Opis:

Wonderfully preserved, grand, 9 bedroom villa for sale in Umbria, showing all original features of an ancient Italian property. Perfect for a large family.

This lovely old Italian villa is attached to the next door property by an ancient archway. The two properties share an internal courtyard, but other than that they maintain complete privacy.

The villa is set over 3 floors and offers extensive accommodation on each. The ground floor is accessed via the courtyard. Here you find a kitchen, entrance hall, large living room with central arch and two ample double bedrooms sharing a bathroom. This floor also has a door to the patio garden at the back of the house.

The first floor is accessed by an external staircase which brings you into the dining room with original kitchen fireplace; off to one side is the kitchen itself. There is also an internal staircase leading from the front patio to a landing. From here you go through into a delightful main living room, very large and with a lovely old central fireplace. There are 3 bedrooms, a hallway with a piano and a bathroom off this main room. An internal staircase leads to the top floor, where each room has exposed chestnut wood roof beams. On this floor there is another large living room off which you find a further 2 bedrooms and an upstairs dining room complete with dumb waiter connected to the lower floor. A central corridor runs through the floor and on the other side from the living area are a further 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom with roll-top bath.

All in all a very large family home, with amazing accommodation and ample entertainment space. The floors are almost exclusively the original terracotta that is so characteristic of the style of property. The house is one of those rare things; an old Italian property that has been well preserved rather than overly restored. As such there is a feeling of authenticity and timeless elegance to the property, both interior and exterior.
