Algarve Property of the Week - An award winning home in the Western Algarve.... It is not everyday that one can claim to live in the ‘Best Property in Portugal', but that is exactly what future owners of this property can boast. Developed by John Griffiths Real Estate, this week's Property of the Week' is the proud title-bearer of ‘Best Property In Portugal 2008', which it was awarded at the International Property Awards 2008.

 

 

Located in Porto de Mós, between Lagos and Praia da Luz, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom villa is situated amidst an exclusive, five star neighbourhood, surrounded by other award-winning developments, also mostly belonging to John Griffiths.

These include ‘Best Apartment Portugal 2008', And the ‘Best Development Portugal 2006'.

It enjoys a unique architectural design and one-off location, sitting on a corner plot on the very edge of the Porto de Mós cliff tops, overlooking the beach. This privileged setting ensures a lifetime of panoramic views, which will never be interrupted.

Through the front door we enter a refined foyer that has a shiny polished natural stone floor in elegant tones of cream.

To the left there is a flight of stairs that descend into a full basement, which, having its own bathroom would make an ideal games room or home cinema.

Also left, on the ground floor, there is a beautifully decorated cloakroom, a modern kitchen of German design, fully equipped with top-of-the-range Bosch appliances, also having a back door that opens onto a pretty, pergola-covered breakfast area.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a good-size laundry room, following which is the first of three ground floor bedrooms.

This bedroom is comfortably sized and has an en-suite bathroom styled with chic contemporary ceramics. All ground floor bedrooms are light and bright, having patio doors that open onto the garden or pool patio, and have fitted wardrobes made of natural, solid oak.

The other two ground floor bedrooms are located right off the sual circular loo and bidet, and a double-size walk-in shower. Two of the things that make this property outstanding are the quality of materials used and the meticulous attention to décor and detail that is invested and which is obvious in every room.

Straight ahead from the front door is a spacious lounge, which comprises a grand solid marble fireplace and to the left has a raised dining area that in turn leads through to the kitchen.

The living room is fully fronted by floor to ceiling doors that open directly onto the pool patio, whilst framing the breathtaking panoramic views that stretch out beyond.

Unusually shaped like a ships bow, the pool terrace is vast and easily accommodates al-fresco dining furniture and other garden equipment. It has flowerbeds that burst with colourful Mediterranean flora, and, as is south facing, enjoys privacy and sun all day long.

The pool is heated and has an electric cover.

The villa's first floor is entirely made up of the master bedroom, which has a large sleeping area, an elegant en-suite bathroom, and its own private patio with stairs that lead down to the pool.

From the pool terrace there is also a flight of steps that descend directly onto the beach some 50 metres below, and are for private use only. There is a single garage with automatic gates and doors, and the villa is equipped with air conditioning in all rooms, under floor heating throughout as well as in all wardrobes. This exquisite villa is priced at £1,475,000.00.
