Thatched-roof cottage (formerly known as a "Kreuzkate") for sale in Bredenbek. Directly from the owner, no real estate agent, no commission. 115 square meters of living space, 600 square meters of garden, 2 fireplaces, but connections are available for up to 4 fireplace inserts. The following improvements were made when purchased in 2012:

* New thatched roof (40 cm overhang and new, very sturdy lathing) installed by the professional company Dowers.
* 2 fireplace inserts (Spartherm in the living room with 8 kW - Made in Germany) and a very good Danish fireplace insert upstairs - as mentioned, connections are available for up to 4 fireplace inserts.
* All water supply and drainage pipes are new.
* New Vaillant gas boiler with storage tank, and all radiators are new, installed by the professional company Hansen.
* Terrace, 4 x 6 meters, with awning, electricity and TV connection (e.g., to watch football as soon as we can play real football again).
* All electrical wiring and the connection, including the distribution box, are new, as well as the main water supply connection.
* 4 carports (I've done a lot of work under them; my wife used to dry laundry underneath).
* Large new driveway (extra thick paving stones, because I used to transport heavy equipment in VW buses).
* New windows for the newly created skylights (installed by the roofing company Dowers).

The house is located just outside the village of Bredenbek, but it has the postal code of Bredenbek.
It's close to the motorway exit and the Hahn & Co. factory, which, however, only produces fiberglass, so it operates completely without chemicals.
It's also conveniently located near the bus stop and the train station.
