Bøjdenvejen 23

Please note: the house is now empty and needs some tender loving care. The roof has seen better days and has a few broken roof sheets.

Between Odense and Svendborg, surrounded by the sweeping countryside of Funen, you will find Kværndrup. The town is best known for Egeskov Slot, which, with its fairytale towers and beautiful gardens, is considered one of Denmark’s best-preserved Renaissance castles. If you head out into the green countryside, a good road network gets you to towns such as Odense, Svendborg and Nyborg in about half an hour.

Kværndrup itself offers a peaceful life among classic houses on residential streets wrapped in greenery. The church, with its recognisable Romanesque style, towers over the town from the hilltop and accompanies you on your way to school, kindergarten and the shops, all of which you can reach quickly and easily on foot.

When you arrive at Bøjdenvejen 23, you are greeted by a friendly sight: a red-brick house that looks most inviting, with a lovely large paved front garden and green climbing plants around the front door. On the other side of the garden gate you can follow the sun on its path across the sky, as the paved area faces ideally south. A large enclosed double garage has room for both the car and the workshop, before you reach the other side of the house, which is marked by green open spaces. A roomy outbuilding provides space for all the practical garden equipment, and once that is tidied away, it is time to enjoy the sun and each other’s company on the green lawn. Inside, the house offers 106 square metres that bear the hallmarks of not just a house but a home, where life is lived and memories are made. A spacious room with cupboard space, a bathroom with laundry facilities and shared living space in the form of a living room and a kitchen-diner are on the ground floor, while the first floor has three rooms. Throughout, warm woodwork brings a homely atmosphere to the house, while good windows let natural light in all the way round. Everything from the bathroom, with its good cupboard space and light tiles, to the white kitchen units is fully functional, but if you are itching to put your own stamp on it, there is room for that too. For example, pull up the carpets, lighten the woodwork on the first floor or install a new kitchen. The home generally needs some tender loving care, but with the right vision it could become a fantastic home.
