This lovely family home is situated in the picturesque medieval village of
Appignano. Originally an old flour mill, the house was substantially renovated
in 2011 by the current owners.
The ground floor contains a spacious open-plan lounge and kitchen, and adjoins
the studio/music room which has French windows leading out onto the large
balcony. From this side of the property, there is an spectactular view of the
Gran Sasso mountains. The downstairs is accessed by an entrance hall, and there
is also a bathroom. A new internal staircase leads up to the four bedrooms, one
with a small ensuite bathroom, and a second family-sized bathroom. The upstairs
can also be accessed by an external staircase to the front of the property
where there is also a balcony.
The property has double-glazed windows throughout and air-conditioning units
were recently installed in three of the bedrooms. There is mains gas central
heating throughout the property and an open log fire in the lounge. Outside
steps lead down to the easily-maintained patio garden, two cantinas, and a
large workspace underneath the balcony.
Appignano is well situated for both the coast and the Apennine Mountains. The
local market towns of Bisenti and Castiglione Messer Raimondo, both about 6 km
distant, have supermarkets, restaurants, chemists, banks, and most other
necessary facilities. Pescara, on the coast and a 45-minute car journey away,
is a bustling, modern city and port, and the airport has flights to several
European destinations. There are good local schools for all age ranges.
Appignano is a wonderful village to live in both as a resident or as a holiday
homeowner. The property is a very short distance from the friendly village bar:
a hub of social life, where you can eat excellent pizzas as well as enjoying a
range of local wines and refreshing Italian beers.
