CENTURY-OLD MANOR HOUSE | CEDRIM – SEVER DO VOUGA
Some properties are built. Others transcend generations with identity, presence, and soul — this is one of them.
Dating back to 1913, this imposing manor house combines authenticity, scale, and exceptional appreciation potential. With approximately 500m² of built area, set within a fully walled plot of over 1,000m², it preserves the original charm of its era while benefiting from major structural improvements already completed.
The roof was fully renovated in 2001, featuring a reinforced concrete structure and lightweight slab construction, ensuring outstanding solidity, safety, and structural stability — a rare and highly distinctive feature in century-old properties. Part of the house was also later expanded using concrete slab and brick construction, further enhancing the robustness of the property.
Spread across three spacious floors, the property also includes several storage areas and additional spaces not fully represented in the photographs, offering multiple possibilities for future use.
Property Layout:
• Ground floor with garage, traditional Portuguese kitchen, large storage areas, and several support rooms, totaling approximately 205m²
• First floor dedicated to the main living area, comprising two living rooms, kitchen, storage room, three bedrooms, and a magnificent south-facing balcony with unobstructed mountain views
• Second floor in the attic space, featuring excellent ceiling height and generous usable area, ideal for suites, independent apartments, or a large open-plan space
As expected in a property of this age, there are some minor visible signs shown in the photographs, namely two small cracks — one at the connection between the original structure and the extended area, and another on the terrace — resulting in some traces of humidity. These situations have been properly identified and can be easily resolved through appropriate waterproofing and insulation of those areas.
Outside, the property stands out for its private, sunny environment, surrounded by stone walls over two meters high, providing rare privacy. The fertile land is rich in fruit trees and traditional species, including persimmon trees, apple trees, orange trees, pomegranate trees, fig trees, chestnut trees, and loquat trees, among others.
The excellent sun exposure — east-facing at the front of the house and west-facing at the rear — ensures natural light throughout the day. Most of the outdoor living takes place at the back of the property, where tranquility and privacy truly take center stage.
The main façade preserves beautiful original balconies and charming architectural details, reinforcing the timeless manor character and elegance of the house.
The property also benefits from water supplied by a private spring, fully documented and shared with only two other homes, with the additional possibility of connection to the public water network.
