Notes ✧ apparently sold but not removed from the agent's site😫
✦ completely unremarkable building yet lots of nice open plan space to make it a great little hub with generous facilities
✦ my preferred approach of an efficient refit rather than than fiddly renovation; is in good condition so main requirement here is windows, partitions, and floor covering for the upper storey
✦ could have a very nice open roof space with big windows looking south over the fields and trees, plus a raised terrace over part of the garden nature reserve (with SUP) and parks next to the great beach and dunes stretching for miles up and down the coast, well known for year round surfing at all levels
✦ some short basic track and path for strolling, 10mins down the lane
✦ on an old characterful windy little train line for exploring the area, that may one day get upgraded with a direct connection into Porto, or metro to Aveiro
✦ climate is arguably good but can get a fair bit of clouds off season
✦ capacity for 14 rooms mixed configuration, some studios, and roof seems tall enough for mezzanines
✦ 330m2 common spaces for 1:1 ratio (ex exterior)
✦ share could be €2.5k/month
✦ ex agricultural building used for drying maize from the looks of things
✦ small 200m2 garden along front facing north; could probably acquire some of the neighbours south facing plot, and there's several plots opposite backing onto trees
✦ 8m deep by 40m
✦ already has sewer and water connections
✦ 45mins+ to some hills and river beaches; this location is strictly city/coast, another property would be needed for mountains and anything else
✦ being on the coast at about 15m elevation means its long-term survivability is at best dubious
