Description

On offer is this very attractive stone built cottage, set on the edge of the small mountain village of Riccovolta, deep in the heart of the appennine mountains. With superb views of the mountains and valley and sited within easy reach of main communications links, this cottage would make an ideal mountain retreat for anyone looking to experience life in one of the most attractive areas of Italy.

A traditional Italian cottage, fully stone-built with two floors, this property is typical of the type of houses one finds in the region, reflecting as it does the local community and village. Structurally sound and in very good overall condition the cottage is habitable as is, though it is in need of a small degree of attention, mainly minor modernisation, cleaning, painting and decorating.

Entrance to the cottage is through a small enclosed front garden and a fully-glazed front door, which directly leads into a main room, currently set out and being used as the kitchen / dining room. A substantial room at 12ft 6in x 15ft 6in, this light and airy room has exposed beams, pine-cladding on one wall, fitted kitchen units along the main window wall and the wall adjacent. As well, there is a large and functioning open fireplace. Leading from this room and through an entrance adjacent to the fireplace, is a door leading into a short passageway, which in turn leads to a tiled and fitted bathroom. Further on, there is a large and very attractive room (14ft x 12ft 6in), currently being used as the third bedroom, though obviously this use and function can be changed. From the front door and on the left is a large room currently used as the main living room. Although in need of urgent decoration and painting, this room is also of excellent size at 12ft x 14ft and is both light and airy, having two windows inset into the front wall and the side wall, both of which offer excellent views. Directly on entering through the front door there are wooden stairs leading upstairs to a top floor landing and the main bedrooms. Both bedrooms are of excellent size, one being 14ft x 12ft 3in, while the other is 15ft 6in x 12ft 6in. All floors upstairs are wood planking and as with the whole of the house, the upstairs need modernisation and attention, mainly painting and decorating.

Reached from the outside and to the side, on the basement level there are two cellars. Both with internally exposed stonework and beams, one of the cellars is currently being used as a large wood store, while the other as a small workshop.

The cottage comes with grounds of 2,270 sq. mtrs (0.56 acres). To the left of the cottage (from the front), a private drive provides ample parking space. To the rear of the cottage, the main grounds are mostly grassed, though with some scrubland and woods and with a minimal effort could easily be transformed into an attactive feature and garden area.
