Paderne, Algarve, Portugal

Located on the edge of Paderne in a small hamlet, just a 3 minute drive to the centre and all amenities, is this beautifully renovated 4 bed (3+1) villa. With a local café a short walk away, and the beaches and main resort of Albufeira just a 15 minute drive. The walking routes in the area are exceptional with plenty of places to explore and enjoy.

Paderne is well equipped with 2 supermarkets, fruit & veg shop, pet shop, pay shop, pharmacy, school, sports centre and health centre. There are many quality restaurants bars and cafes offering a real taste of village life. Paderne also offers many "festas" during the Summer, the Carnival in February, the amazing Medieval festival between Christmas and New Year, a growing White Night party, as well as many other events.

The property has been completely renovated, retaining much of the original character yet with all the home comforts desired for modern living.

Accommodation comprises, on the ground floor, an entrance hallway, lounge with lovely cast iron salamandra/wood burning stove, open plan dining room and fully fitted and equipped kitchen with feature island, 3 bedrooms (2 en-suite) and another full bathroom.

Stairs from the lounge lead to the mezzanine floor with master en-suite bedroom with walk in closet, office space and access to a lovely large terrace overlooking the gardens.

Outside the kitchen is a large covered patio area with a wooden deck above overlooking the pool and gardens. There is another large BBQ terrace with firepit. The irrigated gardens have large lawned areas, mature shrubs, trees and flowers and of course the salt water infinity swimming pool with sun bathing terraces.

The plot is fully fenced and enclosed, with remote entry electric gate, driveway and car port. There is a huge (6 x 3M) storage shed.

The house benefits from double glazing, shutters on doors and windows, electric heating (not air con), solar panel for hot water, alarm and is being offered with most of the furniture. Another huge benefit for the new owner is the property has been completely insulated externally with "Capoto", a very effective and expensive insulating system. An important note, the energy rating was assessed BEFORE all the renovations were done.

This really is a lovely family home and should be seen to appreciate fully. Early viewing recommended.
