If you want to have the interior that you have always wanted, this is a perfect opportunity.

The new owner is offered, at no cost, the services of the design agency 'Concept Studio' in Portimão and can choose the style and finish of the completed house, ending up with exactly the flooring, tiling, bathrooms and kitchen desired for truly a dream home. From receipt of a deposit, the completion of this unique home’s interior will take an estimated 10 to 12 weeks.

The property is located in the protected 'historic zone' of Pedrógão Pequeno in the Sertã municipality of the Castelo Branco region and overlooks the old market square.

This type of historic property normally remains in the same family for generations and only rarely do such treasured houses come onto the market.

Lived in for over 40 years by local nurse, Adelina Patrocínio, this exceptional two level property, includes a roof terrace with counter-top and sink and holds a special place in the town’s history after lying empty for over 20 years.

The three bedrooms have their own bathrooms and the townhouse has ample space with views to the countryside beyond this small town. The first floor has two bedrooms and a family lounge, 26m2 in area and 3.8m in height; an elegant room with a wood-burning fire and staircase to the ground floor to the third bedroom which also can be used as a study plus bathroom.

There's a spacious dining room with wall lights and a 15m2 kitchen/laundry to complete the ground floor.

Renovated by Rural Properties' specialist team, this townhouse includes a rediscovered cellar, accessed by hidden stairs in the dining room, which can be used as a cool-room or for storing wine.

A state-of-the-art heat pump provides economic hot water and central heating through antique-style, cast-iron radiators. The roof structure has been replaced and now is fully insulated.

This freshly painted exterior shows the new double-glazed windows and doors and an 1865, blue-tiled depiction of 'Station of the Cross II', part of a series that leads up to the nearby Senhora da Confiança chapel.

The town of Pedrógão Pequeno is small and functional with cafés, a traditional grill restaurant, a weekly farmers' market, a butchers, mini-markets, a fuel station, a cash machine (ATM), a launderette and a heath centre.

Nearby, lies the popular tourist destination of Cabril, a dam and leisure area on the beautiful river Zêzere, where water sports, summertime bars and food outlets attract people from a wide area.

By road, Casa Adelina is under 2-hours from both Lisbon and Porto airports, and under one hour to Portugal's historic city of Coimbra.

The surrounding countryside is farmland and forest, rivers and lakes, market towns and small villages. To the east lies the Serra da Estrela mountain range and one hour west to the popular beach at Figueira da Foz.

Book a viewing now and secure part of Portugal's history, a classic yet comfortable townhouse which has not been available for sale for generations.
