Located in the centre of Preggio, this property was once a bar-cum-butchers. It has recently been restored and is immediately habitable. Currently it is used as a family home, but is ideally laid out for use as a B&B if someone wishes to have a small business.

On the ground floor there is a large kitchen/diner/sitting room, the formal lounge with mezzanine over and a double bedroom with bathroom ensuite. At lower ground level, there is a useful cellar where wood for the fireplaces can be stored.

From both the kitchen and lounge, access can be gained to a terrace (large enough for a small pool) from where the views are spectacular. Part of the terrace is shaded by a pergola and makes it the ideal place to eat in the summer.

On the first floor, there are 2 bedrooms with a small bathroom, whilst the second floor is given over to the master bedroom, dressing room and bathroom.

The property has mains water, electricity and oil fired central heating.

Within easy walking distance are the local restaurant, bar, post office and a small grocery shop.

The lakeside town of Passignano is about 20 minutes by car as is the thriving market town of Umbertide.
