Spacious village house on three floors with walled garden in the warm, sunny Compitese hills, South of Lucca.

This is a very attractive stone house built 1700 circa. The property is semi-detached (end of terrace), and is situated in a small hamlet close to a local shop, bar and trattoria.

The house has been beautifully restored, faces South so gets full sunlight all day and has a very cosy, peaceful atmosphere.

What you get for your cash:

Ground floor: Large living room with terracotta floors and chestnut beams, French doors leading onto the garden. Kitchen and dining room with fireplace and beautiful colourful decorated Tuscan tiles. It has lots of storage space, a fitted kitchen, laundry room and cupboards.

A set of lovely 17th century stone stairs with iron railings lead up to the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms with terracotta floors and chestnut beams, a hall with lovely polished wood floors, a large modern fitted cupboard and surprisingly a beautiful modern bathroom with it’s own spa bath.

The top floor of the house is currently used as an attic/office/storage space but it could easily be turned into another living area.(There is room for 3 more bedrooms and a bathroom). It needs some restoration.

The garden is surrounded by an attractive stone wall. Most of it has been paved in stone and it has lush plants on the edges near the wall. This area is famous for it’s flowers and vegetation. Because of the micro climate it is possible to grow avocadoes, palm trees, bananas, oranges etc ie the kind of plants that usually thrive in a tropical climate.

This property is 15 mins from Lucca, 20 mins from Pisa and the airport, 10 mins from the motorway(Florence, Rome) and 25 mins from the beautiful seaside resort (and natural park) of Marina di Vecchiana.

It would be ideal for either a family home, get away retreat in the green hills of Tuscany or even a small but exclusive guest house. The trattoria next door do the most delicious fish soup, by the way.
