"This 18th-century vernacular farmhouse in Naxxar's historic core had been abandoned for over 50 years. Once a working farm and family dwelling, it had fallen into serious disrepair. Organised around a central courtyard and divided into three wings, the property retained significant heritage features, stone slab ceilings, timber beams, xulliel walls, arches, and a large mill room, but its fragmentation and poor condition made it unsuitable for modern family life."

An 18th-century vernacular farmhouse in Naxxar's historic core sat abandoned for over 50 years and previously functioned as a working farm and family dwelling. The property is organized around a central courtyard and divided into three wings, retaining significant heritage elements including stone slab ceilings, timber beams, xulliel walls, arches, and a large mill room. Prolonged neglect led to serious disrepair, fragmentation, and structural deterioration. The accumulated damage rendered the layout and condition unsuitable for contemporary family life, necessitating comprehensive restoration and adaptive reuse to reconcile historical fabric with modern domestic requirements.
