This space offers ample room for both a large dining table and a comfortable seating area. The view from the living room looks out over the Abdijlaan towards the Abbey and church. A notable feature in this room is the handmade mantelpiece, which was inspired by an original mantelpiece from around the year 1600 that once stood in the former village pub located on this site. The mantelpiece includes a unicorn as a decorative element. Additionally, a custom-built cabinet wall has been installed, combining aesthetic appeal with practical storage capacity.
