DETAILS

Originally, the cottage was the old bakery for the neighbouring village. Care has been taken to fully restore the original bread oven which dominates the kitchen, although no longer used as such.

The name of the cottage “Poco do Moinho” gives reference to the large water well being one of the largest and deepest in Poiares which still has a fully functioning water wheel. Water from the well is used to irrigate the land.

The cottage sitting on approx ¼ acre has a large walled very private courtyard with an undercover bar at the bottom and is great for BBQ’s on an evening. There is plenty of room for several cars to be parked behind the locked gates.   You can enjoy the sun all day long in the courtyard which makes it a great place to sunbathe.
Formerly, the courtyard had outbuildings so planning permission would be granted if applied for to create a separate annex. 

To the side of the house there is a very large garden which houses the water well. The top of the garden is stoned for easy maintenance and gives access to the Kitchen. The bottom of the land lends itself perfectly for a swimming pool with permission to be obtained.

With the external walls being almost a foot and a half thick the house stays cool in the summer months. 

Hallway

The rear hallway is accessed from the courtyard via patio doors. Care has been taken to keep the original features such as the exposed beams and exposed stone walls. The terracotta tiles give a Mediterranean feel when you walk in  and follows into the kitchen.


Kitchen
