Tarxien - House of Character

Description

42, Triq ix-Xatt, Ta' Xbiex TARXIEN – Charming 500-Year-Old Unconverted Townhouse Steeped in history, this character-filled, thick-walled townhouse offers a unique blend of traditional architecture, featuring a variety of arched ceilings and original timber beams throughout. Originally a bakery with an adjoining residence, the property boasts a spacious mill room complete with an authentic vintage baker’s oven. The ground floor also includes three additional rooms and a central courtyard with another separate room and a well—ideal for creating a serene outdoor space. On the first floor, one finds a generously sized main bedroom and a second, smaller bedroom. The existing roof area at this level offers excellent potential for conversion, allowing for a front terrace and additional rooms, subject to planning.

A rare opportunity with immense potential. Viewing is highly recommended.
