Upon entering the property through the entrance hall, residents are greeted by a spacious and welcoming atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire home. The hallway provides immediate access to the main living areas, creating a natural flow through the ground floor. The living room stands out as a particularly inviting space, characterized by its authentic wooden beams and generous proportions that create a warm and welcoming ambiance. Large windows ensure plenty of natural light floods the space, enhancing the sense of openness and connection with the outdoors. A gas fireplace serves as an elegant focal point in the room, offering both visual appeal and practical warmth during cooler months.
The open kitchen seamlessly connects with the living area, maintaining a cohesive social space where cooking and conversation can easily happen simultaneously. This practical layout ensures that whether preparing meals for family or hosting gatherings with friends, the kitchen remains part of the social experience rather than being isolated. The kitchen design complements the overall character of the home while providing functionality for daily culinary needs.
The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate single-level living, making it suitable for those who prefer to avoid stairs. Along with the main living areas, the ground floor features a complete bathroom equipped with a bathtub, shower, toilet, and vanity unit. This arrangement provides convenience and accessibility, particularly appealing for those considering age-friendly living arrangements. Additionally, the ground floor includes a spacious bedroom complete with a walk-in closet, offering comfortable and convenient accommodation on the main level.

This well-considered arrangement demonstrates the property's versatility and its potential to serve diverse lifestyle requirements at different life stages.
Moving to the upper level, the attic presents a versatile space that offers numerous possibilities for customization. Currently featuring three skylights that ensure good natural light, this area could be transformed to suit various needs. The space offers potential for creating additional bedrooms, establishing a home office, developing a hobby room, or simply providing valuable storage. This flexibility allows future owners to adapt the property to their specific requirements and create additional living space as needed.
One of the most outstanding features of this property is undoubtedly its expansive garden. With a south-facing orientation, the garden enjoys optimal sunlight throughout the day, making it an ideal space for outdoor enjoyment.

Whether creating a vegetable patch, establishing outdoor dining areas, or simply providing space for children to play, the garden offers remarkable potential for outdoor living.
The garden's size and orientation create opportunities for those who appreciate gardening or wish to create an outdoor sanctuary. The peaceful surroundings enhance the sense of privacy and tranquility, making it possible to fully enjoy the outdoor environment. At the rear of the garden stands a practical freestanding wooden shed, offering convenient storage for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items that require shelter.
Parking is well accommodated on the property, with space available for multiple vehicles on the private grounds. This feature eliminates concerns about street parking and provides convenience for residents and visitors alike.
The property includes several modern amenities that contribute to its comfort and efficiency. Eight solar panels have been installed, helping to reduce energy costs and environmental impact. The home is equipped with comprehensive insulation, including roof, wall, and floor insulation, which enhances energy efficiency and indoor comfort year-round. Heating is provided by a Remeha Advanta combination boiler installed in 2012, supplemented by a gas fireplace and partial floor heating in the bathroom.
The location of the property offers a balance between rural tranquility and accessibility. Situated on a quiet road with an open view, residents can enjoy a sense of seclusion and privacy while still being part of a community. The absence of energy label information is worth noting, though the property's insulation features suggest attention to energy considerations.
