House to rent 7+1 • 238 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Rare Opportunity: This impressive half-timbered house combines over 300 years of history with modern living comfort. Open floor plans, light-filled spaces, and lovingly preserved details make this property a truly special home for those seeking something extraordinary. Built in 1681, last comprehensively renovated and insulated in 1997 and renovated in 2024, the listed house has maintained its charm and character. Spanning three floors with approximately 370 m², the home comprises 7 living rooms, a mezzanine with a fireplace, an open living area with a gallery, a country parlour serving as a kitchen and dining area, 3 bathrooms, 2 guest WCs, 3 storage rooms, and a large utility room. From the fireplace room, you can access the separate gallery living area, which consists of a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. The gallery provides a wonderful view of the open living area with a fireplace, which is bathed in light thanks to the large window that once served as the barn door. An expansive attic within the house offers additional generous storage space.

The approximately 460 m² garden, which surrounds the house, is directly accessible from the open-plan kitchen and invites you to enjoy outdoor breakfasts in the summer. The double garage with an expanded attic (featuring a multipurpose room and a small bathroom) is fully basemented and boasts a fully functional wood stove, perfect for baking bread or cooking pizza. Thanks to the spacious layout with some rooms having separate bathrooms, this extraordinary house is very well suited for a multi-generational home.

The well-maintained farmhouse is located in a central residential area with good public transport connections in 59394 Nordkirchen (Südkirchen district). The town center is within walking distance and offers shopping options for daily needs. Short distances connect you to neighboring towns such as Lüdinghausen, Senden, Ascheberg, Werne, and Selm. In Nordkirchen, you will find various primary schools, one comprehensive school, one special needs school, several kindergartens, as well as the University of Finance of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Additionally, Nordkirchen offers a rich cultural and community scene.

The historic farmhouse was renovated in large parts in 2024, so that nearly the entire house now features new parquet flooring. The walls have been spackled and painted, wooden staircases and doors sanded down and sealed, and the tiling in both kitchen areas renewed. The heating system is a gas central heating system, which also handles the hot water supply. In the entrance area of the house, there is an almost 400-year-old natural stone floor that creates a very special charm. The lower living area is heated via underfloor heating, ensuring a pleasant living atmosphere that is further enhanced by the open fireplace. From the fireplace room, you have access to 3 storage rooms and a large utility room. These rooms provide plenty of storage space, as the house does not have a full basement. Adjacent to the main house is the fully basemented double garage with an expanded attic. SAT-TV and a fiber-optic connection complete the property’s technical features. Shutters—partly electrically operated—are installed on all dormer windows adapted to the house.

Contracts for gas and electricity supply must be arranged by the tenant with a provider of their choice and paid directly to the supplier.

A prerequisite for renting is an unlimited employment contract, self-employment, or a similarly secure income situation that ensures the rent can be continuously covered by the tenant’s own income.

This property is alternatively also offered for purchase.
