This staircase is the original wooden staircase, worn down by decades of climbing up and down. They are steep and a thick rope assists the climber.
On the upper floor are two rooms, presently used as bedrooms.
Each room has an exit out to the split level terrace which is a nice place to sit outside and watch the villagers pass by, look at the hills and up at the night sky.
The external bathroom was once the kitchen and renovated into a store room. The present owner moved the bathroom from one of the upper rooms, down to this location as she wanted more room for family members to come and stay.
Restored in 2003 the original roof tiles were retained but the roof itself was insulated. The upper original wooden ceiling was kept with its wonderful carved crenellation, which the original owners spent many holidays cleaning and polishing until it was like new.
Since the renovation, the house has been a happy holiday home for two sets of owners and is now on the market ready for new owners to enjoy.
It comes fully furnished.
