Enquire about this propertyThe property
A village house with space around it
At the entrance to Pisão de Côja, this traditional two-storey house occupies an urban plot with an unusually generous logradouro extending around the building.
The property has a registered building footprint of 95 m² and a gross construction area of 190 m² across two floors. Around 240 m² of the plot currently sits outside the building footprint, creating room for gardens, terraces, parking or a larger building project.
Current condition
A complete reconstruction project
The house is not habitable. Much of the interior structure is failing or has already collapsed.
This is not a cosmetic renovation. The project requires a full structural assessment and complete reconstruction. The traditional schist exterior walls may provide a strong architectural starting point where they can be safely retained.
Development potential
Build beyond the existing footprint
The property stands on land classified as urban under the Arganil Municipal Development Plan.
The approximate construction coefficient of 1.35 applicable to the land indicates potential for a total gross construction area of around 452 m². This opens the door to a considerably larger project than the existing building.
Final buildable area, layout and use remain subject to technical assessment, municipal confirmation and approval of the proposed architectural project.
Two possible approaches
Preserve the character or begin again
Renovate and preserve
Retain as much of the original schist structure as is technically viable and combine its character with a completely new interior.
Demolish and rebuild
Replace the existing building with a new design and explore the larger construction potential available on the urban plot.
