NEW Podere Il Granaiolo

Town: Buonconvento

Podere Il Granaiolo

Sleeps 8 - 220 sqm - The house forms part of a group of old farm buildings which were converted in the early 90s to create eight individually designed homes. These homes share a large, infinity swimming pool (18m x 10m – from 1m to 3m deep) and a hard tennis court set in several hectares of garden. The estate is managed by an English couple who live nearby. The (English) owners live 4 miles away and will be happy to be contacted for help or advice. Looking out over a courtyard, the house has a large open ground floor (originally stabling for animals) with handsome brick vaulted ceilings, brick arches and terracotta floors. This open space is organized into two sitting areas with fireplace, a dining area and a kitchen furnished with dishwasher, oven, 5 rings cooker, fridge with freezer, toaster, American coffee maker. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom with washmachine and WC. On the first floor, there are two en-suite bedrooms each with queen beds, and two further bedrooms, each with two single beds, plus an additional bathroom and a laundry room. The master bedroom is particularly spacious, running almost the entire depth of the house, while the second en-suite bedroom has an external door leading onto a south-facing covered balcony, giving access to the original external staircase, looking towards Montalcino.
The first floor has original cotto floors and ceilings with chestnut beams supporting cotto roof tiles. All the bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans that allow comfortable sleeping on the warmest nights.
Outside, at the rear, is a private garden with a large terrace for outside eating giving easy access to the pool. There is a covered carriageway to the left of the front door with a mature vine surrounding the entrance - this is always cool and shady.
