Overballe 3

We are heading for Nørreby, a cosy little village in the far north of Funen, where you now have the chance to get your hands on a slice of rural idyll, while the lovely half-timbered house stands ready to have new life breathed into it. The dream of family life and nature awaits here – could you be the ones to make it come true?
Built in the mid-1800s, the lovely house is defined by its half-timbering, exposed beams and multi-paned windows, and charm hangs thick in the air wherever you are, whether in the living room, the two kitchens, the utility room, the bathroom, the toilet or one of the five rooms. It is an obvious opportunity to put your own stamp on the place – you could, for example, knock the kitchens together into one large kitchen-diner – while still preserving the whisper of history that makes this particular property so special.

What would an old country house be without good outdoor space? The drive opens onto no less than 2.822 square metres of grounds, where mature planting, pretty flowerbeds, plenty of lawn, a flagpole and a greenhouse already set the scene for a really good outdoor life. Many hours in the sun await ball-game fans and those with green fingers alike, and when the heavens open and the rain comes down, you can retreat to the conservatory, a lovely, atmospheric gathering place on the threshold between indoors and out. Naturally, there is also a garage and several multi-purpose rooms.

Your new chapter begins in Nørreby, which exudes classic rural charm, with its village pond and village hall, sweeping fields and wide skies all around. Around four minutes in the saddle takes you to the water at beautiful Nærå Strand – and if you prefer four wheels, it is just 20 minutes to Funen’s northernmost beach, Flyvesandet. Small lakes and patches of woodland also grace the landscape, while Æbelø and its lighthouse complete the scenic picture.

When everyday life comes knocking, you will appreciate that the school and nursery in Skamby are just a 12-minute drive away, while in about the same time you can reach Bogense, which, besides schools and childcare, also offers shops, a bakery, a football club, a shopping street and a harbour setting.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
