This cosy, romantic cottage is located one kilometer from the medieval town of IJzendijke on a plot of more than 2000 m² with a beautiful, wide view over the fields.
If you are looking for a quiet place with dark starry nights, but want to have all amenities at a short distance, then you have found your little paradise here.
Malpertuus dates from 1870 (Zeeuws heritage) and has been expanded and modernized over the years without doing any violence to the original character.
So yes the floors creak and the doors are a bit lower as the people were a lot smaller in 1870 than they are now.
The living room has just been given a new oak parquet floor (Feb 2022). Just as various roofs have been fitted with new red tiles.
Around the house is the large garden with plenty of sun and shade spots.
The garden is currently being transformed into an ecologically friendly biotope. Of course it will take a while until it is fully developed.
The garden has several seating areas so you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
And yes, the cottage is old, very old and very charming and sweet!
Layout: hall, toilet, modern spacious kitchen with gas hob, oven, refrigerator and all necessary utensils and a dining table.
Here is also access to the (new) bathroom with walk-in shower and sink, and the stairs to the top.
Spacious, bright living room with sitting area with 2 comfortable sofas and a gas heater, TV.
On the renovated first floor are the two bedrooms: one with 2 single beds (13m2), washbasin and one with a double bed (12m2). There is also a single bed on the landing. There are new mattresses on all beds (Feb.22)
The house has a storage room with a washing machine.
There is room for several cars in the driveway.
Please note: it is an old house, and we find that very charming, but it also has low doors (in 1870 the people were a lot smaller) and the stairs are narrow and creaky ..... it has been modernized, but with the preservation of the charming character.
The cottage is located in the hamlet "Pont Avance", near the border with Belgium.
The beautiful, wide beach of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is 15 kilometers away from Malpertuus.
This beach has been voted the cleanest beach in the Netherlands several times.
It is also wonderful to get a breath of fresh air in the before and after season.
In the immediate vicinity of the cottage you can enjoy walking and cycling over the dikes and visit the nature reserve 't Zwin in Cadzand, this is definitely worth it. 10 km away, in Biervliet is the beautiful nature and hiking area the Braakman.
In the historic towns such as Sluis, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Terneuzen you can enjoy shopping and sniff culture, so definitely worth a visit.
A nice day trip is to cross the ferry from Breskens to Vlissingen and Middelburg
So something for everyone.
Pets allowed: max 1 dog.
But also make sure that the four-legged friend has a nice holiday and please bring your own basket.
