Description

"The Knight's Retreat" is an independent building within a fortified village with documented historical roots dating back to at least the year 800 AD. Initially established as a religious nucleus, it evolved over time into a fortified structure, evident from the fortifications in its walls. Over the centuries, it served the dual purposes of defense and observation for the city of Perugia.

The castle is impeccably preserved and finely restored, accessed through a shared automatic gate leading to the common parking area. The Knight's Retreat is the last structure encountered upon entering the gate and offers private parking space. The property was converted from the castle's old armory, ensuring privacy and featuring a private garden on three sides.

The walls, meticulously renovated in the 90s, are entirely made of period-appropriate stone. Upon entering, the property opens into a dining area with an open kitchen. Through a spacious and captivating opening, you arrive at a splendid and welcoming living room adorned with a large traditional fireplace.

On the ground floor, there is also a guest bathroom. Ascending the stairs from the dining area leads to the upper floor, where two bright double bedrooms with ample space and high ceilings adorned with original beams and tiles are found. The larger bedroom also includes a walk-in wardrobe. Completing the upper floor is a second bathroom with a shower.

All utilities are connected and operational. The installations comply with the standards of the era of construction and are fully functional. Independent heating is provided by a LPG boiler.The distinctive feature of this property lies in its historical significance; all original details have been splendidly preserved, including exposed internal stone walls, niches, loopholes, and ceilings with beams and terracotta tiles.

The floors showcase beautiful handmade terracotta tiles, while the windows are crafted from wood with double glazing. The property is in excellent condition and is ready for immediate use. The internal lighting enhances an absolutely magical and timeless atmosphere, casting evocative chiaroscuro effects on the ancient walls.

"The Knight's Retreat" is ideal as a second home, and despite its private setting, the property is part of a medieval castle complex currently used as accommodation. Therefore, there is the possibility of generating income by renting the property in the tourist rental circuit. "The Knight's Retreat" is excellently connected and serves as a strategic location within Umbria.

The access road is convenient and paved. It is situated 20 km from Perugia and a short distance from the Antognolla Castle, now transformed into a resort boasting the most beautiful golf course in Europe. Other easily accessible towns include Umbertide and Gubbio.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £5,687 more.
