The layout of the property is as follows;
Impressive entrance at the side of the house, where upon entering you will find a nice open space with the first fireplace, rod windows, a wardrobe and ceiling beams in sight. From this room, the landing leads to the living room located at the front. During the restoration of the house in 1988, the 17th-century fireplace (called smuiger) was restored to its former glory. Wonderfully bright room with high ceilings, large windows, pinewood floorboards and the carbuncles in sight. Next to the living room is the upstairs room with access to the small cellar. The farmhouse kitchen is located at the rear and equipped with a marble countertop, oven, 4-burner gas hob with extractor hood and fridge/freezer, very nice are the French doors through which you can get to the garden. The two large built-in cupboards in the kitchen were originally used as a bedstead, now here is the central heating room, storage room and washing machine connection.
From the hall you reach the first bedroom located in the extension, presumably 19th century. Beautiful garden room with a round ceiling (barrel vaulted ceiling), several French doors opening onto the back garden and a closet area where preparations have been made for a second bathroom.
Toilet and cupboard space in the hall of the house.
