A beautiful and traditional Le Marche Townhouse with terrace and garden. This property retains many of its original features, including the traditional Le Marche ceilings of wooden beams and terracotta tiles, and terracotta tiled floors.

The ground floor comprises of a small entrance hall with stairs leading upstairs, living room, dining room, shower room and kitchen with door onto large south facing terrace. Stairs lead down from the terrace into the large terraced garden. The garden is full of mature plants (a beautiful old vine which climbs up onto the terrace, palms, yuccas, rosemary, pyracantha etc etc), but very overgrown!

There is separate access to the garden and to the large cellars/garage (including a traditional grotta) which could be converted to further living accommodation subject to planning approval (normally not a problem).

The first floor comprises a landing with doors to 4 bedrooms (3 double and 1 single) and a bathroom. Terracotta tiled floors throughout. 2 of the bedrooms have traditional cane (then plastered) vaulted ceilings. The other 2 bedrooms have exposed beams with terracotta tiles.

This really is a lovely property situated in a peaceful village a short distance from the sea at Porto San Giorgio – a lively beach resort of southern Le Marche.
