What an atmosphere, inside and out! As soon as you enter! The hall has a decorative door with sandblasted glass, on which the "cornucopia". The living room exudes tranquility through the standing wood on the walls and the cheese board floor. Through the authentic en suite sliding doors you enter the intermediate room / dining room. The kitchen behind it also brings you to the atmosphere of yesteryear: a granite worktop with a tiled sink, handmade cupboards, a nostalgic refrigerator and stove in a fireplace.
The nostalgic look of a cistern has even been taken into account for the toilet in the rear extension.
