About this property
Charming Dual-Wing Village House with Courtyard | Portuguese Countryside
A truly characterful project property nestled in a tranquil village in the heart of the Portuguese countryside, just 20 minutes from the historic market towns of Penacova and Mortágua. The unesco World Heritage city of Coimbra is within easy reach at around 40 minutes, while Porto International Airport is approximately 1 hour 40 minutes away.
What sets this property apart is its rare and distinctive layout - essentially two interconnected houses forming a single, highly flexible residence. Whether you're envisioning a spacious family home, a multi-generational living arrangement, or a renovation project with rental potential, this unique dual-wing configuration opens up a wealth of possibilities.
The Property
You arrive through two impressive metal gates into a generous covered entrance area, which flows naturally into a private courtyard. The covered entrance lends itself perfectly to use as sheltered parking or an outdoor leisure space, while the courtyard - once restored - promises to become a wonderful sun-drenched garden and entertaining area.
First Floor - Left Wing
Accessed via external stairs, this wing offers:
A comfortable lounge
Two bedrooms
A versatile small room, ideal as a home office or study
First Floor - Right Wing
Accessed via a terrace and connected to the left wing by a charming bridge, this side features:
A kitchen/diner with an original fireplace and storage room
A dual-aspect bedroom with views on two sides
A lounge
A bathroom
A back kitchen retaining an authentic original wood-burning oven - a true piece of Portuguese heritage
Ground Floor
A substantial wine cellar/lounge with direct access to the courtyard
Two additional storage rooms
Outdoor Living
The first-floor terraces offers open views across the rolling Portuguese countryside - a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening sundowners.
Practical Details
The property benefits from mains water, mains electricity, and fast fibre broadband - an ideal foundation for a comfortable rural lifestyle or remote working setup. The structural integrity of the building is sound, with modernisation works required to bring it to its full potential.
A Smart Renovation Opportunity
One of the most practical advantages of this split layout is the ability to inhabit one wing while renovating the other, making the project far more manageable and cost-effective. Once the courtyard is cleared and landscaped, it will transform into a stunning private outdoor space at the heart of the home.
A rare find for those seeking a flexible, full-of-character project in one of Central Portugal's most scenic and unspoilt regions.
