UNDER OFFER: 2 Bedroom Cottage with Pool in Mealhas - Faro

𝐀 𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄 with a private swimming pool, mature trees and the potential to become a peaceful Algarve home. Set along a quiet country lane in Mealhas, approximately ten minutes from São Brás de Alportel, the property offers single storey accommodation, traditional cane and beam ceilings, open plan living and a substantial garage or storage building.

Believed to date from before 1951, the cottage provides approximately 177.10m² of construction on a plot of around 1,380m². The house currently offers two double bedrooms, one large bathroom, a fitted kitchen and a spacious lounge and dining area. The rustic Portuguese features provide an appealing foundation for a personal refresh, with scope to introduce contemporary finishes while preserving the cottage’s character.

The property is arranged entirely on one level and is entered from the natural stone calçada driveway. The main door opens directly into a large fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, including a gas hob, extractor, oven and dishwasher.

An archway connects the kitchen with the open plan lounge and dining area. French doors lead from the living space onto the terrace and BBQ area, while air conditioning and a traditional log burner provide comfort throughout the year. Cane and beam ceilings, wooden double glazed windows and internal timber shutters reinforce the cottage’s traditional character.

An inner hallway leads to two double bedrooms, both fitted with air conditioning, and a generously sized family shower room. The bathroom may offer sufficient space to be divided into two separate facilities, potentially creating an en suite for one bedroom, subject to technical assessment and any necessary permissions.

Hot water is supplied by an electric storage tank. The property is connected to mains water and uses a septic tank for drainage.

𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 / 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐒
The house is reached by a quiet village lane with private access shared between only three properties, helping to preserve the peaceful atmosphere. A calçada driveway provides parking and access to a large detached garage or storage building.

The established grounds contain mature local trees, planting and natural rock formations arranged around the swimming pool and terraces. This pool area is one of the property’s strongest features, providing a secluded place for sunbathing, outdoor meals and relaxed afternoons surrounded by greenery.

The partially walled garden opens to the surrounding landscape, offering scope to introduce further fencing and shape the outdoor spaces to your preferences. Mature trees and natural rock formations provide a starting point for additional planting, seating and entertaining areas.
