This property is a good example of the style of Manor houses or Pazos as they are known in Galicia, owned and lived in by a long line of members of the Royal family, and frequented by a whole number of famous writers and poets. The house oozes character and history. The stone built property, mainly slate and unpolished marble, sits in large grounds all around the house itself and the nearby Romanic church, extending 5 or 6,000 m², though another 200,000m² are also available to the prospective purchaser. With 650m² on each floor of this two storey house, plus another 250m² (approx) in the easily convertible loft space, ample living area is provided, with all rooms offering light and space. The gardens immediately surrounding the house have a grand variety of established trees, many of them imported centuries ago, and the house is well secluded by them. Also on the land around the house are several barns and outhouses, an original stone washing pool and spring. The dwelling itself comprises two floors, the ground floor being used, in its day, as servants quarters, with 4 good sized bedrooms, a kitchen, a reception room, two study rooms, wine cellars, and bathrooms. Floors are stone clad on the ground floor, except in the bedrooms where chestnut and pine have been used. Stairs lead up to the main residence and the sense of grandeur is immediate. A long central corridor offers bedrooms, sitting rooms and dining rooms, and a library on either side, making a total of 7 large double bedrooms, all at least 20m² (on average). A number of the bedrooms and the library lead out onto a long sunny closed gallery, which is south facing, perfect for reading and relaxing. The house dates back, almost certainly to the 16th century, if not earlier, and offers views over a beautiful Romanesque (Knights Templar) Church and woods and green pastures.
