5 bedrooms country house, 280 m²

Loro Piceno, Macerata (province)

*** An impressive restored five bedroom country property set within a beautiful peaceful rural location ***

This exceptionally attractive property has all the features of a traditional 'manor' house. Situated in an elevated position overlooking lovely open countryside and with a professionally landscaped garden leading down to the swimming pool this offers an enviable Italian holiday home or permanent residence.

In addition to the comprehensive restoration, the property has the added benefit of a fotovoltaic panel system producing very low cost energy and air conditioning. Other features include high original oak beam ceilings and lintels and cotto flooring throughout.

The main elevation offers the central stone arched principal entrance with double doors opening into a stunning hall with a full width living room to one side. This has three sets of fully glazed doors onto the garden and a delightful raised fireplace with wood burning stove. The fully fitted kitchen and adjoining dining room are linked by a wide arched opening - both have part exposed brick walls and open onto the large covered portico.

From the hall, an original stone topped staircase leads to the first floor which offers the Master bedroom with double aspect windows, fireplace and a very luxuriously spaced en-suite bathroom with twin basins and a 'walk-in' shower. On this floor there are two further double bedrooms with double aspect windows and air conditioning, and the family bathroom with shower and Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The second floor comprises another double bedroom with substantial eaves storage cupboards and the fifth bedroom which is currently used as a study and music room. There is also a laundry room.

The well designed landscaped garden with its borders of flowers and shrubs includes the 12m x 5m swimming pool, brick built BBQ and shed with adjoining wood store. There are raised beds for growing vegetables and the areas of grassed lawn have an irrigation system with water supplied from underground storage tanks. La Casa Padronale has everything!

The property has two vehicle entrances leading to the gravelled parking area and is accessed by a 'tarmac' surfaced local road. The lovely historic town of Loro Piceno with its excellent local facilities is within walking distance and the two local airports are just over an hour away.
