Description
Magnificent property in the centre of Castelo Branco, overlooking the Castle, a former family home. The property has its main access via Rua JA Morão and service access for vehicles via a gate on Rua de S. Marcos. In addition to being the family home, for many years this house was a bank branch representing several banks in Castelo Branco. Description: A stately home built in 1867 and renovated at various times, it has two floors and a large attic and basement, totalling 480 m2 per floor, an annex building, with approximately 200 m2 on two floors, a large garden with mature trees and a well. The house has 3 balconies overlooking the main street and is structured as follows: The main house extends over the 1st floor and is divided into several outbuildings from a long central corridor with numerous bedrooms and living rooms, both facing the front and the garden, over which a large balcony runs the entire length of the rear façade. On the ground floor there are four independent spaces that can be used as housing or shops; three spaces measuring 100 m2 and one measuring 180 m2. In the basement, there are also several rooms with granite walls and structures, which extend the area of the house to around 1,200 m2. The annex building, which houses the property's kitchen, also has several rooms used for storage and laundry on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is the old coachman's house and three storage spaces, one for storing farm implements, one for olive oil jars and another for gardening tools. The garden, measuring around 320 m2, has several mature trees, a well and a tank. There is also a gate on the back street, which allows vehicle access to a courtyard with space for three cars. Given its characteristics, decorative and constructive richness, the size of the property and its fantastic location in the city centre, as well as the solidity of the granite construction, this is an extremely interesting investment, whether to restore and convert it into a small boutique hotel, or, alternatively, into a charming apartment building. To give an idea of the types of apartments that could be built, an architectural survey and a preliminary study were carried out by a renowned architectural firm, which observed the PDM and all the rules in force, such as the preservation of the permeable area. At the moment, the cities of Fundão and Covilhã are in great demand. Considering that Castelo Branco is just a few minutes away from both, this is certainly an opportunity not to be missed! Come and visit the house and be enchanted! Energy Rating: G
