Casa Folgado
Situated 5 minutes drive from the popular town of Gois, Casa Folgado is a compact 2 storey house with a good sized lower ground floor basement and off road parking.
Livingroom, kitchen and bathroom are on one level, along with a balcony from which you can gaze across woodland to the distant hills beyond; the perfect place for morning coffee or a glass of something cool on a hot summer evening. A flight of wooden stairs leads you up to two small bedrooms, a second balcony, one just made for pots of geraniums, and a different set of delightful views.
The realistic valuation reflects the need for some updating and renovation, but the property, set in a pleasant village within easy reach of full services, an excellent River Beach and a selection of cafes and restaurants, has the advantage of location; it would make a ideal full time home for a quiet life in the sun, a good investment for holiday rentals - or both perhaps?
The University City of Coimbra, with its main line rail services, is just over half an hour by car, a little longer if you take the regular daily bus; the coast is about an hour away and both the major airports of Porto and Lisbon are a comfortable drive.
Don't dismiss this little place with just a quick glance, it has a lot of hidden potential - why not take a moment for a closer look.
