Description, Opportunities & Potential, Internal Features, External Features

The stunning Villa Leonora is located on the outskirts of the city of San Vito dei Normanni. Only 20 minutes from the international airport and bustling port city of Brindisi, and 10 minutes from fabulous beaches this beautifully finished property can be described as a little piece of tranquility.

Two finely finished bedrooms and additional loft space allow this property to be used as a fine family home, or as a rental investment.

Opportunities & Potential

The villa currently bears the possibility to convert the existing loft space into a further twin bedroom. The local commune allows for the current veranda (totaling 70m²) to be enclosed, creating further rooms. A suggested expansion would be a new kitchen/diner, and an additional bedroom - allowing conversion of existing kitchen and dining room into a new en-suite master bedroom and additional bathroom.

As the property stands a minimum weekly rental income would be in the region of €500. If a swimming pool were to be constructed this would rise to a minimum of €850 per week. Further additions to the villa would lead to a higher rental income.

Whilst no swimming pool exists at the moment, planning permission is in place for an in-ground pool to be constructed adjacent to the veranda.

Externally there is one studio apartment and a free-standing double garage. This garage could be converted into a further studio.

A five stall stable block (with opportunity to expand by a further two stalls) with large tack and feed rooms, along with a large paddock to the side of the property, could be utilised in conjunction with the studio apartment(s) to establish a small riding school. Within walking distance is a newly opened hotel and spa complex, with pool, health club and restaurant.

Disclaimer: Purchasers need to satisfy themselves that all existing and potential development complies with appropriate local planning permissions and building regulations.
