The property, which is set on a plot measuring 5,900 square metres, is in a peaceful area close to Tomar and has good, open views of the surrounding countryside.

The two storey house is fully double glazed and has a mixture of traditional Portuguese shutters to the ground floor and modern integral shutters to the first floor. There is a large, triple aspect kitchen with a range of fitted units and granite work surfaces. It has a dining area large enough to accommodate a table of eight. Off the kitchen there is a partially tiled pantry. The double aspect living room has a corner fireplace and patio doors out to a covered terrace at the front of the house. There is a partially tiled bathroom to the ground floor. There are three double bedrooms to the first floor, two with fitted wooden wardrobes. There is a fully tiled family sized bathroom.

There is a large veranda which is accessed off the hallway to the first floor which has good views to the surrounding countryside. The house also has an attic, which has two gable end windows allowing for easy conversion into additional bedrooms if required. At the rear of the house there is a covered barbecue with paved dining area and a food preparation area.

The cottage is single storey and traditional in design. It does require a good degree of renovation and modernisation works, but could be converted into a useful guest cottage or rental unit. The cottage has been connected to electricity and water in the past, though these would need attention. There are two bedrooms, a living room with traditional style fireplace and a kitchen but no bathroom at present.

The house is situated near the village of Carril which has several cafe bars and a small shop. The closest town to the property is Tomar, which is approximately ten minutes drive. The closest airport is Lisbon, which is approximately one and a half hours' by car.
