Renovated by one of Rural Properties' specialist teams; for those seeking an historic townhouse with the interior you have always wished for, this is the perfect opportunity. To help you achieve the perfect finish, you are offered the services of the Company's design partner 'Concepto Studio' to choose colours, flooring, tiling, bathrooms and kitchen to suit your style and taste. The list price of €298.000 is for the finished property, completion time 10-12 weeks from deposit, with additional costs applicable should you want to upgrade the kitchen and bathroom design, equipment and fittings or maybe decide on a solid wood floor. Casa Adelina overlooks the old market square and lies within the protected 'Historic Zone' of Pedrógão Pequeno, Sertã, in the Central Region of the country. This type of historic home normally remains in the same family for many generations and only rarely do such treasured houses come onto the market, especially those that have been professionally renovated to such a high standard. Lived in for over 40 years by highly respected local nurse Adelina, then lying empty for a further twenty, this exceptional property holds a special place in the town’s social history. The three bedroom property has space for outdoor dining on the roof terrace which has a food prep area and sunset views over the old square and countryside beyond. There is no garden to worry about, ideal for busy second home owners who want an historic property in a central location. The first floor has two bedrooms and a 26m2 lounge where the ceiling reaches up to the underside of the main roof beam, making the room 3.8 metres in height. This elegant space with wood-burning fire is bathed in daytime sunlight and offers views over the main square. On the ground floor, the third bedroom area may be used as a work space plus bathroom and the 25m2 dining room and 15m2 kitchen/laundry complete this level. Underneath the dining room floor, the renovation team discovered a hidden cellar which can be repurposed as a cool-room or wine cellar. A highly efficient heat pump provides hot water and powers the central heating system through antique-style, cast-iron Roca radiators. The entire roof structure has been replaced, retiled and is fully insulated. A freshly painted exterior shows off new double-glazed windows, panelled doors and a blue-tiled depiction of 'Station of the Cross II', dated 1865, part of a series leading the faithful to the nearby Senhora da Confiança chapel. The town of Pedrógão Pequeno is small and functional with cafés, a traditional grill restaurant, a weekly farmers' market, a butcher, mini-markets, a fuel station, a cash machine (ATM), a launderette and a heath centre satellite. A couple of kilometres away lies the popular leisure destination of Cabril, a 1950s dam that has created a reservoir on the beautiful river Zêzere, where watersports, summertime bars and food outlets attract people from a wide area. By road, Casa Adelina is under two hours from both Lisbon and Porto airports, and under one hour to the University city of Coimbra. The surrounding countryside is farmland and forest, rivers and lakes, market towns and small villages. To the east lies the Serra da Estrela mountain range and an hour west is the popular seaside city of Figueira da Foz. Book a viewing and secure a classic; a comfortable townhouse which has not been for sale for generations and one for which you can choose the finish you always wanted.
