This beautifully restored property is the oldest house of a pretty medieval village in the Alt Emporda, just 10km west of Figueres and 20-minutes north of Girona city.
The property dates from as early as the 14th century and still retains a number of original features, including its striking Catalan vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls, stone set windows and a handcrafted washing basin set into the first floor interior wall.
The 500m2 house is constructed over three floors and the owners have remodelled the property during the restoration process to maximise the space and natural light. The house comprises the following:
Ground floor: Large entrance hall (previously the animals quarters) with vaulted ceilings; large storeroom; bathroom; games room; office/studio with large, arched window looking over the patio garden
First floor: Original spiral stone staircase leading to: Living room (with open fireplace, wooden floors and beamed ceiling); fully fitted kitchen (with access to the patio garden); bathroom (with bath); two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes (one currently used as a second living room)
Second floor: Large storage cupboard on the landing; double bedroom with walk-in dressing room; en-suite double bedroom with dressing room and bathroom; large living room / studio with access to a pretty roof terrace
Exterior: The first floor patio garden boasts a lawn area, a shaded seating area and flower beds with automatic irrigation. The gasoil deposit and boiler are also housed in a purpose built storage cupboard in the garden.
Additional features: WiFi internet connection; central heating (Gasoil) with radiators on each floor and a separate thermostat control for each level of the house; automatic irrigation
The property has been cleverly designed according to Fen Shui principals with an activity level on the ground floor, a social level on the first floor and a rest area on the top floor.
The owners have installed skylights to maximise the natural light and, to maximise space, all the internal doors in the main living areas are sliding doors.
The house is just 50m from the village square. The village offers three cafes, an excellent restaurant and a local shop, which remains open all year round.
The property is just a 30-minute drive from Girona airport and only 1hr 15min from the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona. The beaches of the Costa Brava are just 30-minutes away by car and the ski slopes of the Pyrenees just under 1 hour away.
This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a beautifully restored period property in one of the Alt Emporda's most sought-after areas.
