2 Bed Village House for sale
Lucca, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy
Full Description
This is the oldest house in the village and was once the shoemakers house.
The chestnut drying shed has a gap where they would put the chestnuts ready to light a fire underneath. This is shown in the last photo.
The age of the house is noted by the stonework which is placed in a style called Poste-a-Fila seen in the second-to-last photo. There is even the original cement.
Typical in these old houses, the ground floor was used for storage or keeping chickens.
The living area is raised and accessed by stone stairs. Here one enters a large, light room with arched windows which still have the original closures. Apparently in history, these windows actually didn't have glass due to the clement climate. There are stairs going up to the Minstrals gallery.
The property has been structurally restored recently to make it safe.
The village is well inhabitated and can maintain a village shop. There are two restaurants within walking distance although one is closed for renovation. Very close to Lucca.
