On the outskirts of Loule off the Sao Bras road is this spacious 3-bedroom villa with bags of potential.  The location is perfect for permanent residence, set in tranquil surroundings and in beautiful countryside, yet only 5 minutes from the main town of Loule and all amenities, giving you the best of both worlds.  Beaches and golf courses are only a short drive away and Faro airport can be reached via the nearby motorway link in 20 minutes. There are currently two available options with this property until renovation work starts in the Spring.  As it stands, the villa is perfectly habitable and if a prospective buyer is happy to do the updating work then the current owner will obtain the necessary licence for permission to build a swimming pool and leave the rest as it is.  Accommodation at present consists of all main rooms on one level in bungalow style.  Through the main entrance into the hallway which leads through to a very large lounge/dining room with feature wood burner and brick work either side, air conditioning and doors leading out to a fantastic covered patio area running the length of the villa extending out to South facing sun terraces and a covered bbq area.  Back in the house off the hallway is a fitted and equipped “rustic” style kitchen with larder and door to the lounge and another door to one of the garages and separate laundry area.  This garage also has access to the loft space which lends itself to conversion for more rooms or storage.  At the other end of the hallway are 3 double bedrooms all with real wood flooring, fitted wardrobes and the master having an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning.  There is another full bathroom, an office and stairs down to a large basement area perfect for a games room or entertaining.  The inside of the villa is full of original and charming features with lovely brickwork and archways.  Outside, the gated entrance and impressive sweeping driveway lead you to the front of the house with ample parking areas and 2^nd garage.  The plot is extensive full of mature fruit trees, terraces, pergola and being elevated has fabulous views of the surrounding countryside.  The alternative option is to purchase the house with the work already done including:  swimming pool, new plaster and paint inside and outside, garage conversion into 4^th  en-suite bedroom, new drive in cobblestones and fully landscaped Mediterranean style garden on the front and South-west side of the land.  This is a unique opportunity and viewing is highly recommended.
