3 Bed House for sale
Lagos, Lagos, Algarve, Portugal
Full Description
Property Reference: 2824-1
Situated on the outskirts of the pretty little village of Sargaçal and just a stone's throw from Lagos (4kms), this lovely single-level, detached country property offers the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, yet it's only a mere 7 minutes drive from Meia Praia beach and Lagos Marina.
There are 2 gated entrances into the 2240m2 plot (over half an acre) - the main gates lead to a large gravel parking area to the rear of the property, with a shaded carport, whilst the 2nd entrance has parking for 1 or 2 cars directly in front of the property. The property is divided into the main house with 2 bedrooms and an adjacent self-contained annex (great for anyone looking for an income stream).
The main house comprises an entrance hall leading to a bright living room with patio doors opening to the partly-covered terrace, which prevents the house heating up in the summer but allows the lower winter sun into the living room. There are wonderful country views across the valley from here. The living room also benefits from a large 7 KW log burner, which is effective in heating much of the house in the winter. The hall leads to a spacious, fully-fitted kitchen with a rear door to a large covered terrace which has been enclosed to form a conservatory that serves as a breakfast room / dining room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful storeroom / pantry. There are 2 good-sized bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, plus a large family bathroom.
Adjacent is a beautiful old cottage which has a small living room, a double bedroom, a small kitchen and a shower room. This could be let to provide an income or would be perfect as guest accommodation or as a granny annex.
The gardens which surround the property are very beautiful and contain many mature fruit trees, including apple, pomegranate, orange, lemon, fig, almond and satsuma, plus there's a vegetable patch. Irrigation water currently comes from the neighbour's borehole. There's a wonderful BBQ area for outdoor entertaining, plus a log store, an old bread oven and a small workshop. The property is connected to mains water and main sewage. The villa is being sold furnished.
This property is ideal for anyone looking for a permanent home, with plenty of outdoor space for animals too. It's a lovely oasis, yet not isolated from amenities, and ready to move into or renovate to your own style if desired. The village has one café, with further restaurants and cafés 3 minutes away in the larger village of Portelas, plus over 200 restaurants to choose from in Lagos! The bread van and the fresh fish van come to the village every weekday too. For those who love horses, there's a livery stables just down the road where you can take riding lessons. There are 5 golf courses within a 20-minute radius, too.
