Renovation Project of a 3 bed charming traditional cottage near São Brás de Alportel

Reference:SV2599

Originally built in 1923, this detached Algarve property combines traditional character with the foundations of a comprehensive modern renovation project. Located just 1.6km km from the charming town of São Brás de Alportel, and within walking distance of a local café and bakery, the property offers an excellent opportunity to complete a home tailored to your own style and requirements.

The property is being sold as seen, with the majority of the structural and technical renovation works already completed. Final works still required include flooring installation, kitchen fitting, bathroom completion and tiling, interior painting, and finishing the large attached space currently functioning as a warehouse/garage, planned to become the main lounge area.

The current layout has been designed to provide comfortable and flexible living accommodation. The main entrance hall leads directly to the family bathroom, with a guest bedroom and the principal en-suite bedroom located to the right-hand side. To the left is the kitchen, which has open-plan access to the adjoining space intended to become a spacious lounge/living area.

From the kitchen, a secondary hallway with a second entrance and a third room, ideal for use as an additional guest bedroom, office or hobby room. Currently, this room is open to the en-suite bedroom, although it could easily be separated again with a partition wall or internal door, creating flexible room or 2nd guest bedroom when required.

Additionally, there is a separate room with exterior-only access, originally planned as a utility and storage room.

The property has already benefited from extensive renovation and infrastructure upgrades, including:

Renovated roof
New plumbing throughout
New electrical installation
New double-glazed doors and windows
Exterior fully painted
Interior walls prepared and plastered
Floors excavated, insulated, and prepared for underfloor heating installation
Pre-installation for air conditioning

Part of the underfloor heating materials are included in the sale, including system components such as the bottons/Panels, insulation boards, and Warmup heating mats, ready for installation.

Set on a total plot area of 798 m², of which approximately 570 m² is usable land, the outdoor space offers excellent potential to create landscaped gardens, private parking areas, terraces, and potentially a swimming pool.

The property benefits from an urban designation, and according to the current municipal planning regulations for the area, there is potential to extend the existing house and/or construct a swimming pool, subject to the appropriate approvals.
