Characterful detached 1950s home with a surprising layout and endless possibilities! This charming and spacious home (200 m²) combines the authentic character of the 1950s with modern-day comfort. Over the years, the property has been carefully renovated and modernised while preserving its original charm. What makes this home particularly special is its surprising layout, featuring two separate living areas, each with its own entrance, kitchen and living space. This offers excellent opportunities for multigenerational living, accommodating family members who require care, or allowing several generations to live under one roof while maintaining their privacy. The property is also ideal for a large family or for use as a home office or professional practice. It features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms and several storage areas. The attractive garden with various seating areas and the spacious private driveway complete the picture.

Playgrounds, sports fields, a supermarket and a bus stop are all within walking distance.

From the storage area, a door leads to a wooden extension, which is partly enclosed by French doors opening onto the garden and partly open towards the driveway on the left-hand side.

A wooden gate leads to the rear house on one side and to a wooden storage shed on the other, suitable for storing bicycles, scooters and/or wheelie bins. The rear house has its own cosy, secluded garden with a variety of plants, including flowering and fruit-bearing plants and shrubs. There is also a chicken coop with an enclosed run. This garden is separated from the side and front gardens, which can be accessed from the front house. Pathways and planting alternate in a playful arrangement, creating an attractive and harmonious outdoor space. The side garden features a detached wooden shed with electricity, together with an adjoining pergola connecting the front and rear gardens. Attached to the wooden shed is a conservatory-style space with extensive glazing. The terrace alongside the house is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the afternoon sunshine.
