Beautiful Detached Family Home

PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE - £60,000 O.N.O.

For sale is our beautiful 2 bedroom detached home in the picturesque harbour town of Valdemarsvik. The property is an wonderfully located permanent home only 2hrs commute from Stockholm, alternatively it could be used as a fantastic, year-round, holiday home for 6 people. Originally built in 1908 as two self-contained flats, we totally renovated the property from the ground up in 2009, but now a return to the UK forces us to sell.

The house is approximately 76m² (818 sqft) and is laid out as follows. Downstairs a large enclosed porch opens onto a bright hallway with hardwood stairs leading to the upper level and a good-sized under-stairs cupboard.

Immediately off the hallway is a bright and airy open plan lounge / dining room (4m x 8.2m / 13’ 1” x 25’ 10”) with original “Kakelugn” fireplace still in working order, period hardwood parquet floors and twin aspect windows. The opposite end of the room is set out as a good-sized dining room featuring a newly fitted wood burning stove, period hardwood parquet flooring and twin aspect windows.

Leading off the dining room is a large fitted kitchen (3.4m x 3.4m / 11’ 1” x 11’ 1”), with all new appliances (Stainless steel Indesit fridge/freezer, Siemens gas range with fan assisted electric oven, Electrolux 6kg washing machine). Farmhouse style white units are contrasted with black worktop, kickboards and tile splash back. A door leads back into the hallway.

Upstairs is a bright landing with built in storage in the eaves of the roof. Leading off the landing are the master bedroom, bathroom, and second bedroom.

The master bedroom (3.6m x 4.7m / 11’ 9” x 15’ 5”) is very well proportioned with original hardwood floors and twin aspect windows. The second bedroom (4m x 3.25m / 13’ 1” x 10’ 8”) is south facing with a large window keeping it flooded with light all day.

The bathroom is newly fitted (prior to our purchase there was only an outdoor toilet and washroom in the garage), featuring a black glass sink on a ‘floating’ stand, a black roll-top bath with chrome feet and fittings, and a white porcelain toilet.

All windows are wooden double glazed units with the exception of the landing, which retains the original single glazed unit from 1908. The kitchen, hallway and landing have new, high-quality, hardwearing, laminate flooring. A complete new roof was fitted in February 2009 and the house was painted externally at the same time. All plumbing and electrics have been completely replaced and the house has been well insulated throughout. The house has a fixed phone line for cable TV and 10Mbps broadband internet, and a 85cm satellite dish capable of receiving UK Sky and FreeSat signals (this is presently used for Swedish Canal+ reception).

To the front of the property there is a small garden with parking for two cars. White wooden fences and a flagpole give the property an idyllic appearance. Fronting the garden is large single garage (7.3m x 5.3m / 23’ 11” x 17’ 4”) with woodshed and workshop extension with lights and power. Adjacent to the front door is a further woodshed (2.8m x 3.8m / 9’ 2” x 12’ 5”) constructed in poured concrete. The lay of the land to the rear of the property allows for a 15m² (161sqft) guest cottage to be built using the shed as part of the foundations, this would cost in the region of £1800 to complete. Total size of the plot is 660m² / 7100sqft

Please contact us for further information and photos. All kitchen appliances, fixtures and fittings, and Husqvarna lawnmower are included in the sale.
