The little castle on Molenstraat, Watervliet

Description

In the midst of the quiet village life of Watervliet, hidden behind an elegant iron gate, lies a small castle that exudes as much charm as refinement. A stately 19th-century house, once built as a country retreat, today an oasis of peace and elegance - where time seems to have no hurry. The static facade, plastered in soft pink tones, is supported by bluestone accents and a graceful symmetry that immediately shows character. Via the wide staircase, you reach the entrance hall: high ceilings, elegant moldings, and windows that generously let in the light. Every detail tells something about the craftsmanship of the time - from the wrought iron railings to the original carpentry that has been carefully preserved. Surrounding the house is an old, partly moated garden, together almost 3 hectares. Here, the house is reflected in the pond, among mature beeches and oaks. A place that invites stillness - a rare balance between grandeur and coziness. Layout: Through a well-kept front garden, you enter the stately entrance hall with a beautiful staircase. Through the painted doors, you enter the living spaces, kitchen, storage/pantry with shower, toilet, and 2 offices. On the 1st floor, there are 4 spacious rooms with dressing rooms, a modern bathroom, toilet, and a smaller room with a shower. On the 2nd floor, there is a large attic, not furnished but insulated. The building is fully basemented, the former living quarters for the staff.
