Svogerslev Hovedgade 43

On Svogerslev Hovedgade stands a rarely available house in surroundings that are both rural and close to town. It is a true rough diamond: the house is built in classic master-builder style and has a fantastic, authentic charm – and with possibilities ranging from lovely dormer rooms to freshly sanded parquet and plank floors, you can achieve a great deal by putting a little work into an already well-established setting.

When we say the house is ‘rarely available’, we actually mean ‘never available’. The house has been in the same family ever since it was built in 1927. The family ran a farm just across the road, where the supermarket stands today, and this house was built back then as a retirement home for the farm’s older generation (an aftægtsbolig). In other words, it is a true family home, built for a safe and pleasant life, and real care has gone into the details. The plot around the house is also manageable, so you can quickly create a small, sunny oasis that does not take a lot of gardening.

Behind the front door awaits an already well-planned house with the potential for even more everyday space. To the left of the entrance hall, you will first notice two interconnecting living rooms that set a stately tone, while the ground floor also has a room, a kitchen, a bathroom and, not least, a workshop. Upstairs, meanwhile, three rooms are arranged around a landing, which also gives access to a large, usable flexible room. All in all, there are lots of possibilities, and as a bonus the floors have never been sanded, so there is plenty to work with once you get started.

As you probably know, you can do a lot to a home, but the location is what it is. Fortunately, the house is right in the centre of charming Svogerslev, where, as mentioned, the shops are just across the road, and school, childcare and leisure activities are within walking distance. The town is also close to woods and fjord, and it is only five kilometres to the bustle of Roskilde. Here your outing can end at one of the many cafés or cultural venues, or it can carry on into Copenhagen, which is quickly reached by the frequent trains from the station.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
