Our house is a spacious house in Gistel, a small and quiet town. Gistel is situated within a distance of 20 km from Bruges, and only 10 km from the sea. You can even go there by bike if you would like that.
We live in a two-storey house once built by my grandparents and completely renovated three years ago. What we really like about our house is that it is light and that it is surrounded by a quiet, green environment. On the ground floor there is a hall with toilet, a spacious living-room with two couches, a fireplace, digital TV, family table and play corner. From the living-room you can enter the kitchen. The oaken kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, oven, microwave and an induction unit to cook. At the cooking island with the induction unit you can enjoy your breakfast or an appetiser. In the kitchen you can also find a family table. The sliding window gives you access to the terrace. There's another kitchen door that leads you to the washing room. In the washing room there's a washing machine, a tumble dryer, cleaning products and a shower. As you can enter the garden from the washing room, this can be quite convenient in summer when you come back from the beach. Next to the house there's a garage where you can park your car or you can leave it on the long drive on the right side of the house.
In the hall you can take the staircase up to the first floor. There you will find a small but cosy bathroom with a washbasin and a bath, 3 bedrooms and another toilet. Two of the three bedrooms (= children's rooms) look out on the back garden. The third one (parents' room) looks out on the street. It has a new, large bed (width = 1,80 m) and two bedside tables. Since there isn't much passage in the street, you'll have a quiet night.
The total surface of our stretch of land is 840 square metres. We have a front garden, a small stretch of grass at the side and a relatively large back garden. There you can use your relaxing chairs, BBQ... If you have children, they can use a plastic swimming pool, sandbasin and other toys to play with.
