About this property
Detached house with four bedrooms, heated swimming pool, annex and orchard - within easy walking distance of the village
Situated on the outskirts of the bustling market town of Vila Nova de Poiares, this beautiful detached house offers a rare combination of city convenience and genuine rural tranquility. Everything you need for daily life is within a kilometre's leisurely walk, while the unesco-classified city of Coimbra is just thirty minutes away - and Porto's international airport is one hour and forty-five minutes' drive, whenever the wider world calls.
Pass through the electric gates and enter a world that delights the senses at every turn. The cobbled courtyard forms the sun-drenched heart of the property, presided over by a gleaming heated saltwater swimming pool (8 m x 3.5 m), equipped with an electric cover and the quiet luxury of automated pH management and automatic top-up - so you can dedicate your time to enjoying the water, rather than maintaining it.
Ground Floor
Beyond the welcoming entrance hall (3.2 m x 2.1 m), a generous central area (7.7 m x 4.7 m) draws you in with its impressive wooden staircase - the kind that sets an elegant tone for everything that follows.
The kitchen (5.8 m x 4.6 m) is a true centrepiece: A modern and beautifully appointed space, organised around a central peninsula, with two ovens, a hob, dishwasher and abundant storage. Patio doors open onto a sheltered front terrace (5.4 m x 3.4 m), with perfect proportions for long, relaxed outdoor meals, while another door provides easy access to the courtyard and pool beyond.
The open-plan dining and living area unfolds across a pleasant split level. The dining area (7.7 m x 4.7 m) is warmed by a wood-burning stove and features reversible air conditioning, making it an ideal space for all seasons. The living room (4.8 m x 4.3 m) extends through patio doors to the front garden, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors in the most agreeable way.
Also on this floor: A versatile bedroom (4 m x 3.6 m), currently functioning as a home office, and a well-proportioned bathroom (3.4 m x 2.6 m) with a spacious shower.
First Floor
A generous landing (3.5 m x 3.1 m) provides access to the upper floor bedrooms with ease.
The master suite (4.7 m x 4.6 m) is a place to unwind - built-in wardrobes, reversible air conditioning and patio doors opening onto a private covered veranda, framing panoramic mountain views. The ensuite bathroom (2.7 m x 2.2 m) completes the picture with understated elegance.
A second double bedroom (5 m x 3.9 m) features a ceiling fan, built-in wardrobes and its own private covered veranda - a detail that will delight both guests and family alike. The family bathroom (3.4 m x 2.3 m) offers both bath and shower. Another comfortable bedroom (4 m x 3.5 m) completes the first floor accommodation.
Sustainability and Practical Aspects
This property has been carefully prepared for the future: Fourteen solar panels and a 10 kW battery storage system keep energy costs admirably low, complemented by solar hot water. High-speed fibre broadband, mains drainage and all utilities are connected, and the property already has plumbing pre-installed for central heating, should you wish to add an additional system in the future.
The Annex
On the other side of the courtyard - which also houses a garage (5.3 m x 4 m) with electric door - an independent annex building offers a wealth of space and additional possibilities.
A covered terrace (6 m x 3.8 m) with built-in barbecue creates a welcoming outdoor setting. Inside, a spacious laundry/pantry (6 m x 4.3 m) presents genuine potential to be converted into guest accommodation. A bathroom (2 m x 2 m) with shower, a covered area (5.4 m x 3.4 m) housing an original bread oven - a charming nod to the property's heritage - and a workshop (4.3 m x 2.5 m) complete the annex.
The Garden and Grounds
To the rear, a productive vegetable garden and generous orchard await - apple, plum, lemon, pear, lime, peach and cherry trees offering fruit throughout the seasons. A well feeds an irrigation system that keeps the garden lush and flourishing. All grounds are enclosed by walls, with electric gates at the entrance providing security and a discreet yet impressive arrival.
