A classic Tuscan villa with a period exterior and a wonderfully modern interior has just come to the market with 600sq m of living space.
Inside the front door opens onto a grand hall with a study on one side, and leads into a large open plan reception which combines kitchen and dining area - it also has French doors out to the garden; just off this living area is the guest bedroom suite.
Upstairs is another large reception room with a working fireplace and state-of-the-art entertainment facilities. There are additionally five bedrooms and four bathrooms and steps up to a large gallery which overlooks the living room on the ground floor, and enjoys views both north and south across the landscape.

The property also comes with a number of outbuildings including a converted studio and an unconverted stone barn.
Enclosed by a perimeter wall, the grounds come to around two hectares, and feature around 150 olive trees, a number of fruit trees and a small vineyard. A stunning outdoor swimming pool is also currently being completed.
There are a good number of restaurants nearby and the house is within easy reach of the A1 and the dual carriageway towards Siena. Also nearby is the picturesque hilltop town of Montepulciano (15 mins by car).
The guide price is €2,690,000. For further information please contact Aylesford International on 0207 349 5100 or visit www.aylesford.com.
