Harrestrupvej 158

THATCHED HOUSE AND ENCLOSED BACK GARDEN WITH THE EDGE OF THE WOODS AS A BACKDROP Cosiness and authentic country charm are on the menu in green Harrestrup. Close to the village pond stands a thatched house that just needs some fresh thinking and your own homely finishing touches – there is real scope here to settle in comfortably if you are single, or a couple, looking for a cosy home. According to the seller, the thatched roof is fairly new and has been fire-protected. The lovely back garden is the icing on the cake. Standing and looking at the house, you are transported to another time. It has stood here since 1873, and charm radiates from the house, with its thatched roof, white-painted facade and glazing-barred windows with decorative louvred shutters. The front garden is already lightly adorned with a little planting, which may make you all the more eager to plant tall hollyhocks, fragrant marigolds and full-blown peonies. That goes especially for the enclosed, secluded back garden, which has the feel of a courtyard garden, topped off with a fine outbuilding in keeping with the style of the house. And then there is the home itself. It is a manageable home, which makes it suitable for younger and older buyers alike. As mentioned, there is room for improvement – and the chance to tailor a home exactly as you dream of it. There are 85 square metres to get stuck into, well laid out with an entrance hall, a utility room, a good-sized room, a kitchen, two living rooms and a shower room. For example, take up the carpet in one of the living rooms, paint and wallpaper, and replace the fittings if you wish – and hey presto, you have your very own idyllic little gem with the woods as your neighbour. The edge of the woods behind you, the fields to one side, and the village pond and the Harrestrup Å stream to the other. Day to day, you can follow the quiet roads and paths through the nearby allotment gardens, and a trip past the Harrestrup Ådal valley is well worth it – at least once a week; you can walk there in ten minutes, or cycle there in three. And then you have Vestskoven forest 700 metres away in the opposite direction. The natural beauty comes with practicality too: the bus stops just around the corner, you can drive to Copenhagen in under 30 minutes, and both Ejby and Skovlunde are within cycling distance. We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
