Full Description

The current owners left nothing to chance when they transformed this property into a real interior design jewel, giving it a stylish and modern townhouse ambience amid a classic Italian village. All materials used are of the highest standards and specifications: the oak parquet flooring throughout the first floor, the Italian designed cherry wood island kitchen with a black granite top, the open oak stairway, the chestnut beams and the travertine marble bathroom. One of the bedrooms still has the original terracotta floors and a walk-in wardrobe.

While the house has no garden or terrace, it is light throughout thanks to a numerous set of windows and two generous French double doors, one of which leads out onto the small Juliet balcony with views of the stunning countryside.

The property’s services are all intact and up to European standards: mains water, electricity, gas, drainage as well as telephone. Fast-speed internet can also be installed by a local provider. All windows are double-glazed with fly screens and the house has gas central heating throughout. A special feature is the wood-burning stove in fireplace. There is also a large cantina at road level which can be used as storage space.

Set among rolling hills, Compignano makes for a picture-postcard location, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, lush farmland and a smattering of charming stone farmhouses. The characteristic strade bianche (white gravel pathways) crisscross the countryside offering nature lovers and keen walkers alike a true taste of rustic country living.

Compignano’s amenities are few: a small supermarket and a bar/pizza restaurant, but Cerqueto, only 4 kms away, offers a post office, two larger supermarkets, a butcher, a bar, a pharmacy and a bank. A further 8km away is the bustling market town of Marsciano with all amenities on offer, including a hospital.

Only 25 minutes by car from Perugia airport (and the city itself) and 20 minutes from the E45 with subsequent access to the A1, Compignano is ideally located to reach all areas of not only Umbria, but also of Tuscany, Le Marche and Lazio.
