Our (very) large house (1200 m2) is built in 1872. It has many authentic elements like marble fireplaces. You can use the grand piano and play tabletennis. It's very suitable for large families.
 
In the big garden (over 10.000 m2) there is a trampoline and a swing for the kids. Behind the building is a nice pond where you can fish or brake with a canoe.
 
By a bridge over the pond is a little wood and a hut in some huge trees. 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 got many bikes (even two tandems).
 
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 eldest house in our country): Deventer.
 
Deventer (approx 100.000 inhabitants) has a very 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 far over 100 sorts of beer. There are all sorts of restaurants (Japanese, Indian, Greek, Kurdish, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch etc.). You mustn’t miss the very cosy restaurant ‘Chez Antoinet’
 
Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn is also nearby. From Deventer you can travel by train or by car easily to Amsterdam (only 100 km). 
 
In our village (Twello) is a nice swimming-bath (as well heated indoor as outdoor). If the weather is nice you can also go to Lake Bussloo (only 3 km) with very nice sandy beaches.

MIND: Officially our home's address was recently changed from Rijksstraatweg 26 into Terwoldseweg 1, but it is really the same house, on the same place, in the same village Twello, but Google Maps does not yet recognise this new address!
