This large family traditional house is approximately 3km from the old village of Colares, and about 5km from the nearest beaches, set back in a quiet road not far from the road to the towns of Sintra and Cascais.
It has a mature lawned garden and outstanding panoramic mountain views of the Moorish Castle and the Pena and Monserrate palaces, as well as of lovely old "quintas" and picturesque cottages of Eugaria and Penedo, perched high on the Sintra "serra" (mountain).
The house is well furnished and tastefully decorated. The entrance hall leads on the right side into a spacious, wood panelled dining room with a large dining table (easily seats 10/12 people) and a stone fireplace; adjacent to this is a cosy drawing room with huge sit-in fireplace and a panoramic window; this in turn leads to a second pannelled living/tv room which opens onto the front terrace and the garden. To the left of the entrance hall is a separate wc and a passage that leads to two twin bedrooms, a bathroom/wc plus a master double bedroom and en-suite bathroom/wc. The kitchen/breakfast room has a large table and chairs and is well equipped with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, cooker, electric oven and microwave; this room also opens directly out to the large dining terrace (with retractable awning) overlooking the garden and pool area.
At the back of the house are twin garages and a separate utility room with a sink and washing machine.
Upstairs is a spacious living area with a ping-pong table, seating and card games playing area. There is one double bedroom with bathroom/wc; one small attic-type bedroom with twin beds and en-suite shower room/wc. There is also an attractive lounge with 2 children’s single beds which leads to a bathroom/wc and to another double bedroom whose terrace has a magnificent Sintra mountain view.
Outside is a lawn which slopes gently down towards a fenced-in area with a 10m x 4m swimming pool set amidst pear and plum trees.
