description

This beautiful 19th century cottage is set in a quiet location in the Galician countryside just outside La Estrada. A traditional stone construction, it has a quaint feel and a lovely garden, barbecue, and outdoor dining area, as well as a vegetable patch. The house is in its own grounds in a peaceful village, and is partially renovated, with a connected property which was acquired later, offering potential to be converted into more living space. From the front aspect, this period property looks onto a quiet village street, but the main entrance is found through some gates and to the rear of this character property, where there is a private garden with a covered area to enjoy time with guests with a grill and seating area. Once inside we find a kitchen with original features, an Arga style cooker, a large living room and dining room, all decorated retaining exposed stone walls alongside plastered finishes. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom with shower. Up an open staircase to the first floor we find a sitting area, four bedrooms, one with balcony to the front, and a further bathroom. From this floor there is a connection to the neighbouring property, which is an incomplete project, but already has double-glazed windows facing the garden and space for several bedrooms, or more living space as desired. This property forms part of the sale. Back downstairs and into the garden there is the outdoor covered eating and relaxation area, and access to the right to a utility room, wood stores, and garage which is accessed from the road on the other side. The gardens are attractive, with lawned area, and there is also a separate plot to the rear, which is currently used for growing fruit and vegetables. Heating is provided by the Arga-style oven, which is connected to radiators (although this can be easily changed for a more modern alternative should it be required). There is mains water and drainage. This house would suit anyone looking for a change of lifestyle, to grow-their own and live in the countryside, or simply live in a quiet location surrounded by nature, yet nearby the local town of La Estrada. It also has potential as a rural B&B business, once the connected property is renovated to provide extra accommodation. Please contact us for further information.
