Why I Selected It
Originally three separate houses, each with its own deed, the buildings were joined internally over the years without being formally united. Those connections have created some awkward transitions, but they also offer an interesting starting point for a redesign.
You could keep the houses connected and create one generous home with multiple terraces, space for entertaining and room for visiting family. Alternatively, the three existing entrances offer the possibility of reinstating independent homes or combining your own residence with guest or rental accommodation.
What appeals to me is that flexibility: generous rooms, natural light and outdoor spaces that could support several very different ways of living.

Renovation Notes
The property requires substantial renovation, including a careful rethink of the internal layout. Keeping the houses connected would allow you to improve the flow between them and create a cohesive home, making the most of the terraces and generous footprint.
Alternatively, a design could explore restoring their independence, with each house given its own layout and identity.
The indicative renovation allowance is €90,000–€140,000, depending on the chosen configuration and finish. Developing three independent homes may require additional kitchens, services and other works, so the budget should be reviewed against a specific design.
