Italy Village Property - from Piedmont Properties

Renovated Antique House in Hilltop Village, with Garden, Sunny Location and Splendid Views

Near Acqui Terme

The Situation: positioned on a hillside in the centre of a sought-after Piedmontese hilltop village, the location of this antique, detached brick-built house is very convenient : the main piazza (village square) is only a few steps away, and day-to-day shopping facilities are close at hand. The house faces South, with rooms that enjoy lovely views over the lush Monferrato countryside with its hills, vineyards, and villages. The well-known Roman spa town of Acqui Terme with its medieval town centre is nearby - Acqui Terme offers excellent shopping facilities, exquisite restaurants and enotecas, plus a popular spa and recreation centre. The motorway can be reached from the property within 20 minutes, and the international airports of Milan, Turin and Genoa within 60 to 90 minutes.

The house has been renovated and is in generally good condition, needing only some cosmetic attention. It is separated from the quiet village road by a gated, grassy courtyard and a fenced patio area: from here the main entrance leads into the first floor, from where stairs lead down to the lower ground floor.

Accommodation

First floor: The front door opens onto a landing with doors to two south-facing bedrooms, one with a balcony, and to a modern bathroom. Both bedrooms are spacious and enjoy beautiful views over the open countryside. Halfway down the stairs leading to the ground floor, a door opens into the former cantina/wine cellar - a large room that is now used for storage.

Ground floor: the stairs lead down to a small hall on the ground floor. On the right hand side is the kitchen with breakfast area, and to the left a spacious living/dining room. A further door opens onto a large, sun-drenched patio, a favorite outdoor entertaining area with beautiful views to the South.

Outside: To one side of the house is a workshop/storage area. The property also has a small garden that is well-stocked with fruit trees and herbs, and currently used for growing vegetables. At the end of the garden there is a good-sized outbuilding that could be adapted to provide further accommodation if required.

Services: mains water, gas, central heating and mains electricity.

Sporting facilities: There are a number of golf-courses in Southern Piedmont. The nearest, Le Colline in Acqui Terme, can be reached by car in 20 minutes. Tennis courts can be found in the nearby towns, and horse-riding is also very popular, with stables nearby. The excellent network of small, tarmac-surfaced country roads makes the area very popular with cyclists. The beaches of the Italian Riviera are a one hour drive away, and popular Italian ski resorts can be reached by motorway within a one to one-and-a-half hour drive.

Viewing: Strictly by appointment with the sole agents, Piedmont Properties.

Our opinion: A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, renovated village property that has plenty of additional development potential.
