With pleasure I bring to you this beautifully presented Portuguese property, which combines traditional style with modern advantages AND a newly released high B rated Energy Certificate, unusual in this style and age of property. The three bedroomed, two bathroomed property has open plan living areas, fitted kitchen, double glazed throughout with draft proof doors and security shutters, reversible air conditioning in the main rooms, solar panel hot water system and a fully insulated roof.

The property is situated in a quiet village, less than ten minute’s easy walk to the stunning Castelo De Bode Lake and a marina, two café/restaurants and a mini-supermarket are close by. Approaching the property, you notice the typically stylish gates onto the cobbled (calcados) driveway to the garage and the smaller gate leading to a beautifully presented covered verandah area next to a well-established garden area with a variety of shrubs and flowers.

Entering the front of the property you immediately notice the wide light hallway with the first double bedroom to the left, with fitted wardrobes, and air conditioning unit, followed by another double bedroom which has an ensuite shower room and also has fitted wardrobes and air conditioning unit Returning to the hallway, the third bedroom is found to the right, this also has fitted wardrobes.

A second bathroom, with a proper bath is a further feature, both bathrooms being fully tiled and well presented. Through double glazed doors you enter the lounge area, another good-sized room with plenty of light from windows on two aspects and a log burner with fan, producing a cosy environment during the cooler winter months.

Separating the lounge from the dining and kitchen area is a moveable glazed partition, and the complete open plan area has plenty of useful fitted, integral storage units. The good-sized kitchen is fully fitted with wood-finish units and integrated appliances and has a useful breakfast bar. But then moving back into the entrance hallway you encounter a set of stairs….

these lead to an amazing and very large area equivalent to the floor plan on the ground floor which has been beautifully and completely insulated and timber-lined with a lounge area and an area separated which could easily be converted into a master bedroom with further bathroom, or the whole floor converted to offer an independent living space.

Double insulated doors lead on to a large balcony area which offers views over the enclosed garden, garage and outdoor barbeque area AND the lake! A truly beautiful aspect of the property. Outside, as well as the established garden area between the verandah and the drive way, there is a sensibly sized rear garden, lawned with established trees and plants including a very productive black fig tree and lemon tree.

There is a covered outdoor entertainment area complete with fitted BBQ and a large single car garage with space for garden equipment. The whole property successfully combines traditional style with modern energy efficient features, located in a desirable area in the Central Portugal region close to the historic city of Tomar, with its UNESCO listed Convento Do Cristo, home of the Knights Templars in Portugal, with modern toll free motorways close by leading to Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and the Algarve.

Lisbon International Airport is just over an hour away by car or mainline train, Porto’s airport around two hours. The Castelo de Bode Lake offers a range of water based activities, has numerous river beaches and is an area of outstanding beauty. #ref: 142914
