Lerbjergvej 11

Even Morten Korch, the Danish master of the rural idyll, would not have a dry eye when Lerbjergvej 11 comes into view. This classic half-timbered house stands very handsomely in an idyllic setting and lends itself to a life free of stress and rush. Read on and see if this house might be just the everyday haven you have been looking for.

The home has graced this address since 1876, and its nostalgic character is extremely well preserved, with exposed timber framing, small-paned windows and a thatched roof. In other words, the house looks as if it has been lifted straight off a postcard, and so do its surroundings. You get your hands on a plot of no less than 1.897 square metres, spread across a green and lush area. So there is room for the children to race around the large garden and play hide-and-seek among the trees, while the grown-ups can settle comfortably on the south-facing terrace. Many will also appreciate the wide driveway on the property, which leads up to a huge and very useful garage, suitable for everything from storage to running a business. The possibilities are yours if you settle here.

Indoors, the mood happily stays high, as the house is bright throughout and ready to move into, with a good layout that will suit most people. You enter through a practical utility room, where coats can be stored and laundry sorted, and from here the home really opens up with some lovely shared living spaces. A beautifully modernised kitchen is open to the interconnecting dining and living rooms, and the house also has two good shower rooms and four rooms, practically arranged with two at each end.

Finally, the location is also worth dwelling on, as it brings peace to body and mind as well. You will make your home in the cosy little village of Vejlby, where you will truly live in the embrace of nature, with fields and woods around you and the coast within easy cycling distance. All your daily needs can also be met within cycling distance, in either Middelfart or Strib, and if the weather is bad and the car is at the garage, the bus leaves just a stone’s throw from the front door.
Please note that the house is rated as worthy of preservation, which means you can apply for grants towards future exterior renovations.
