Versatile house with a large garden.

Basic Information:
This is a beautiful and unique property consisting of two buildings: a residential house and a former blacksmith's workshop. The residential house faces the garden to the south, while the workshop faces north, towards the village street. The living space of the house is 140 square meters (according to German housing standards), with 8 rooms, including one bathroom and 2 toilets. The blacksmith's workshop, renovated in 2006, has a usable area of 115 square meters, including a building-permit-approved sales area of 34 square meters, as well as a relaxation room of 27 square meters (according to German housing standards), plus a large garage with an electric roller door, a workshop, a shower/2 toilets, and a boiler room. The house is centrally located but quiet in Wankendorf, and all infrastructure (kindergarten/school, shops, doctors, pharmacy) is within walking distance.

Property-Specific Information:
The residential house has wooden floors on the lower level and carpet on the upper level. The blacksmith's workshop has a concrete floor, and the relaxation room also has wooden floors. The house has 2 fireplaces (in the living room and the relaxation room), as well as a pizza oven in the garage (for parties, etc.) – all 3 appliances have been inspected and approved by a chimney sweep. There is also a dry basement consisting of two rooms with a total area of 17.3 square meters. DSL is used in the property, while fiber optic internet is available in the street. The house could potentially be divided into up to three living units, perhaps for two generations, or as it currently is, for living and working. Furthermore, there is a positive preliminary approval for the construction of an additional house of 90 m² on the property, which is valid until March 2029. The property has a pitched roof and a flat roof, with concrete tiles and roofing felt, respectively. The facade is brick (for the main house) and a thermal composite system with plaster (for the workshop). The house features a well-maintained, old farmhouse garden of approximately 600 m², with mature trees, lawn, vegetable plots, and two greenhouses, as well as two storage sheds. Squirrels, hedgehogs, and many bird species are regular visitors. The property is completely enclosed by hedges, providing privacy. There is a good, friendly neighborhood.

Modernizations and Features:
The workshop was completely renovated in 2006, with a new roof, modern building insulation (180 mm insulation), a new concrete floor, and new windows (behind the original stable windows, to preserve the building's original character). In 2000, a connection was created between the different parts of the property. In the main house, many of the windows and the door to the garden have been replaced. The remaining windows date back to the 1980s, as does the insulation in the roof. The high-efficiency gas boiler was replaced in 2015 and is serviced annually. The fireplace in the living room was replaced in 2025. The bathroom in the main house has a vintage style but is in good condition and well-maintained. The simple bathroom with a toilet and shower in the workshop dates back to 2008. Some of the electrical wiring has been replaced, but further electrical work is needed. The built-in kitchen in the main house is from 2009 and is in good condition. Facing the street, there are three parking spaces and a wooden garden shed. The garage has a high-power electrical outlet, and there is an outdoor water connection with its own water meter.

Location and Amenities
The house is located in the old village center of Wankendorf. Wankendorf is a central town in Central Holstein, with a population of 3,000. The administrative office of Bokhorst-Wankendorf is located here, making it easy to handle all official matters with short travel times and deadlines. Due to its excellent infrastructure, the town has the character of a small city. There is a kindergarten, a daycare center, a primary school, and a community college, as well as various clubs, not to mention the volunteer fire department. In addition, there are three general practitioners, a dentist, and two physiotherapy practices. The town also has a pharmacy, a savings bank, a gas station, a flower shop, a large bicycle shop, two supermarkets (Rewe and Norma), and a good fish shop. There are also three snack bars and a restaurant. Further shopping options can be found in the neighboring town of Bornhöved, with Lidl and Aldi, a bookstore, and a bakery. Wankendorf also offers a very good range of services for older people. Transportation
The transportation links are excellent, as the town is located directly on the A21 motorway and is connected by other county roads. Distances: Kiel (28km), Neumünster (18km), Bad Segeberg (28 km), Plön (24 km) and Hamburg (84 km). Wankendorf has a modern bus station with frequent services to Kiel, Neumünster, Plön and Bad Segeberg. The nearest long-distance train station with ICE (high-speed train) connections is in Neumünster. There are discussions about reopening the former Wankendorf train station.
