Accommodation...
General DescriptionThis delightful, C18th, stone detached house with an annex in a beautifully maintained, fully enclosed garden with a salt water swimming pool, sits on the edge of the peaceful farming hamlet of A Bragana, near the pretty, little, spa town of Cuntis.
Meticulously and lovingly restored and renovated, attractively presented and very well looked after, it is cosy and comfy, blending tradition with modern innovations.
Tastefully decorated and furnished in rustic style, there are interesting agricultural artefacts both in the interior and exterior, adding a true sense of the past.
The addition of the annex with its own kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, makes it an ideal choice for two families who wish to holiday together, but also to have their own space.
In lovely, wooded countryside with wonderful walks with waterfalls, it is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The historical cities of Santiago and Pontevedra are just half an hour away and the river beach on the Rio Ulla fifteen kilometres. A little further you'll find the fantastic beaches of the Rias Baixas.
Accommodation DescriptionFront gate opens into fully enclosed grounds. Large paved patio and porch at the front of the house. From the patio, the front door opens into the hall. At the far end of the hall there is a door onto the big, paved patio at the back of the house and gate with access for cars.
From one side of the hall to the fully fitted kitchen/diner and door to the back terrace with comfortable garden furniture. From the other side of the hall to the sitting room with an open fireplace and stairs up to the first floor and landing.
Off landing to three bedrooms (one double, one double and one with bunk beds) and bathroom.
From the patio at the front of the house, up steps to the garden and paved path to fixed BBQ and porch with fixed stone table and benches and annex.
