Caramujeira, Lagoa, Algarve, Portugal
Full Description
Property Reference: 2848
This attractive old farmhouse is about 3km from the beautiful beaches of Praia do Marinha as well as Benagil, with its world-famous caves and local restaurants.
Situated in a beautiful, mostly fenced plot, there are plenty of shrubs and trees for privacy, and shady pathways built from rocks meander through the gardens. Located at the end of a sandy track (cul-de-sac), the house is reached by a wrap-around driveway, with ample room for parking.
A pathway through the gardens and paved terraces leads to the pretty, south-facing covered terrace and front door. From here a sunny hallway leads past 2 of the bedrooms (with windows to the terrace) to the spacious lounge with corner fireplace and windows overlooking the gardens. The 3rd bedroom opens off the lounge. Adjacent to the lounge is a farmhouse-style kitchen, and the family bathroom. There is an adjoining room with small annex and door to the north-side garden which would make a lovely master bedroom with en-suite.
The house has the old thick walls and wood-beam ceilings, and although it does need total renovation, it has a lot of potential. The south-facing covered terrace has a well/cisterna and lovely views over the garden. There are plenty of established conifers and palms, and the design of the original garden is still clearly visible.
The popular fishing village of Carvoeiro, with shops and restaurants, is just 10 minutes away and there are a variety of international schools within 10km.
This property could be a fabulous renovation project, or it is a great location to build the home of your dreams.
