PT: "Casa nobre de construção seiscentista, mas com existência documentada desde o séc. 16, pertencente a um vínculo com capela, construída adossada à Igreja Paroquial da vila, nas suas imediações e atualmente ainda permanecendo unidas no mesmo proprietário. A casa atual deve ter sido construída no séc. 17, conforme denotam as molduras dos vãos na fachada principal e parte da posterior, terminando em pequena cornija, enriquecida na principal, ao nível do segundo piso, com friso e cornija. Do terceiro piso, acrescentado na segunda metade do séc. 19, terminado em cornija bastante avançada para sustentação do beirado, realça-se os vãos da frontaria, com as bow-windows curvas entre pilares toscanos avançados, e caixilharia de guilhotina com vidrinhos, decoradas na guarda com almofadas e no friso superior com motivos fitomórficos; da mesma época serão os vãos das fachadas laterais com falsos brincos. A fachada posterior é mais irregular e denota vários acréscimos, destacando-se a varanda disposta de ângulo, de caráter regional, com guarda plena formando apainelados e fechada por caixilharia de guilhotina com vidrinhos e bandeira em raios. No interior, apresenta vestíbulo central e antiga cozinha com grande lareira, tendo as janelas de peitoril conversadeiras."

The current house must have been built in the 17th century. 17, as shown by the frames of the openings on the main facade and part of the back, ending in a small cornice, enriched in the main one, at the level of the second floor, with a frieze and cornice. On the third floor, added in the second half of the 19th century. 19, finished with a very advanced cornice to support the eaves, the front openings stand out, with curved bow-windows between advanced Tuscan pillars, and guillotine window frames with glass, decorated on the guard with cushions and on the upper frieze with phytomorphic motifs; from the same period will be the openings on the side facades with false earrings. The rear façade is more irregular and features several additions, notably the regionally angled veranda, with full railing forming paneled panels and closed by guillotine window frames with small glass panes and a beamed flag.
