FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM THIS VILLAGE HOUSE INTO A STUNNING 3-4 BED VILLA WITH COURTYARD!! This delightful village house has great possibilities to be converted into a large, 3 bed, 2 bath villa with a courtyard. Over 115 sqm of living space once refurbished plus approximately 70m2 if the barn gets renovated into living space, e.g. guest apartment.
Thick, 50cm walls right through, with stable area, barn with loft, and large courtyard area.
The L-shaped house comprises a very spacious kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, as well as a separate living/dining room with steps rising to a large upstairs bedroom which can be converted into 2 bedrooms. A door opens from this bedroom onto a roof terrace with a view over the courtyard and village. There is a further door leading from the upstairs bedroom to the barn loft, which could serve as future access to a separate guest apartment or as an extended living space to the house, with an en-suite bathroom, etc.
Further on the ground floor is a large storage area in the living room area, separated currently with a wooden make-shift wall, and an attached barn with a loft. From the loft, there is a door opening into the upstairs bedroom. This makes it possible to extend the house and build at least one more bedroom and bathroom upstairs, or as a guest apartment with a kitchen and bathroom.
The courtyard is totally private and enclosed by a high wall and entrance lock-up gate. There is also a working well in the courtyard and a small stone outbuilding which used to be an outdoor toilet.
This project is perfect for the enthusiastic renovator and as it is going at a very realistic market price, will be fantastic value for money once refurbished.
