Description

Design farmhouse overlooking the fields

Beautifully located in Schelderode near the Makkegem woods and with fantastic walking and cycling opportunities. Twenty minutes from Ghent and yet enjoying the countryside.

The house itself is halfway between a charming farmhouse and an industrial loft. On the outside, the farmhouse temperament prevails, while the inside has a contemporary character. The large windows with a view of infinity give a free and wide feeling. Nature is literally brought inside.

The modern character is created by a continuous polished concrete on the floor, the large living kitchen with stainless steel kitchen island including bar, sliding windows that can be fully opened and numerous tailor-made built-in cupboards. The charm comes from the wooden ceiling beams, wooden doors and interior shutters, the height differences of the rooms and two cosy fireplaces.

The ground floor comprises the entrance hall, guest toilet, office room, living kitchen with space for a dining table, followed by a first spacious living room, in the side wing a second large living area with office space on the mezzanine. The master bedroom on parquet floor with dressing room and bathroom is also on the ground floor. On the second floor are three nice bedrooms on wooden floor and a bathroom.

The house is in perfect order. The first renovation dates from 2012. The extension with thatched roof was completed in 2019.

The phenomenal views of the fields is the biggest trump card, but the architecture and charm of the house are certainly not to be underestimated. An absolute gem!
