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, adjacent to a very large "gentleman's" house, structurally sound, in need of restoration. This property is a complete ruin but planning permission has been obtained
To be eventually reconstructed as a one bedroomed house on two levels. Planning application in hand to restore to a traditional country cottage with chestnut beams, terra cotta floors and random stone walls. An adjacent field is currently under negotiation to enable the garden to be enlarged to some 250 sqm.
The hamlet has five other houses, a barn and a delightful medieval church, and 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, and openings will be made in order to access the terrace and future garden and shared swimming pool.
Included in the price is the restoration work on this property, a terraced patio and a landscaped and planted garden, with a parking area.
