Charming Period Home in the Historic Centre

To sell - Gagliano del Capo

GAGLIANO DEL CAPO – In the charming historic centre of Gagliano del Capo, just a few steps from the main square and the Church of San Rocco, we offer for sale a characterful independent house in need of renovation, featuring many of the distinctive elements of traditional Salento architecture. The property has a total surface area of approximately 100 sqm, arranged over three levels, and benefits from two separate street entrances. This feature, combined with the unusual layout of the rooms, offers excellent potential for reorganising and customising the interior spaces. On the ground floor, the first entrance leads directly into a spacious and atmospheric room with a traditional barrel-vaulted ceiling. The second entrance opens onto a small covered courtyard, which connects to the same room and provides access to the external staircase leading to the upper floors. The ground floor also includes an additional room with a traditional star-vaulted ceiling, currently used as a kitchen and enhanced by a large masonry fireplace. From here, there is access to a small private outdoor area at the rear of the property.
The characteristic open-air staircase leads to the first floor, comprising a bright star-vaulted room with a window overlooking the street. This room leads into a second star-vaulted room, currently used as a bedroom. The floor is completed by a bathroom with a window and flat ceiling. The bedroom also has a window overlooking the external staircase. Continuing upstairs, the second and top floor opens onto a pleasant and spacious terrace, ideal for creating an outdoor relaxation area and enjoying the unique atmosphere of the historic centre. From the terrace, there is access to an additional living area, almost independent from the floors below. It consists of a charming star-vaulted room with a masonry fireplace, a further room with a flat ceiling made particularly bright by its large glazed surfaces, and a second fully equipped bathroom. The property retains numerous original features of traditional local architecture and requires renovation and modernisation. However, it provides an excellent opportunity to create a distinctive Salento-style residence, a holiday home or an attractive property for the tourist accommodation market. The house is already connected to the public water supply and sewerage system, while there is currently no connection to the mains natural gas network. The electrical system is operational but requires inspection and upgrading to current standards. An authentic and characterful property in the heart of one of the historic towns of the Capo di Leuca area, ideal for anyone looking to restore a traditional period home while preserving its original architectural features and reinterpreting them with a contemporary touch.
