Located just 30 minutes (17km) from Lamezia Terme Airport and Lamezia Terme Centrale train station and only 13 mins (6km) from the centre of Lamezia in the Comune of Platania is this great property that requires completion.

The property itself is on 3 levels and in 2022 was partially renovated by its current owner to include demolition, removal of external fixtures on floors 1 and 2.
The work carried out to date is the floor & ceiling fitted with wood beams, roof structure and joists with wood beams.

The ground floor is 2 storage rooms that could be transformed into living space. These both have separate entrances but can be opened inside and made into one open living space with a bathroom and laundry area and a staircase leading to the first floor.

The top level is planned for 2 bedrooms with balcony off, a bathroom, hallway and small closet.
The overall internal space will be approx.  105sqm. The planned layout can be viewed in the photos.
Furthermore, on the first and second floor there is a balcony measuring 4.70 x 0.87 metres.
The total useful internal space will be approx. 105 m2. The planned layout is visible in the photos.
