Traditional Extremadura village house with thick walls and massive domed ceilings, very well conserved, nicely conserved traditional slate-slab floors. with a stone-walled garden and well-conserved traditional outbuilding in back. Back entrance.
Project for renovation.
All utilities, water, electricity, public sewage system, used to be connected, for easy reconnection.
Landline telephone + fast Internet line can be easily connected, taking max. 10 days in this area.

Renovation would mean:

-Repair the walls with modern techniques to avoid rising damp, renewing coating of walls;
-Install electricity wiring and plumbing throughout;
-Install kitchen, bathroom;
-Renew all doors inside, and install traditional thick wooden entrance door;
-Replace roof, now consisting of simple modern metal sheeting, mounted on steel crossbeams.
-Clean up garden, decide whether to incorporate the lovely open-brickwork domed downstairs room into living space, and its first floor as either terrace with fabulous 270º views over the countryside, even into Portugal, or as storage space.

The present roof was installed simply to avoid any damage to the unusually well-preserved interior structure, thick-walled, with lovely massive domed ceilings everywhere.
NO AIR-CON Needed! The domed ceilings keep the house cool even in high-summer, and warm in winter with some heating.
Downstairs:
-Entrance hall, immediately to the right is a door leading to the stairs to first floor.
-Behind the entrance is another room, and behind that a third room, with window to the garden.
-From the entrance hall, underneath the stairs structure, there is a corridor to the garden.
First Floor:
Small hallway in stairwell, a total of four good-sized rooms, in back, with window to the garden there are still in place the traditional storage bins for grains and other supplies.

Rough idea of renovation costs: Depending on quality of materials used, from Euros 40 - 60,000 all-in.
Quick sale, very moderately priced. All legal documents in perfect order.
PLEASE NOTE: Possibility to acquire another small house in ruins adjoining the property on the right.
