The first floor accommodates two generous children’s bedrooms, each offering lovely views across the surrounding greenery, together with ample space for sleeping, studying and play. A beautifully renovated family bathroom serves this floor. Occupying the entire top floor, the impressive master suite feels like a boutique hotel hidden beneath the roofline. Bathed in natural light from multiple skylights it offers exceptional privacy and peaceful views across the surrounding countryside, creating a true retreat within the home. The fully renovated lower ground floor provides exceptional flexibility. With its own private entrance directly from the garden, it currently features a comfortable guest or teenage bedroom alongside a dedicated fitness room.

The flexible lower ground floor provides extra space for teenagers, guests, an au pair, or for working from home, while the mature garden becomes a natural extension of the house throughout the year. Whether children are playing on the lawn, jumping on the trampoline, harvesting vegetables from the greenhouse, or gathering around the dining table after school, the property offers a setting where family life unfolds naturally. The home’s flexible layout also adapts effortlessly to changing needs, whether you require additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, a dedicated home office, a fitness room or a creative space. Private park-like grounds: The beautifully landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully designed as a natural extension of the home, creating a collection of outdoor spaces that invite relaxation, entertaining and everyday family life throughout every season. Completely enclosed by elegant brick walls and mature hedges, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy while remaining wonderfully open, bright and connected to the surrounding landscape. Throughout the warmer months, the garden becomes another living room. Begin the day with breakfast on the charming terrace beside the greenhouse as the morning sun filters through the trees. Spend long summer afternoons beneath the pergola, enjoying lunch with family and friends. Watch children play freely across the expansive lawn while preparing dinner with the French doors wide open. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit or simply relax with a glass of wine as the garden lighting gradually transforms the entire landscape. Every outdoor space has been designed with its own character, allowing the gardens to be enjoyed from sunrise until long after sunset. Beautiful Spanish-brick pathways connect lawns, terraces, and landscaped plantings, creating a timeless Mediterranean atmosphere that perfectly complements the house’s architecture. The principal terrace, shaded by a pergola, provides an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, celebrations and relaxed summer evenings. A second terrace beside the greenhouse offers a quieter atmosphere reminiscent of a French courtyard, making it the perfect place for morning coffee, reading or simply enjoying the surrounding greenery. Two generous IPE hardwood terraces further extend the living areas into the garden. One flows directly from the dining room, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor entertaining, while the second offers another peaceful outdoor lounge where the changing light and surrounding landscape can be enjoyed throughout the day. The charming greenhouse and adjoining raised planting beds provide the perfect setting for growing herbs, vegetables, and flowers, while also creating a peaceful retreat for anyone who enjoys gardening or simply spending time in nature. Beyond the formal garden, uninterrupted views stretch across protected countryside where horses graze peacefully throughout the summer months. This unique setting provides an extraordinary sense of openness and tranquillity that is rarely found so close to Copenhagen. The property also offers private parking for up to four vehicles, together with a substantial detached outbuilding that provides generous storage for bicycles, sports equipment, gardening tools, and seasonal furniture. As dusk settles, the entire property takes on a different character. A professionally designed Philips Hue outdoor lighting system gently illuminates mature trees, pathways, terraces and architectural features, creating a warm, elegant atmosphere that makes the gardens every bit as inviting after sunset as they are during the day. Location: The property enjoys an exceptionally peaceful setting bordering protected open countryside, where horses graze throughout the summer, and an extensive network of forests, lakes, walking trails and cycling routes begins almost at the end of the driveway. It offers the tranquillity of country living while remaining remarkably well connected to Copenhagen.
