Quinta do Feonix is a three bedroom detached farmhouse with a two bedroom guest cottage, which has been carefully reconstructed over the past two and half years. The property is set over three levels and is connected to both mains water and electricity.


The property has been reconstructed over the past two years to a high standard and care has been taken to retain the character features of the original farmhouse, while ensuring the comfortable facilities of modern day living are integrated. At present the farmhouse does not have a kitchen installed though this will be included within the sale price allowing the purchaser the final choice of materials and style to be installed.

The property is set over three levels and is fully double glazed with traditional style exterior shutters. Each of the windows of the farmhouse are recessed as a feature. The roof to the farmhouse is one of the main features. The roof has been carefully crafted in wood as a feature and the beams are exposed within the open plan kitchen and living as well as to the first floor master bedroom suite.

The main entrance to the house is located at the front and there is a traditional stone terrace with views over the valley. The terrace is sympathetically tiled with herringbone ceramic tiles and leads to the front, double opening door. This leads into a large, open plan living, dining and kitchen which has an open beamed wooden roof, with traditional overlaid planking. This room is double aspect and has a tiled floor. There is a large, stone fireplace with traditional ceramic tiled hearth, which is matched at the opposite end of the room with a stone chimney for the kitchen's extractor fan. There is a set of double opening patio doors which lead out to the rear of the house and to the walled garden.

This room has four independent lighting systems installed to maximise the ambience within the room, two of these systems also benefit from dimmer switches. There are several floor plugs within the room, to allow for changes to the layout. One of these floor plugs also has telephone and satellite television points, though there are also conventional telephone, television and internet points on the walls.

Off this room there is a half staircase, which has been faced in wood with atmospheric lighting, leading to the family bathroom and the master suite. The family bathroom is partially tiled and generous in size. There is a pedestal basin, toilet and 'wet room' style shower. The master suite has it's own private study, which is double aspect. The room has a wood laminate floor and an exposed wooden roof. This room also has telephone, television and internet points.

The study leads through to a dressing area and to the en-suite bathroom. The en-suite bathroom is partially tiled and has a double walk in shower, toilet and wall mounted stainless steel vanity basin. The dressing area leads around to the bedroom, which is triple aspect. The bedroom is spacious and has a set of part-glazed patio doors which lead out to a private terrace which has original terracotta tiles to the floor and good views over the valley and garden. The terrace also has an exterior staircase which leads down to the garden.

There are two further en-suite bedrooms, which are accessed via a staircase off the kitchen/living room. This staircase is also faced in wood and has atmospheric lighting. The first bedroom has a wood laminate floor and plastered ceiling with traditional coving. There is an under stairs storage cupboard as well as an en-suite shower room. The shower room is spacious and has a 'wet room' style shower, toilet, and contemporary style glass vanity sink.

The third bedroom is also spacious and has traditional style coving to the ceiling. Off the bedroom there is a dressing room, which is large enough to be used as a study or a den. Off this dressing room there is a partially tiled bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with shower fitment, contemporary style vanity basin and toilet.

The house has central heating installed and air conditioning. There is exterior lighting to the front and the rear as well as ambient lighting to the garden.

Guest Cottage: The cottage is set over two floors. The cottage is also double glazed with exterior shutters. The cottage has an open plan living room and kitchen.

The kitchen has a range of hand-built wooden base and eye level units - some of which have bevelled glass doors. The work surfaces are granite and there is an integrated gas hob and electric oven as well as an extractor fan.

The cottage also has it's own water heater. Off the living room there is a partially tiled shower room, with 'wet room' style shower, toilet and pedestal sink. A wooden staircase leads to the cottage's two bedrooms, both of which are double. Both bedrooms have Velux roof windows, though one of the bedrooms also has a conventional window, which has views over the garden. This bedroom also has a storage cupboard. Both bedrooms have wood laminate floors.

Laundry Annex: Behind the house there is a detached stone laundry annex, which is set over one floor. This building is also double glazed and houses the property's central heating boiler as well as laundry equipment. The ceiling of this room is wood panelled with down lighters and the flooring is wood laminate.


Garage: The garage is large enough to accommodate up to two vehicles and has an up and over vehicle entrance door and there is the possibility of having an electronic motor fitted for easy of entry. In front of the garage there is a large parking area, which is gravelled, off which there is an exterior staircase leading to an entry gate for the cottage.

There is a second entrance to the property, which is adjacent to the main house. This entrance has electronic vehicle entrance gates and leads into a large, gravelled parking and patio area. The gardens are totally walled with a variety of mature olive, almond and cork oak trees as well as grape vines. There are a number of younger fruit trees including orange, lemon, tangerine, pomegranate, peach, plum and cherry. The garden is flat and there are several patio areas.

The garden is large enough to install a swimming pool with plenty of room for patio and sun bathing areas if required and planning consent to construct a 10 metre by four metre pool has already been approved.

Between the main house and the cottage there is a palm garden with patio area and this has good views over the valley and countryside. The property is set on a quiet, dead-end road, which only leads to one further house, which is used as a holiday home. The area is very peaceful and the village of Martinchel is around two minutes drive. The village has several cafes, a restaurant, bakers, mini-market and eco-museum as well as the local parish council offices. In addition to these amenities the property is serviced by several local mobile bakeries, a mobile grocery shop and fishmonger and one every two months the district knife sharpener makes his rounds.

The larger towns of Abrantes and Tomar are 10 and 15 minutes driving time respectively and both have a good selection of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, a castle, hospital, university, River and health centres as well as sports centres and tennis clubs.

The property is easy to locate and is around one hour 10 minutes from Lisbon airport. The property is also only two to five minutes drive from Castelo do Bode lake (Portugal's second largest reservoir), where you can swim, fish, scuba dive, sail, canoe etc. Unlike the lakes in the UK, this lake is rarely very busy and you can enjoy some of the in-shots in total seclusion.
