Property Details
Believed in parts to date back to the 17th century, the property is a stone-built house with versatile accommodation arranged over five floors. It is situated in the centre of Bomba, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the piazza. The house and grounds have undergone major renovations and improvements in recent years, including a new electrical system, individually-controlled gas heaters in every room, and a custom-built upper floor with new windows, floors and doors; the gardens have been landscaped to provide versatile outside space for different needs. The private location of the property, although allowing access to the shops and bars of the village, is also within easy reach of plentiful parking in Via Sant Anna. Outside the house has a large garden area, including a covered gazebo with built-in barbeque and an established vine; a flat grassed area suitable for a pool and a further two terraced levels with a boules pitch and a variety of established fruit trees. The property is fenced and safe for dogs. There is also a large terrace accessible directly from the kitchen and sitting room. The majority of the rooms have superb views across Bomba to the church, the hills, the mountains beyond and the lake.
The ground floor of the property consists of two cantinas accessed beneath stone arches; both cantinas are currently used as storerooms and one can also be reached via a door in the sitting room.
The main entrance to the house is through the first-floor main double doorway leading to the hallway, sitting room, bathroom and kitchen, all of which have the traditional characteristic Abruzzese brick arched ceilings. The sitting room ceiling has been stripped back to the original brick, and the house retains many of its original features throughout, including an open fireplace in the kitchen, exposed stone walls, tiled flooring and original balcony doors.
The second floor comprises a landing and two double bedrooms, both with glazed doors leading on to a small balcony. There are external shutters to all the doors and windows throughout the house.
The third floor consists of two more double bedrooms, and a doorway giving access to the fourth floor: here there are three further double bedrooms and a second bathroom with toilet, bath, shower and bidet.
