PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

Traditional Portuguese villa with lots of potential
Situated high in the hills of Portimão, far enough out to offer fabulous views of the countryside but
just a short drive to the city centre, this week’s property of the week is a three-bedroom cottage
that offers lots of potential to expand.
This pretty, peach-coloured
cottage sits high above Portimão,
a short drive above the Malheiro
neighbourhood, and boasts vast
views over the Monchique mountain range from the back and Sea
view from the front. A 10-minute
drive from Morgado Golf Course.
The location means residents
are on the doorstep of the city
that has everything one could
require, but are far enough out to
feel they can escape to a country retreat at the end of the day.
The property itself offers the
versatility and flexibility to develop
and make it a truly stunning villa.
A long corridor leads from the
front door, off which there are two
bedrooms to the right; one is a large
master bedroom with en-suite, the
second a good size double.
Left off the corridor is an openplan living-dining area, complete
with wood-burning fire. There
is plenty of scope here to knock
a few walls down and make it an
even larger open space.
At the end of the corridor is the
third double bedroom, a family
bathroom and the kitchen, which
is fully-equipped with lots of
cupboard space and a pantry.
To the rear of the property is
an enclosed backyard that has an
outdoor laundry and barbeque
area. More land runs down the
left side of the property which
could be extended and is ideal for
accommodating a small vegetable
garden or dip pool.
Stairs climb the outside of the
property and lead to a vast roof
terrace from where the full extent
of the views can be absorbed.
Here too there is flexibility to
expand the property by building another floor upwards.
This peach of a property is
ready to be pushed to its full potential; it is currently on the market for €220,000 (private sale).
