The Old Convent

A substantial property forming part of a converted former convent in Borgo a Mozzano, a few miles from Lucca.
Overall the property has been very tastefully restored, gas central heating has been installed, and much of the furniture will be left, so that it can be used immediately. The property has direct road access, use of a communal garden and a private parking space. The paperwork for the property is all in full order and the property is ready for immediate sale.

Currently the internal space is divided into two apartments that connect internally, but which could easily be changed to make two separate apartments each with its own private external entrance.
The upper apartment has a large modern living room/kitchen, which is very open and light, one double bedroom, a shower room and storage cupboard. Access to the private terrace below (lower apartment) could be easily facilitated through an external staircase descending from the living room.

The lower level apartment has a very large high room, with barrel roof, where a pool could be installed, around 3.5 x 3.5m. The owner is currently installing suitable underfloor pipework before completing the floor in case this option is required. The rest of the apartment consists of a double bedroom with lovely brick arch, an adjacent anteroom space, a bathroom, utility room (which could be made a kitchen), a living room built around the old convent well, and a storage room.
This apartment also has a private terrace, covered by arches, and access to the communal gardens.

The river is nearby as are the railway, has easy road access, and is around 250m from the famous ‘Ponte della Madelena’ bridge over the Serchio river. A history of the property is being written by the current owner.
