Semi-Detached Cottage
 A short distance north of São Bartolomeu de Messines just off the old Lisbon road, amongst a small Portuguese community is this semi-detached that the present owners have partly refurbished. All the walls are mortar rendered, both inside and out, the floors concreted with bitumen DPC, topped with a mortar screed and finished in local ladrilho tiles. The roof was relaid about 14 years ago with traditional eucalyptus poles, cane and pantiles and the existing owner has himself re-plumbed and wired the property. Whilst the “basics” have been attended to, work now needs to be done with regard to making the property into a home with kitchen units, tiling and other improvements to the purchasers requirements. The addition of a “general” bathroom facility would be an advantage.
The property is set in a plot of approximately 3,000sqm that rises to the rear to provide excellent views of the surrounding countryside, whilst in front there are extensive country views across the fields beyond. On entering the main door a small corridor/hall provides access to four rooms, two to the right and two to the left. On the left of the property is an extension/attachment that provides the kitchen and en-suite bathroom. The kitchen can be accessed directly from the front of the property or internally from the “Dining Room”.
There is a well and a cisterna that needs attention but water is nevertheless provided by a neighbour “who believes that his water is better”. There is a wood burning stove in the “Dining Room”. In the kitchen there is a gas cooker with high level grill which is being left by the vendors.
Most of the “heavy work” associated with a project of this nature has already been undertaken but there remain an opportunity for an interested purchaser to develop the cottage into a small home or a “country letting opportunity”.
