Kragesvej 1

At Kragesvej 1, close to Melby, Liseleje Strand and Hyllingebjerg, you will find this charming holiday home in a lovely holiday-home area. It is easy to let the holiday-home feeling get right under your skin here, with a classic A-frame house, vaulted ceilings with a window at the apex and timber-clad walls. Welcome to a first look inside!

You are looking at 52 thoroughly cosy square metres, comprising a wonderfully airy open-plan kitchen-diner, two rooms and a bathroom. The house is essentially ready to move straight into, and you will no doubt be won over by the cosy atmosphere of the living room. The ceilings wrap protectively and snugly around you, and a skylight has been added to the living room, so the charming ’70s style meets a modern touch, with a direct view up into the treetops and on to the big blue sky. The open-plan living areas bring family, friends or couples together, and the cook’s efforts can be enjoyed indoors on a damp day or outside on the south-facing terrace. The rooms are very inviting, with the same pleasant vaulted ceilings as the rest of the house, and from one of them you can even step straight out and feel the soft grass beneath your feet. The bathroom rounds off the interior very nicely, with white-painted timber cladding and a shower at the end – all with just the right atmospheric tiles underfoot.

The garden invites play and hours of warm moments under the open sky. There are good lawns for budding ball jugglers, cosy corners for strawberry cake and plenty of room for sun loungers with a table for your book and wine glass. Here you can enjoy your holiday or long weekend undisturbed – including from the sunny terrace, which links the indoor and outdoor spaces beautifully. The terrace opens onto a magnificent view towards the horizon, where your gaze can roam freely over the treetops and far into the distance. The plot is rounded off by good storerooms adjoining a carport and a shed for the practical tools.

The charming little village you will become part of is surrounded by fields and blissful peace. Yet you do not have to go far to find some life in cosy, historic Frederiksværk, where the water flows slowly through the town centre; perhaps you will explore the town by canoe, paddling through the canals out to Arresø or Roskilde Fjord, or perhaps you will wander the old streets with their buildings rich in history.
