Villa near Deventer, the Netherlands
Our (very) large house (1200 m2) is built in 1872. It has many authentic elements such asmarble fireplaces. You can use the grand piano and play tabletennis. It's very suitable for large families. On the ground floor there is a very spacious living room, conservatory and kitchen. On the first floor there are 5 large bedrooms and a large bathroom.
Because the house is so big, we rent out two appartments at the secluded parts of the house. One at the very back, and one at the top of the house. Due to the size of the house however you hardly notice this. Furthermore, the appartments have seperate sets of keys and one of them uses a seperate entrance.
In the big garden (over 10.000 m2) there is a trampoline and a swing for the kids. Behind the building is a sizable pond where you can fish or canoe.
By a bridge over the pond is a little wood. You can use the fruits in the garden like strawberries, grapes, tomatoes, raspberries etc.
Very nearby is the river Ijssel: its nice to bike over the dikes and see the beautiful landscape. We have many bikes that you can use (including a tandem).
Within only 3 km (easy to bike in 15 minutes) you are in the centre of one of the eldest towns in the Netherlands (with for instance the oldest house in the country): Deventer.
Deventer (approx 100.000 inhabitants) has a beautiful medieval centre with a theatre, pubs, shops, museums, churches (f.i. the famous Lebuïnus Cathedral). In the pub ‘de Heks’ (the Witch) they sell over 100 sorts of beer. There are all sorts of restaurants (Japanese, Indian, Greek, Kurdish, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch etc.).
Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn is also nearby. Also Zutphen or the Veluwe National Park. From Deventer you can travel by train or by car easily to Amsterdam (only 100 km).
In our village (Twello) is a nice swimming-pool (heated indoor and outdoor pools). If the weather is nice you can also go to Lake Bussloo (only 3 km) with sandy beaches or Thermen Bussloo (wellness centre).
