200 sq/m house to restore 400 sq/m barn to convert
A country house with a huge hay barn, both presently derelict, but itching to be the subject of a 'Grand Design'
Il Fienile is located on a panoramic hillside a few miles from the famous ceramics town of Deruta. It consists of an abandoned 3-bedroomed house which appears to be structurally sound and could be restored at reasonable cost. Beside this, separated by a roomy open portico, is a large barn which has potential to be converted to interesting living or studio space. The barn consists of a ground floor of 200sq/m, once used as animal stalls, and a hayloft of the same size with large, ventilated openings which could form windows.
Land:
There are 4 hectares (10 acres) of land, mostly open grassland, but with some mature trees, surrounding the house. The aspect faces west towards hills and mountains in the distance.
Services:
Mains water and electricity are available on the site.
Location: The house is located near the village of Castelleone (3Km away), and is 7Km from the town of Deruta and the E45 dual-carriageway, which connects to the Autostrada network. Perugia, the regional capital, is about 25Km away and the its airport offers low-costs flights to London Stansted. Rome and Florence are accessible in about 2 hours.
