Nature house in IJzendijke
Zeeland, Netherlands

Just one kilometer away from the medieval town of IJzendijke, surrounded by serene nature, you will find this romantic cottage on a generous plot of more than 2000 m². It offers breathtaking views over the vast fields and is the perfect place for those looking for peace, space and a piece of history.This charming cottage, built in 1870 (Zeeland heritage), has undergone a careful transformation over the years. The original character has been preserved, while the house is equipped with all modern conveniences. The authentic floors still creak delightfully and the doors are low (because yes, the people of that time were a bit smaller!). Yet you will enjoy comfort and style here, with a new oak parquet floor in the living room and recently renewed window frames with double glazing. The large garden surrounding the house offers plenty of space to relax. Enjoy the sun on the various seating areas, or seek shade for a moment of rest and relaxation.
Nature and surroundings
The garden is currently being transformed into an ecologically friendly biotope, this will take some time to reach maturity. The beautiful, wide beach of Zeeland Flanders is 15 kilometers from the house. This beach has several times been voted the cleanest beach in the Netherlands. Even in the pre-and post-season it is wonderful to get a breath of fresh air. In the immediate vicinity of the house you can enjoy walking and cycling on 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 reserve the Braakman with several hiking trails. In the historic towns such as Sluis, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Terneuzen you can enjoy shopping and sniffing up some culture, so these are definitely worth a visit. A nice day trip is to visit Vlissingen and Middelburg. You can take the bicycle ferry from Breskens across. So something for everyone.

When I arrived, I was quite taken aback. From the outside, you can see a lot of overdue maintenance. Inside, the cottage has a recently renovated bathroom, which is very nice, and a clean toilet. In addition, the stovetop and range hood will be replaced this fall. The kitchen is very dark and old, but the stovetop worked fine, and I left the door open while cooking.
The cottage is very old (built in 1881), and you can tell by the uneven floors, low doorways, a very steep staircase with (too) narrow steps, and how quickly the cottage gets damp. However, the latter issue was quickly resolved by turning up the gas heater in the living room.
FOR THE OWNERS ONLY:
There are a few safety issues in the cottage.
1. The staircase—it’s steep, and you’ll bump your head at the top unless you crouch while going up or down.
2. The black steps in the bathroom make it hard to see where the step ends. I’d recommend adding adhesive strips here.Toen ik aankwam schrok ik wel flink. Aan de buitenkant is veel achterstallig onderhoud te zien. Binnen heeft het huisje een recent verbouwde badkamer, die heel mooi is en een net toilet. Verder wordt dit najaar de kookplaat en de afzuigkap vervangen. De keuken is heel erg donker en oud, maar de kookplaat werkte prima en bij het koken heb ik de deur open gelaten.
Het huisje is heel oud (gebouwd in 1881) en dat is merkbaar aan scheve vloeren, lage deuropeningen, een heel steile trap met (te) smalle traptreden en het snel vochtig worden van het huisje. Dit laatste is echter snel opgelost door de gaskachel in de woonkamer hoger te zetten.
ALLEEN BESTEMD VOOR DE EIGENAREN:
Er zijn een paar veiligheidsissues in het huisje.
1. De trap - steil en aan top stoot je je hoofd tenzij je gebukt de trap op of afgaat
2. De zwarte traptreden in de badkamer maken het lastig te zien dat er een afstap is. Ik zou aanraden hier plakstrips aan te brengen.The cottage is located on a quiet dike road in a lovely, large garden. However, you can hear quite a bit of traffic from the nearby N61.
The garden features several seating areas, a charcoal grill, and a beautiful view of a field of flowers. The cottage is neatly furnished, and the beds are comfortable.
The downsides of the cottage are the extremely dark kitchen, the very steep staircase, and, as a result, the lack of a bathroom on the upper floor.Het huisje ligt aan een rustige dijkweg in een heerlijke grote tuin. Wel is er tamelijk veel verkeer hoorbaar op de nabij gelegen N61.
In de tuin zijn meerdere zitjes, een houtskool bbq en een mooi uitzicht over een veld met bloemen. Het huisje is netjes ingericht, de bedden zijn goed.
Nadeel van het huisje zijn de ontzettend donkere keuken, de erg steile trap en in het verlengde daarvan het gemis van een toilet op de bovenverdieping.This text is automatically translated. -

So far, we've had nothing but great experiences with nature house
We hebben tot nu toe alleen maar hele goede ervaringen met natuurhuisje
It was wonderful—everything you needed, clean, and in a lovely, peaceful setting among beautiful fields, with a gorgeous, large garden. It’s a bit dry right now because of the lack of rain, but that didn’t spoil the fun—not for us and not for our dog.
And yet it’s close to IJzendijke with all its amenities.Het was heerlijk, alles wat je nodig had, proper, heerlijk rustig gelegen tussen prachtige velden, een prachtig grote tuin, op dit moment wel droog in verband met weinig regen, maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken, niet voor ons en niet voor onze hond
Toch dichtbij IJzendijke met al zijn voorzieningenThis text is automatically translated. -
