Endless charm in a historic farmhouse to renovate

Description

Rural, green and residential, this former farmhouse enjoys a special setting, just 700 metres from the heart of Hofstade, close to Mechelen and the Hofstade estate. Nature reserves, walking trails and cycling routes are nearby, with the Nieuwenhuizen castle estate as its neighbour. This historic farmhouse dates from the second half of the 19th century. To appreciate its unique layout, a visit is essential. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, dining room and kitchen overlooking the garden, a charming raised sitting room above the cellar, a separate study with access to a second cellar, and a practical garage. Both cellars are reached via stairs beneath the original trapdoor. Upstairs, a spacious landing with room for a desk leads to three bedrooms, a bathroom and a generous room with mezzanine, authentic wooden floorboards and a beautiful triangular window. A second staircase connects this room to the study below, ideal for combining home and work while keeping the professional space separate. The south-facing garden features a mature oak, a ginkgo tree, a Japanese ornamental cherry and a beautiful grapevine climbing the façade. A delightful setting for outdoor living. Total plot size: 625 m². Will you breathe new life into this charming semi-detached home?
