This charming little terraced town-house is ideally situated within the medieval walls of the picturesque Tuscan hilltop town of Monte San Savino. While located in a quiet side-street, it enjoys all the amenities of a prime central position. Its cosy rustic interiors combine traditional architecture and furnishings with every modern comfort.

Centrally heated throughout, this historic building retains many of its original structural features, carefully preserved during the renovation work. These include the white-washed and exposed stonework walls, terracotta-tiled floors, tiled/beamed ceilings and large stone fireplaces. Built on a gentle incline, the property works on unusual split-levels, accommodating an attractive basement kitchen/dining room, from where a round-arched doorway and some steps give direct access to the side-street in front of the house.

ACCOMODATION

Three steps lead up from the quiet, traffic limited side-street directly into the living-room, with its old wood-burning stone fireplace, floor rugs, wide dark-wood ceiling beams, and lovely exposed stonework elements in the white-washed walls. There is a double sofabed and a flat-screen LCD TV SAT.

Adjoining this dayroom is a bathroom, with modern fittings, hairdrier and shower. A steep, narrow, terracotta-tiled staircase, with wrought-iron handrail and a security-gate at the top, proceeds down to the low-ceilinged basement, with its fully equipped fitted kitchen corner, large stone fireplace and wooden dining-table. Here the walls are particularly eye-catching, featuring exposed stonework and even sections of the foundation rock itself! At the far end of the room, round-arched glass-panelled double doors open out to street level, providing an alternative entrance to this lower ground floor.

Returning to the lounge, you continue up a terracottta-tiled staircase that leads open-plan into the top-floor double bedroom. Here there are rugs on the tiled floor, traditional rustic-style dark-wood furniture, a lovely tiled/beamed ceiling and a TV.
