Set in the heart of the Weser Uplands, close to the popular Weser Cycle Route and surrounded by the protected landscapes of the Solling-Vogler Nature Park, this handsome country home occupies a quietly privileged position. Built in 1936 and oriented due south, the house reflects the considered craftsmanship and understated character of its era. It offers approximately 155 m² of living space, 59 m² of utility space and 77 m² of cellar, set within a generous plot of some 4,690 m².
The grounds include mature trees, a traditional orchard meadow and a glasshouse, affording a rare degree of privacy and calm within a small, established hamlet. The surrounding countryside is well suited to cycling, walking and fishing.
The main house has a full basement, housing storage rooms and a central heating system running on both oil and log wood. On the ground floor, the living accommodation comprises a kitchen-living room, an open-plan sitting and dining room, a study with its own entrance, and a cloakroom. The first floor provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The attic is unfinished but retains a large original smokehouse, which could readily be brought back into use.
The working wing of the property includes a utility kitchen with a traditional brick bread oven, a former pigsty now used as a fitness room, and a garage.
Interior finishes are of a consistently good standard throughout: terracotta tiling in the kitchen, stoneware flags, solid wood parquet in the sitting and dining room, and larch floorboards elsewhere. Walls and ceilings are plastered and finished in quality ecological paints. A particular feature of the kitchen is a freestanding range block faced in hand-formed, hand-painted tiles, incorporating both a cooking range and a kitchen stove.
Outside, the south-facing terrace is glass-roofed and laid in travertine, with a lily pond forming a natural boundary to the meadow beyond. A second seating area beneath a planted green roof, with a fire bench set against a natural stone wall, provides an attractive alternative. The kitchen garden extends to approximately 350 m² and offers ample space for flowers and vegetables. A glasshouse of some 25 m² serves tender plants, while a lily pond of around 35 m² adds further character to the setting. A field hide on the property offers open views across the surrounding farmland. A timber outbuilding provides storage for garden equipment, bicycles and firewood.
