19th-Century Building with Terrace and Courtyard

At the entrance of a lane leading to the mother church of Casarano, we enter through a wooden door that opens onto a courtyard.
On the raised ground floor, we find four large rooms with star-vaulted and barrel-vaulted ceilings, original tiles and mosaics in perfect condition.
Three of these rooms overlook the courtyard, allowing the possibility of separating the rooms and making them independent of each other.
The ground floor apartment is also equipped with another entrance from the back, from a closed street surrounded by gardens.
From the stone staircase in the courtyard, we access through the terrace to the accommodation on the first floor. 
Here, the original stone frame that surrounds the door of the apartment on the upper floor is very suggestive.
The floor is composed of two large rooms, each with an original fireplace, very high ceilings and stone floors.
From the second room, the balcony opens onto a unique view of the church and the surrounding gardens.
Furthermore, the upper part is detached from a staircase leading to another entrance, completely separate and opening onto the back of the building, which offers the possibility of creating two separate dwellings or joining the two floors from the internal staircase.
In the basement of the building and with access from both the courtyard and the street, a stone cellar with a fireplace completes this historic dwelling.
This property is a unique opportunity for a conservative restoration of charm for a private home, small accommodation or commercial property, as the historical features are preserved without restoration interventions over the years.
