Thatched 1821 half-timbered house with garden room, Blommenslyst

About this house

Ravnebjerggyden 19 in Lille Ubberud, near Blommenslyst on Funen, is a detached half-timbered house with a thatched roof, built in 1821 and registered as renovated in 2016. Estate Dalum-Hjallese lists it at a cash price of 995,000 DKK with 138 m² of living space over two floors on a 2,520 m² plot.

The ground floor has an entrance hall with stairs, a living room, a kitchen with direct access to a glazed garden room, a utility room and a bathroom. The garden room opens onto a terrace. Upstairs are a bedroom and a second room under the sloping ceilings. A separate garage and a laundry room come with the property, and the broker says it is ready for quick takeover.

The garden is lush, with established trees and shrubs and both sunny and shaded corners. The house sits on the rural edge of Odense municipality among fields and woodland, about 0.6 km from Blommenslyst and roughly 8 km in a straight line from central Odense. The broker lists shopping 3.55 km away and a school about 1.1 km away. The Funen motorway runs roughly 1 km to the south.

Practical points: heating is district heating and the energy label is D. A thatched roof needs periodic maintenance and suitable insurance, and public records list the garage roof as fibre cement that may contain asbestos.

Buying in Denmark: budget for registration fees on the deed and any mortgage, use a buyer's adviser or lawyer to review the documents, and talk to a bank early if you need financing as a foreign buyer. Non-residents may need permission to buy property in Denmark, so check the rules before making an offer.
