Property for sale in Umbria - substantial 2-3 family villa near Todi with land

This Property for sale in Umbria is a substantial old villa set in 20,000 sq m (2 hectares/5 acres) of land not far from Todi (10 km) and with easy access to the E45 Roma-Perugia motorway/highway. The house is located in the village of Fratta Todina, a tranquil, pretty village with a few amenities including shops and a school and the surrounding countryside is gentle and rolling.

The property comprises a large farmhouse plus five separate outbuildings, which could easily be converted into living accommodation for holiday lets. The land is arable and a portion is planted with a vineyard. The house has been substantially renovated and all the load-bearing walls, ceilings and floors have been repaired and the foundations reinforced. All drainage services have been modernised and the building complies with latest anti-seismic regulations.

The first floor of the house will be delivered with a "builder's finish" and the accommodation briefly comprises a spacious sitting/living room, a kitchen/diner, storage room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each floor offers 114 square metres of living space, giving an option for the buyer to divide the property into three self-contained two-bedroom flats, or one two-bedroom flat and a large maisonette on two floors. All mains services will be connected including electricity, water, telephone and LPG gas. The second floor features a beautiful sloping ceiling with exposed timber beams.

Both the ground and first floors each have a spacious portico (35 sq m each) housing an external staircase. This can be enclosed either with walls or windows to create additional living space. The vendor is offering to render the façade of the house, however the buyer will be able to select the colour and finish in accordance with local planning constraints.

The main house is bordered by attractive cypressus, pines and oak trees as well as a hedge. On the opposite side of the hedge are several store-houses and agricultural outbuildings which could possibly be demolished and replaced with a second villa (with a maximum area of 200 sq m). Planning permission for an outdoor swimming pool is also agreed.

The versatile accommodation and potential of this property make it suitable for two or three families purchasing together, or alternatively, it would make an ideal venue for a B&B or agriturismo business. The cost for finishing the ground floor and second floor of the main house is estimated to be in the region of 120,000-150,000 Euros. The seller is also willing to divide the property into two distinct lots - one comprising the house itself with one hectare of land, the second to comprise the remaining land with planning consent for a building of 200 sq m.
