Only €205,000 for two properties. Offers considered for a quick sale. 1 large and 1 smaller with approx 4046 sq m of flat land with vehicle access.
A lovely 4 bedroom detached house, on a quiet road, with approx 1 acre (4046 sq m) of flat land, amazing views plus a newly renovated lodge which is ideal for elderly parents, visitors or use as a studio/hobby area or could be used for renting out, an AL license would be needed for commercial renting.
Our house is in the village of Chãos, Ferreia do Zezere about 15 – 20 mins north of Tomar and 1 hour 20 mins to Lisbon airport. Although near to facilities, during the week it is quiet. Sundays is the busiest day with a market from 9am – 11am where you can buy meat, fish, bread, cakes, fruit and vegetables among other things. The association opens every Sunday morning and you can enjoy a cup of coffee overlooking the market.
There is also a cafe which is open everyday of the week opposite the market and about a 1 min walk from our house.
The post office is open every weekday afternoon and Sunday mornings. The Junta is open twice a week, there is also a Multi Banco machine outside the post office. All of this is a minutes walk away.
A 3 min drive away is a small but very good supermarket, a busy cafe, a petrol station and hardware/builders merchant who deliver.
The River Beach at Agroal is only a 12 min drive away where you will find a lovely river beach, restaurant and cafe.
The house has mains water, electricity, septic tank and bottled gas. We use gas for the hot water and one bottle lasts between 6 and 9 weeks depending on season.
New railings all round September 2021 – there is a gate so that access from the patio door in the lounge can be secure and safe for children or dogs.
The windows are double glazed with insulated shutters (no shutters downstairs) – new about 7 years ago.
New meter and upgraded fusebox approx 7 years ago.
The smaller garden is fully fenced as we have two dogs - the larger garden isn't.
