Additionally, the first floor includes an extra room that can serve flexibly as a home office or guest room, adding to the versatility of the layout.
The second floor houses the sleeping quarters and bathroom facilities. Here you will find multiple well-proportioned bedrooms, offering comfortable accommodation for families or couples who require additional space for purposes such as working from home. The exact configuration allows for a master bedroom along with three additional bedrooms, providing flexibility in how the space is utilised.
The bathroom on the second floor is equipped with a double washbasin, a walk-in shower, toilet facilities, and a washbasin unit. There is also a separate toilet within the property, adding convenience for households with multiple occupants.
One of the standout features of this property is the generous balcony on the second floor.

The balcony represents a significant enhancement to the living comfort of the property and is described as a particular highlight of the home.
The property has been neatly maintained and is presented in move-in ready condition, allowing new owners to settle in without the need for immediate renovation work. The roof was renewed and insulated in November 2025, contributing to both the structural integrity and energy efficiency of the building. The property holds an energy label of C, with insulation measures including roof insulation and double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant gas-fired combination boiler dating from 2006, which is owned rather than leased.
