About this house

A house with history and soul – ready for a new chapter

This villa, built in the style of the Westphalian coffee mill typical of the Münsterland region, was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century and comprehensively renovated down to the substance and continuously modernized over the past twenty years with care and respect for its original fabric. The result: a house that has preserved its original character in many details, while being technically up to date and featuring high-quality fittings and furnishings. High ceilings, solid proportions, handcrafted details that you can feel as you move through the rooms.
The house offers plenty of space, which has become rare in new builds – enough for a family with children, but also for anyone wishing to combine living and working under one roof. Whether children’s room, guest room, music room (for us, it was always the cultural room) or home office: the rooms (9 rooms, 3 bathrooms and kitchen across 250 m²) can be adapted to your life, not the other way around.

From the high-quality gourmet kitchen, the garden is accessed via a 20 m² terrace equipped with an electric awning. Not a small English lawn, but a proper plot of land. The garden is spacious, individually planted and tended with great care – not as a perfect show garden, but as a green living space. It has always been used in many different ways. Currently, it features a treehouse on stilts in the tree-covered rear section – dubbed Adventure Land by the children. Beneath a large willow is a sandbox with a diameter of 5 m, and the lawn is large enough for playing football. It is equally well suited for barbecuing, gardening or simply sitting in peace. And for those thinking ahead: there would certainly be room for a sauna or a pool. Another terrace beneath a tall plane tree provides a spacious and shaded place during high temperatures.

The surroundings also play their part. The location between the Werse and the canal offers short distances to walks along the water, stand-up paddling, a nearby riding stable and various sports facilities. Anyone living here does not need to drive for recreation and exercise.

As a family, we lived here for 20 years. Our children grew up in this house and garden. Now that they are following their own paths, our way of living is changing too – we need less space, and other things have become important. A new phase of life is beginning.

The house is in good condition and is waiting for someone who will treat it with love who makes it their own. Someone who uses the space, brings the garden to life, and implements their own ideas. Preserving the house would be very close to our hearts!
