Square farm with plenty of possibilities, on a plot of 14,233m².
Together with the adjacent residence, this historical farmhouse (1777) is part of the "Klein Hof ter Meren". Through decades of effort by the current residents, the estate has been almost fully restored. The entire property, along with the now demolished brewery in the back, was owned by farmer, brewer, mayor, and senator Josephus Verheyden. In 1905, he transformed part of the stables into the current residence.
Since 1999, the owners have been working to preserve the authenticity of the entire property. Plans to operate a B&B were not carried out due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The estate is accessible through the private driveway to the left of the residence, leading to the courtyard, as well as through the entrance on the street side. To the right of the living area is a huge garden with mature trees (red beech, linden, oak, plane trees), where one can not only relax on the stone terrace, but also enjoy beautiful views over the expansive fields.
This exceptional estate is an ideal investment for a large family, a self-employed individual, or for operating a B&B or similar business.
Layout: entrance with staircase, access to cellar, living room, dining room, office, kitchen with access to terrace and lower courtyard. The office has a vestibule leading to the terrace and the lower laundry/storage room and rear storage areas. Behind the (seemingly) garage door is a first bedroom, with laminate flooring, shower, and toilet. The staircase leads to the upper floors, where we find 2 spacious bedrooms on the first floor, as well as a bathroom, 3 storage rooms, one of which currently has a sink. The same quality staircase leads to the attic floor with a fourth bedroom and a huge insulated attic space, with a screed floor and a Velux skylight.
