Village house above Bagni di Lucca, with a local restaurant just a short walk away
Although the property is habitable it would benefit from renovation work, such as a new bathroom and central heating.
The ceilings have chestnut beams and whitewashed mezzane tiles; and flooring has 'graniglia' tiles.
The house is accessed from the garden into a small hallway with stairs up to the first floor. Halfway up the stairs there is the shower room.
At the top of the stairs there is a spacious hallway with the rooms off this. The accommodation comprises:
Double bedroom (4 x 4.5m) with a window with great views overlooking the Lima valley.
Double bedroom (5 x 5m) with two windows again overlooking the valley.
Kitchen, with fireplace (complete with cauldron!) and wood burning cooker.
Sitting/dining room
Stairs leading to cloakroom (basin, bidet and toilet)
Spacious attic, 1.75 m high at apex
Large cellar, 25 sqm with ceilings 2.80 metres (accessed via separate doorway)

3) Notary fees are based on the declared value for tax purposes. There is no published tariff but experience points to about 3% on lower value properties, perhaps 2% on higher value
