General
Details Casa Canoa
The
Property: Unlike
many village homes the property has clear title from ground to roof with no
flying freeholds. The property has the additional advantage in that a
studio has been created allowing for separate letting whilst not in any way affecting the
main two-bedroom four-person house. Access is through a charming listed stone
manor house and thence a minute courtyard. Casa Canoa Sopra is up a set of
steps leading to a balcony. The house is arranged over two floors, has two large
bedrooms (sleeps 4 one double and one twin), a full bathroom and a large
kitchen/dining room. A bright and airy double aspect sitting room on the top
floor has views to the wooded hills and the village of Ceserano. It would be
possible to create a terrace at this level and draft plans have just been
prepared. Below with a separate access from the courtyard is a spacious
self-contained studio (sleeps 2 with fully sprung sofa bed) sleeping area,
living area, kitchenette and separate shower room. Adjoining this is a dry
cellar that offers the possibility to enlarge the studio or create an additional
room and it is also possible to link the studio and house by internal staircase.
At ground level the property benefits from a garage with narrow entrance, part
of the manor house and a further wine cellar. All mains services are connected.
The property has been sympathetically and extensively refurbished to retain the
historic features yet provide modern comfortable accommodation. A particular
feature of the property is the high ceilings. The works included re-roofing 2002
and subsequently installation of metal shutters gas fired central heating with new
boiler, new kitchens some new sanitary ware. studio wiring etc.
