panels.

Wrought-iron double gates open onto the crushed stone drive and courtyard area. The flat, fenced, arable land is to the left and has a small barn and irrigation pipes. The land has an olive grove with various fruit trees and plenty of space for growing fruit and vegetables.

Opposite the entrance gates is the carport that provides shade for the hotter days. By the carport is an open dining area surrounded by raised flower beds. Further is the garage and a covered kitchen area with BBQ. This is a great place, not far from the pool, where you can enjoy alfresco dining while taking in the nice views. The pool is sited to the north of the property and is surrounded by a Laurel hedge for privacy. The swimming pool has sun all day and there is a pagoda that offers shade when the temperatures are high! The paved area surrounding the pool is non-slip and adjoins a well-manicured lawn. This really is a special area from where to relax and enjoy a cooling dip in the 8m x 4m pool.

This is a property that has everything and only a 5 minute walk to the village supermarket and café.

Viewing is highly recommended!
