Hadn't seen this house for some six months and at that time it was 80% finished and the weather was dreary with low cloud. Then I heard from the owner a couple of days back, that not only was the house finished and completely restored, but that the garden had been landscaped and a driveway put in too.
So I stopped by in passing and I must say, I was blown away by the sheer excellence of the quality of finish and care the owner has afforded this property. Here are some pics.





The views, I should add, are quite breathtaking.
There is quite a lot of this type of property coming through now. It's been some seven years now since the boom-invasion started and many of these original pioneers, having restored countless properties, are now moving on to bigger or somtimes smaller properties as their life requirements change.
Quite what this means for the market in general, it is hard to say. But we have noted a trend towards restored property, usually with a pool...and that such property is commanding quite high prices, pushing on E3000 per mq. In fact almost Tuscan figures.
