Gammel Klausdalsbrovej 575, Have 23

The popular allotment association HF Rytterhaven has many different strengths. Firstly, it is close to central Copenhagen, so you can quickly swap exhaust fumes and crowds for complete peace and quiet. Secondly, the possibilities are endless when you buy an allotment cottage (kolonihavehus). Thirdly, this particular cosy little cottage is now for sale. With a little ingenuity and elbow grease, there is really not much to stop you turning it into an exciting project where couples, singles and small families can spend the summer months as soon as the water is turned on for the season. Shared events with a focus on children and a Facebook group are part of the community, if you would like to join in. A heat pump has been installed. The cottage has a spacious living space with the kitchen at its heart, as well as two really good rooms, which also count towards the living area. The covered terrace gives access to the property’s toilet, where the most obvious improvement would be to add a shower. Smooth white walls, wooden floors and panelled ceilings all let the allotment spirit shine through, and even at the end of the season you can settle indoors, simply by lighting the wood-burning stove, or use the covered terrace, away from the dew and the wind. The cottage sits on a lovely natural plot which, again with a little help, has great potential: you can plant a vegetable garden or put up a bench for two under the gnarled branches of the old tree. The entrance to the cottage is via Klausdalsbrovej 575, which takes you straight into H/F Rytterhaven. It all unfolds in one of the most sought-after allotment associations in the area, which is not far from Netto, Fakta, a small local shopping centre, good bus connections towards Copenhagen and a lovely golf course, where time stands still and the holiday mood really sinks in. We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
