Description

Pavia, just 30kms away, has a magnificent Abbey and is sited by a large river. This area of Italy is ideal to access Milan, the centre is just 40kms away, Milan-Malpensa airport just 50kms away. Genoa on the east coast is 118kms away of which 104kms is motorway. Access to skiing is easy with the Swiss border just 81kms and the best skiing in Italy is 130kms away at Aosta Valley

In Becreda is a delightful an old farm cottage positioned on a hardly used road. Totally internally modernised the cottage has a mature rear garden with a barn that separates the house garden from the orchard that has pear, plum, apricot, fig & apple trees with some vines. The two-storey barn, will be sympathetically considered for planning permission by thelocal Council, for renovation as a dwelling

The house has three bedrooms one of which, with an adjacent bathroom, is accessed by using a spiral staircase rising from the sitting room. Currently this bedroom is independent from the rest of the house as a guest area. However if required it can be easily returned to the main house by the creation of a doorway. There is the main bathroom with a jacuzzi, a dining room, sitting room, study, downstairs toilet & washbasin and large kitchen with access to the cellar. This is 35sq mtrs and is used for wine and as a utility room. Included in the price is some beautiful handmade hardwood furniture including a magnificent timber mantle in the sitting room over the natural stone fireplace. Care of the garden and orchard is not strenuous and the fruit and veg produced is delicious..

This residence should be seen as a chance to enjoy Italy at its best. One can enjoy the seasons with Spring, Summer & Autumn enjoying many, many hours of sunshine. (Unlike the UK!). The Winter is not harsh although there is some snowfall. In my opinion this cottage allows for a peaceful, relaxed life style yet with easy access to many exciting other alternatives. It is on the market because the owners, friends of mine, wish to move to another part of Italy to be nearer to their son and his children. In order to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible they have asked me to publicise the sale in the UK. This is a private sale, no agents are involved and Barbara & Pietro will be pleased to collect potential buyers from Malpensa Airport and accommodate them overnight at the cottage. This will offer them a brief opportunity to experience the lifestyle I would describe as idyllic.
