A late medieval/early renaissance stone cottage to restore in an historic hilltop village close to a castle

Situated in a village dripping in history and just beyond the gate of a medieval fortress stands this fabulous cottage, with its carved stone doorways and stone steps up to a high entrance is within a short walk to the village shop and restaurant. There are two relatively high ceiling rooms at street level that have been used as cellars, and 2 first floor rooms with a stone pillared fireplace and niche windows. The property is structurally sound, and the slate roof appears to be in a satisfactory condition with some slates missing at various areas parts of the ridge. Therefore, the price takes into account the need for all necessary work, refurbishment and plumbing. An easily affordable opportunity to own your own authentic piece of history.
