Location: Umbria, Italy
Situated in a tiny hamlet, on the side of a gentle hill in the Aggia valley to the west of Citta di Castello is a very large "gentleman's" house, structurally sound and in need of finishing. A new roof has recently been installed on the main building, the small adjacent ruin (Ref 673d) needs to be completly rebuilt for which outline planning permission has been approved.
Various good rooms on three floors could possibly provide a very large town house in the country. The small garden overlooking pasture land and the valley give a feeling of openness and an adjacent field is currently under negotiation to enable the garden to be enlarged, some 5,000 sqm. This group of properties is a suitable vehicle for investment, possibly creating smaller units for eventual sale or rental.
Some of the middle floor rooms retain original characteristic decoration, one was a bedroom, which has a splendid tiled floor from the last century and an original frieze of stencilled flowers, which ought to be preserved.
The hamlet has five other houses, a barn and a delightful medieval church and a manse, all of which are approached by a wooded road in good condition.
The ground floor of the house was used for storage and animal housing, but when cleaned and refurbished would make an attractive living area or studio. Internal stone stairs lead to the first floor, further stairs to an attic.
