Algarve, São Brás de Alportel, Portugal

This Portuguese quinta, originally from 1902, was extended and also offers a pool to make this a lovely family home. Surrounded by a few neighbours and nestled in the picturesque countryside of Cerro do Botelho on the fringe of Corotelo just 5 minutes from the expanding town of São Brás de Alportel.

The current owner made some further interior changes to the original quinta in 2016 to open up the living area, and replaced the kitchen, electrics, plumbing, double glazing, pool tiles and equipment and waterproofed the roof, also installed aircons in all the rooms and added external insulation to master suite.

The home offers 3 double bedrooms plus a single bedroom and further potential. A garage with the flexibility for an additional bedroom or any other required use and possibly an attic or mezzanine in the roof

Outside the low maintenance country gardens add to the atmosphere of the traditional facades of this quinta. The refreshing 8 x 4m pool is perfectly set back to bask in the sun for most of the day. The owner is currently finishing the BBQ and outdoor sink area which is adjoined to the raised cistern with built-in seating - perfect for family and guests to enjoy their drinks and the scenic surrounding views. A few steps away the south facing covered terrace is perfect for al-fresco dining with views to the pool and garden

On the opposite side of the house the roof terrace is accessed by external stairs. Views are across the green valley towards São Brás in one direction and the hill side behind.
