This simple, tastefully renovated Algarvean quinta has a lovely, fresh, traditional feel about it. Built on one-level, this property is set on a large plot with plenty of space around both the main house and the annex. Whilst located in a quiet residential area, the property offers complete privacy and is not overlooked on any side.The main house can be entered via the garage on the east side of the house or through the kitchen on the west. There is a dining room adjacent to the kitchen with a pellet burner in the corner for the winter. There are three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom. One of the bedrooms (which is currently used as an office) is off the lounge and the other two are at the other end of the house off the dining area, with a separate family bathroom. The lounge is a nice size and is full of natural light, thanks to it's large windows and patio doors. The solid, thick walls keep the property cool in the summer and well insulated in winter. The annex is in a great spot at the top of the garden. It is far enough away from the main house to offer guests complete privacy. Recently renovated and insulated, the annex is self-containted and has a kitchenette, lounge, bathroom and a separate bedroom. It also has its own small terrace that guests can enjoy.Set between the main house and the annex, the swimming pool area is the perfect place to unwind. Several shaded areas have been installed to provide shelter from the sun; there is still plenty of patio space poolside for any sun worshippers!The garden (with computerised automatic irrigation system) has a lot of native trees (almond, carob, olive, pomegranate, fig etc.) and a small area has been set aside as a vegetable plot. The size of the plot means that there is still plenty of space that could be developed for other projects: photovoltaic panels / additional fruit trees / seating areas / leisure activities etc. The property is blessed with lots of special outside areas and boasts a really nice courtyard outside the kitchen door. With its traditional Portuguese calçada paving, olive trees and the sound of cicadas all around, who would want to be anywhere elseô  Minutes away from the quaint village of Santa Barbara de Nexe, this property is ideally situated between the larger towns of Loule and Sao bras, approximately 10 to 15 minutes drive to each. Faro and Quarteira are equally a 25 minute drive away.Given it's location, accessibilty and charm, this recently listed property will not stay on the market for long!  Additional features:Pool (8m x 4m)Mains waterSolar water heatingReversbile air conditioningAutomatic irrigation systemDouble-glazingSecurity bars on windows
