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.
