A house, 10 min. away from all necessay connections i.e. shops, restaurants, railways and public swimming pool,...
A renovated villa, with spacious rooms and a beautiful green garden in a fast growing and a lovely village (http://www.wetteren.be/productgroep/513/default.aspx?_vs=0_N&id=1813&pg=2143) of about 30.000 people.
Come to Wetteren, and experience a wonderful, and a peaceful life of living abit outside (http://www.tov.be/en) the city, but enjoying all the necessary connections to get to all big cities of Belgium; such as Ghent, Bruges, Brussels, Liège, Antwerpen…etc. by jumping into a train (http://www.belgianrail.be/en/Default.aspx) at 10 minutes walking distance from our house. Or simply by taking a bus (https://www.delijn.be/en/?vertaling=true) at the train station.
The village is situated just 15 minutes driving distance away from the lovely, cosy, multicultural and a touristical city of Ghent (https://visit.gent.be/en/home), about 30 minutes driving to the historical city of Bruges (https://www.visitbruges.be/) and a 40 minutes drive to heart of European city, Brussels area and the International Airport in Brussels. (https://www.brusselsairport.be/en). Most important, less than 50 minutes to the closest beach, Oostende, Knokke,..etc. If you have kids, then Puyenbroeck ( http://www.puyenbroeck.be/downloads) is the place to be, just less than 30 minutes from our home, for combining active(swimming, kayaking) .... and site seeing in one place.
