Ground floor
Upon entering through the hall, you will find the toilet, the meter cupboard, and a wardrobe corner. From here, you enter the spacious living room, which has a warm atmosphere thanks to the wooden floor and cozy gas fireplace. The semi-open kitchen is spacious and equipped with plenty of storage space, a 5-burner gas hob, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a freestanding refrigerator that will remain.
An absolute eye-catcher is the attached conservatory/garden room: a bright space with three skylights, many windows, and French doors to the garden. Here, the indoors and outdoors are beautifully connected. The wood-burning stove also makes this a place where you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere all year round—from sunny mornings to winter evenings.
An open staircase leads from the living room to the first floor.
First floor
The landing, with pleasant natural light, provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom at the front is very spacious and has a built-in wardrobe, washbasin, sliding doors to the balcony and space for a private sitting area. Bedroom 2 also has a washbasin, while bedroom 3 has a practical walk-in wardrobe. The luxurious bathroom is generously sized with a walk-in shower, bath, toilet, double washbasin and plenty of storage space.

The garden surrounding the house is beautifully landscaped and offers several terraces to enjoy the sun and privacy. The garden also features a fish pond, a veranda attached to the garage and a gazebo at the back – perfect for long summer evenings.
