House T1 in Torres Novas with electric car charging

1-Bedroom House Converted into a 3-Bedroom Home + Mezzanine

A former primary school transformed into a truly unique residence, where history and contemporary architecture come together in perfect harmony.

Completely renovated between 2021 and 2023, this exceptional home is the result of the meticulous restoration of a historic building dating back to 1926, once serving as the local primary school. This remarkable project carefully preserved the soul and authenticity of the original property while elegantly reimagining it to meet the comfort and lifestyle expectations of modern living.

Throughout the property, numerous architectural details pay tribute to its past, giving the home a truly distinctive character. Sophisticated microcement flooring blends seamlessly with preserved historical features, most notably the original stone sink—a unique architectural element that reinforces the identity and charm of this extraordinary residence.

The welcoming front porch naturally leads to the delightful outdoor living area, where the pool, designed in the style of a traditional water tank, takes centre stage. Perfect for long summer days and entertaining family and friends, this outdoor space benefits from direct access to the kitchen as well as an independent bathroom, ensuring practicality and convenience without compromising the privacy of the main living areas.

The memory of the former school subtly lives on in the two individual bedrooms located near the entrance, created from the building's original changing rooms. This thoughtful architectural solution preserves the history of the property while providing comfortable and private accommodation.

At the heart of the home, a spacious living room is flooded with natural light, creating a warm, peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The principal bedroom is seamlessly integrated into the layout, with access from both the living room and the kitchen, allowing for an intuitive and continuous flow throughout the house. Completing the architectural composition, an elegant mezzanine enhances the sense of space, light and versatility, creating an additional area full of character and charm.

The two bathrooms have been carefully incorporated into the building's original structure, respecting its historic layout while enhancing the architectural features that make this property truly exceptional.

Located in the peaceful village of Barroca, just 2 km from Entroncamento, the property enjoys a rare combination of rural tranquillity and excellent accessibility. The stunning Castelo de Bode Reservoir, one of Portugal's most beautiful inland water destinations, is approximately 20 minutes away, offering a wide range of outdoor activities, water sports and breathtaking natural scenery.

Lisbon is just over one hour away by car and is also easily accessible via the frequent rail connections from Entroncamento, making this location particularly attractive for those seeking quality of life, authenticity and convenient access to the capital.

More than simply a house, this is a home with a soul. A place where almost a century of history has been carefully preserved and reimagined, creating a truly distinctive residence filled with identity, character and authenticity.
