The Family House
This attractive Northern Italian family house is in an elevated position above the village of Pratolungo, with views across the valley towards the village of Armeno.
The property has been progressively extended over time to provide generous accommodation particularly on the ground floor. Central heating is by oil and improvements include roof mounted solar panels to provide hot water, plus added roof insulation, electrical rewiring and new bathrooms. The property also offers scope to change the configuration, to suit individual preference.
The ground floor, surrounded on two sides by a recently refurbished and upgraded terrazzo, comprises a main entrance hallway, leading into a lounge/dining area with a wood-burning stove, and an adjacent separate kitchen. Also off the hallway is a cloakroom/WC and a separate combined shower, utility and storeroom. An adjoining, internally connected annexe provides three additional rooms, with two additional separate external entrances.
A spacious, glazed first floor gallery provides access to three good sized double bedrooms and a further shower/wet room and WC. The gallery and master bedroom also have access to the South facing balcony, with views over the valley .
Outside, the property retains much of its character and charm as a former working and productive smallholding, with mature fruit trees, tiered planting and hillside grazing for livestock. The house (242 m²), separate garage/store (10.30 m²), immediate surroundings and adjacent land occupy a total of approximately 23,000 m², plus 10.000 m² of woodland located at the top of Monte Barro. The property is to be sold with fully furnished bedrooms, plus other furnishings, equipment and mechanised horticultural tools and machinery.
