Discover the perfect combination of historic charm and contemporary comfort in this unique thatched farmhouse with several spacious outbuildings and possibilities for business use. The rural estate of more than 2 hectares has been thoughtfully designed, with the farmhouse and the large barn/garage with adjoining carport and storage as its centrepiece. The layout of the grounds creates an intimate atmosphere while maintaining an open character, where privacy, functionality and accessibility come together beautifully. At the rear of the property are facilities for keeping horses or small livestock as a hobby, including a large outbuilding with horse stables and hay storage. To the left of the driveway is another spacious outbuilding, currently rented out, offering plenty of privacy and its own parking area. Originally built in 1899, the characteristic farmhouse underwent a complete transformation between 2005 and 2007, resulting in a remarkable blend of old and new. A stunning glass walkway/conservatory now connects the farmhouse to the former thatched outbuilding, creating an impressive amount of living space and a surprising layout. The result is a stylish modern country residence where history, light and comfort come together seamlessly in a peaceful rural setting. Ground floor The welcoming central hallway features double pivot doors on both sides. The impressive living area strikes the perfect balance between modern comfort and authentic farmhouse details, while preserving the property’s original character. At the heart of the living space is a bespoke feature wall with a striking see-through gas fireplace, allowing the warmth and atmosphere to be enjoyed throughout the room. From the central hallway, the luxurious kitchen is reached through the impressive glass walkway/conservatory. This space beautifully connects the former outbuilding with the outdoors. The kitchen has a sleek contemporary design and is equipped with every modern convenience and luxury. A practical utility room with rear entrance is located adjacent to the kitchen. The spacious contemporary bathroom has a playful layout enhanced by the roof construction. It offers everything needed to relax and unwind, including a whirlpool bathtub, steam shower cabin, sauna, double washbasin, designer radiator and built-in wardrobes. Special Velux roof windows provide wonderful natural light throughout the home. The property also features four unique bedrooms, each with its own staircase leading to a mezzanine sleeping area.

Each room also includes a washbasin, built-in sliding wardrobes and a dormer window. In addition, there are two exceptional spaces on the first floor.
