Town house in Penela, Coimbra

This fabulous house which is located in the centre of a pretty little village just a few minutes drive from Penela retains many of its original stunning features. Although it looks small on approach, this property is surprisingly spacious inside. The double wooden front door leads into a large, airy hallway which has the original floors and an attractive wooden ceiling, these are consistent throughout most of the property. Two sets of double wooden doors give access to the large lounge which has dual aspect double glazed windows and the original internal shutters. At the end of the hallway, double wooden doors give access to the family dining room which has space for a large table and chairs and other furnishings if required. There are two windows. Steps from the dining room take us into the kitchen which has a terracotta tiled floor, base units with a marble worktop and a single stainless steel sink. The original bread oven and chimney is still in situ and is a lovely feature and the kitchen has space for a family breakfast table. A corridor from the kitchen gives access at one end to a utility room and a separate family bathroom which has a sink, a wc and a bath with a shower attachment. At the other end of the corridor there is a small hallway with a tiled floor and space for wardrobes. Off here are the three bedrooms, which whilst compact, all have double glazed windows, shutters and space for a double bed. Going back to the corridor there is a balcony which has lovely views. There is also access to the courtyard which has a large covered, shady area perfect for an outdoor kitchen/dining area. There is also a large covered storage area. Another large room under the main living area could be converted to a studio/workshop or even further accommodation. This property would benefit from some upgrading which is reflected in the price but it is the perfect retreat, holiday home or retirement home as there is no land to maintain. There is plenty of free parking outside in the village square.
