Restored farmhouse in Chianti to buy - 7 rooms plus kitchen and two bathrooms
The property consists of a fully renovated, two storeyed farmhouse of 220 sq m (2370 sq feet) standing on well-tended grounds covering 2200 sq m (about half an acre). There is a large tool shed in the garden. The house has its own reliable water supplies (a well with electric pump, and a reservoir) and cooking gas comes from an underground tank. Heating is by means of hot water radiators and a specialised fireplace. The house has a number of doors opening onto the two terraces and the stone pavement around the house. Telephone and internet access is by ISDN.
On the ground floor, the main entry passage opens into the dining room with the original huge country fireplace and a beautiful arch. To the left is the well-equipped kitchen (kitchen fittings such as the stove are included in the sale). The dining room arch opens into the living room where there is a second, modern fireplace that supplements the natrual gas heating of the house. The living room opens into another room and we pass finally into the well-lit studio.
On the first floor, which is accessed by two staircases, there is the main bedroom which has its own large and modern bathroom. The first floor single bedroom has a smaller bathroom with bath tub, and there is an office with terracotta tiled grillwork in the windows, reflecting its former function for drying vin santo grapes.
