Spacious village house to renovate in Alverca da Beira.
In the north-east of Portugal, in the Beira Alta region, in the centre of the Guarda district, Alverca da Beira is a large hillside village overlooking the Massueime plain.
Passing the town hall, the church and the Café Central, you immediately come across this 165 m2 village house on three floors, on the left.
The south-facing façade enjoys plenty of sunshine and uninterrupted views. On the second floor, a small terrace facing north-east provides a pleasant, light-filled vantage point. On the street side, the ground floor has two doors, the first floor has three windows and the second floor has a balcony, a door and two windows. On the second floor, facing north-east, a door and a window lead out onto a small terrace.
In need of modernisation, this building has great potential, with 135m2 of living space in the centre of the village. The surfaces are currently being corrected.
A double door gives access to the entrance hall. To the left, there is a small toilet under the stairs. Opposite, a 33 m2 annex with a skylight and fireplace would be the kitchen and living room. To the right, you enter a small independent commercial space, open to the street, with a storage room.
On the first floor, a spacious and airy living room gets plenty of natural light. This is followed by a bedroom and a storage room.
On the second floor, a wide landing surrounds the stairs. From here, there is access to the terrace and a shed, from where a staircase leads to the attic. Two steps lead up to a large living room, with a bedroom on the left. The living room opens onto the veranda, which runs the entire width of the south-facing façade. Both the terrace and the balcony offer lovely views of the fertile plains in the distance.

This well-located house, once renovated, offers a number of advantages.
As a family home, it could be used for commercial activity, taking advantage of the 23m2 space to open a small shop. The large pantry where the fireplace is located, with its high ceilings, could be used as a large kitchen that opens onto a living room. A sandwich panel roof was recently installed over this space.
On the first floor, the storage room is ideal for a full bathroom. On the next floor, above this room, there is another of similar size for an additional bathroom. The terrace will become an ideal solarium, with a new outdoor pavement, the addition of a balustrade and a vertical plant screen for greater privacy.
The house faces onto the internet space, so a fibre-optic broadband internet connection is a simple formality.
As an indication, here is the scope of the renovation work to be considered. For the building as a whole, interior and exterior painting, modernisation of the electrical installation (new switchboard and additional sockets).
On the ground floor, in the annexe: paving, installation of a kitchen, Dhw (domestic hot water) and water supply. Wall panelling. Refurbishment of the bathroom under the stairs.
Installation of a bathroom on the first floor. Replacement of windows and shutters.
On the second floor, installation of a bathroom, replacement of access doors to the terrace and balcony, replacement of windows and shutters. Repairing the floor of the storage room. Covering the terrace floor and installing a railing.
Finally, in the attic, replacing two displaced tiles and reinforcing the roof structure.
I can give you an estimate of the value of this house once it has been renovated, and some indicative quotes are in progress. I have a good knowledge of the region and would be happy to help you with your renovation project.
Alverca da Beira is an authentic and beautiful village. In the past, it was elevated to the category of main town, testifying to its influence, but it is now regaining its importance and is increasingly sought after.
The warm welcome and good humour of the inhabitants, the strategic position and the availability of essential services are just some of the reasons to choose Alverca da Beira as your place of residence. The towns and castles of Trancoso, to the north-west, and Pinhel, to the north-east, are equidistant.
The Ip2 motorway and the N221 link to Guarda and the A23 and A25 motorways. In addition, the reopening of the Beira Alta railway line is imminent.
Life is good in Alverca, which has a pharmacy, three cafés, an internet centre, a drugstore, a supermarket, a bread factory (which is delicious) and a municipal swimming pool.
Four chapels, numerous fountains and a central square flanked by a magnificent town hall with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal carved in stone and a beautiful church. The pillory stands in the centre.
The well-watered surroundings, often wooded and flowered, are an invitation to take a stroll through the many vineyards and olive groves, the less-travelled local roads and the sumptuous countryside.
