Casa Adelina, a fully renovated historic house in Pedrógão Pequeno's old town square. Casa Adelina occupies the prime position of number 9, Praça Doutor Ângelo Henriques Vidigal and for decades was the home of the much admired and respected area nurse, Adelina Patrocínio. The property dates from around 1840 and now is a beautifully remodelled three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in this popular small town in the county of Sertã, west Central Region. Local development specialist, Rural Properties, has undertaken a full renovation of the property with many original features safeguarded, including stone window and doorway surrounds, internal wooden shutters, hardwood lintels and a beautifully tiled shrine, Station of the Cross II, built into the external front wall in 1865. The property now has a newly tiled and fully insulated roof, new wiring, plumbing, wooden flooring, doors and double glazed windows plus the installation of cast iron radiator central heating powered by an efficient heat-pump which also supplies the domestic hot water.

The energy rating of 'F' was assessed before the renovation. At around €1.500 per m2, this 'as new' historic property is excellent value in today's rising market. Ideal as a permanent home, a holiday home or an up-market rental property, the 196m2 accommodation is arranged over two floors, and includes a tiled roof terrace with stone worktop, vintage hand-crafted sink and electrical points. The private terrace provides wide views over the village square and the countryside beyond, the ideal leisure space for dining and relaxing without the work, weeding, watering and worry of a garden. Through number 9's main door on the square you enter a welcoming lounge/dining area with access to a small cellar and a staircase to the first floor. To the left is the kitchen area where the final layout and equipment choices can be selected by the buyer, up to an agreed limit and professionally installed prior to completion of the purchase. To the right, there is a bedroom or office space with an adjacent bathroom across a corridor. This room has direct access to a side street leading to the Church square just 60 metres away.

On the first floor, a spacious central lounge rises 4 metres to the ceiling and is filled with light from the window overlooking the square. Either side of this lounge is a bedroom and bathroom that includes Gresart Aqua tiled shower with rose gold Olimpio Imex mixer, toilet, circular basin unit with storage, heated mirror, storage cabinet and electric towel rail. A passageway from the lounge leads to a covered staircase and the roof terrace.Pedrógão Pequeno is a charming and lively village with a strong and inclusive sense of community.
