REF: 646885
€78,000
Description
A beautifully refurbished, two-bedroom cottage in the idyllic and quiet village of Vale do Rio, lying at the head of a valley leading down to the famous Zêzere river in Central Portugal's Leiria area. Renovations were carried out in 2022, and included a new kitchen and bathroom, repainting throughout, insulation to key areas and creation of a viewing deck. The floors and ceilings were retained in the bedrooms to keep the charm of the house.
Stepping through the double front doors, you enter the a lounge/dining area with pellet burner, leading to a new kitchen with space for a table, then up a spiral staircase to the first floor which has two bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, basin, toilet, extractor, mirror with integrated press button light and warm-feel cork flooring.
The first floor open space, ideal for a desk area, leads onto the upper terrace decking area with views down the valley. This deck is ideal for outside relaxation. An outside utility room contains a new hot water cylinder and pre-installation for a washing machine. Storage is available in the attic.
For those who want to explore the surrounding countryside, a road from the county town, Figueiró dos Vinhos (10kms), ends in the square by the village chapel from which walking routes are marked to the river and through the forest to a waterfall.
Vale do Rio has around 35 properties and 12 full-time residents, is well located for shopping in Figueiró dos Vinhos, is 1 hour and 45 minutes from Lisbon airport and 40 minutes to the historic city of Coimbra. Renovated properties in such idyllic locations are a rarity.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Portugal will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £1,930 more.
