Master-Built Stone Villa, Ansião
About this property
A metre of solid stone between you and the world. That is not a figure of speech: this 1940 villa was handcrafted by a master stonemason, and its walls are genuinely one metre thick. What that means in practice is a house that holds its temperature, muffles the outside, and carries a physical presence that no modern build can fake.
The ground floor is already well set up for daily life: a handmade kitchen with dual garden access, integrated dishwasher, professional electric range, wood-burning stove and a double fridge/freezer, plus a lounge and a designer bathroom with a standalone tub and marble-lined shower. Upstairs, three double bedrooms and a home office sit across the first floor, with scope identified for a second bathroom. Above that, a full-height attic with concrete flooring offers further accommodation potential, including the possibility of dormer windows.
Triple glazing throughout, mains electric, water and sewage connections, and electric plus wood heating round out a house that is genuinely functional as it stands. The garden has raised beds, fruit trees, shrubs and flowers. Development potential is real and clearly signposted, but unlike so many renovation projects, this one gives you a liveable base from day one while you plan next steps.
