This attractive property is one of the oldest properties in the small and quiet village. The house is located near the church, which in many other places can be found in the centre. However here, the church is on the outskirts of the village. From the house and the garden, you can admire the surrounding woods and meadows.
On the outside, the house’s charming looks, thanks to its blue wooden shutters, carries over to the inside: low doors, exposed beams, a large fireplace, and stone walls. Originally, it was a property with an adjoining workshop where two families used to live. Now it is one single real family home, where the workshop has been turned into a tasteful living room. In 2002, the property was completely renovated and double-glazed windows were fitted.
The house
The ground floor comprises of a kitchen (14 ½’ x 13’3”), dining room (21’1” x 10’1”), and a living room (272 sqft). Behind the kitchen there is a small utility room (6’6” x 5’7”), as well as a newly fitted bathroom (6’8” x 5’7”). The 1st floor’s front-to-rear corridor/landing (21’3” x 5’1”) is reached from the stairs in the kitchen, and it provides access to four bedrooms (11 ½’ x 9’, 10’ x 9’, 10’3” x 10’ and 10’8” x 10’3”). A 5th bedroom (170 sqft) with its own ensuite bathroom (71 sqft) is accessible from the living room’s separate staircase.
The garden
