The Property

Land: ~ 427m2, House: ~ 108m2 (sizes are approximate)
This property was built well over 100 years ago and has been abandoned for the last 25+ years. It is a basic shell consisting of four square rooms in a 'L' shape, one room with concrete roof, the others without roofs. Stone walls are half a meter thick and as it is within the village boundary, extensive enlargement should be allowed (subject to local planning approval). It is not overlooked.

House is currently situated on shallow steps but the local council has a one way street planned, half completed i.e. it finishes just before the house next door at the moment. Nevertheless it is close enough not to be a problem for building materials.

Electricity pole is 10 meters from the property so connectivity should not present too much of a problem. Water, both agricultural and drinking are running past the property, as is phone line, mains drains and sewer. Street parking until road is completed.

The land is very fertile and is currently used by local sheep and goats with a bean crop rotation.

Other Information:
The property is in an area of the village where all the surrounding houses have been recently sympathetically restored. There are three foreign families living within two miles of the property. An English photographer of international fame and her retired husband, a mature German couple (artists), and an English Psychiatrist and his wife.
