House for sale • 155 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

On a building plot of approximately 1,200 m² with a spacious, south-facing garden, this farmhouse—originally built around 1900 in solid half-timbered construction—can be found. The historic building exudes a special charm and at the same time offers plenty of space for individual ideas and craftsmanship.

Characteristic details, such as the "Cologne ceiling" found in almost every room, give the house its original and unique character. The ceiling height is approximately 2.10 m. The existing wooden windows are single-glazed and emphasize the historic character of the building.

On the ground floor, there is a storage room, a bathroom, a laundry room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room. The upper floor comprises four bedrooms, a dressing room, and an office.

The spacious, south-facing garden offers plenty of room for children, family, leisure, and individual design ideas. The property is located at the end of a private street in a quiet cul-de-sac, and is therefore largely free from through traffic.

In the price determination, the existing need for renovation or demolition has already been taken into account. For orientation, it should be noted that the current standard land value is approximately €380/m² and thus, for a plot size of around 1,200 m², the calculated value is about €456,000.

There is no monument protection.

In addition to the possibility of a comprehensive renovation of the existing house, the property also offers interesting prospects for new development. Any construction must comply with § 34 of the Building Code (BauGB). Whether the historic half-timbered house is lovingly restored to become an individual gem or replaced by new construction is left to the future owners.

Also, developing the area of the current garage building is generally an interesting option. According to the owner, it would also be possible to partition approximately 400 m² of the plot there without mutual building encumbrances. Furthermore, the property is located in a mixed-use area, so commercial use is fundamentally also an option.

Thus, the property offers various possibilities for interested parties who appreciate the potential of a large plot with a special historical background.

Access to the house is via a private road, for which there is a shared ownership interest (Parcel 350 1/5 share and Parcel 515 1/3 share).

Rural, quiet, and charming – in this unique combination, the location of the property in Lohmar-Scheiderhöhe is presented.

The property is situated in the rural district of Scheiderhöhe, about 5 km northeast of Lohmar’s center. The quiet surroundings and the location at the end of a private street provide a pleasant living environment without through traffic.

Lohmar, with around 30,000 inhabitants, offers good infrastructure for daily needs. Shops, schools, kindergartens, doctors, banks, public institutions, as well as various shopping and fashion stores are available in Lohmar.

The surrounding cities are also easily accessible. The district town of Siegburg is located about 4 km south of Lohmar. There, among other things, is the train station with ICE connections. The center of Cologne is around 24 km away, and the center of Bonn about 17 km. The highway towards Cologne and Frankfurt am Main can be reached in approximately 5 km.

Thus, the location combines the advantages of a quiet, rural living environment with good accessibility to the surrounding cities and important transport connections.

The existing half-timbered house is in need of renovation and thus offers interesting design possibilities, particularly for buyers and builders who are handy.

Key areas for renovation include, among other things, the thresholds partially affected by rot, the electrical installation from the 1960s, and the single-glazed windows. The oil central heating system was replaced by a wood gasifier in 2011.

Furthermore, the property is located in a mixed-use area, which means that, in addition to residential use, commercial use is also fundamentally possible.

Overall, the property offers an interesting combination of a large plot, historic building stock, and diverse development opportunities. Whether renovating the existing half-timbered house, building new, or a combination of various usage concepts – there is room here for individual ideas and long-term planning.
