Restored half-timbered house with birch grove, Strandby

About this house

In Strandby near Haarby on West Funen, this villa with restored half-timbering sits on a 3,883 m² plot that includes a small birch grove. It has 116 m² of living space and 5 rooms. The oak kitchen from 2007 has underfloor heating, and outside there is an old stable and a carport. Strandby Skov forest and Nabben Havn harbour are nearby. The cash price is 995,000 DKK.

Heating is by heat pump with solar collectors and the energy label is C, which keeps running costs in check. Half-timbered houses need regular maintenance of timber and render, so ask about the restoration history and check insurance terms. It could work as a permanent home or a second home on Funen.

Buying in Denmark: buyers pay registration fees for the title deed and any mortgage, and it is common to hire your own buyer's adviser or lawyer to check the paperwork. People who are not Danish residents may need permission from the Ministry of Justice to buy, although EU citizens can often buy a home they will live in permanently. Danish mortgage lending to non-residents is limited, so check financing early.
