House for sale • 212 m² without real estateQuelkhorner Landstraße 3, , Lower Saxony

Here is the English translation of the text:

The former farmhouse can be customized to your liking or occupied immediately after a few cosmetic repairs.

Ground Floor:

In the ground floor bathroom, you can relax in the corner bathtub and then refresh yourself in the walk-in shower. The tiles have been selected to match the farmhouse’s style. To ensure a comfortable transition to the bedroom or living room, which are furnished with genuine oak hardwood flooring, there is a fireplace in the hallway. Of course, there is also an option—and plenty of space—to settle into an armchair in front of it. The kitchen is tiled and offers a direct view of the garden. Benefit from the many functional spaces such as the pantry and hall, or convert these areas into additional living space.

Attic:

In the attic, you can also enjoy the advantage of having a bathtub. The bathroom is fitted with neutral white tiles. The other floors in the attic are covered with laminate. Gaze directly at the sky through the large Velux windows, or spend some leisurely hours on the balcony.

On this mature property, you are shielded from the view of neighbors. Make use of the outdoor areas as well as many other useful spaces such as the garage, the “potato cellar” located in the garden, or the old timber-framed building—which is essentially a very spacious shed. Of course, you also have ample space to park additional vehicles on the property, leaving the green strip in front of your home free for your visitors.

Details about the Building:

The earliest records of a building permit date back to 1900. At that time, a thatched farmhouse with timber framing was built. The spacious outbuilding with timber framing as well as the hidden “potato cellar” are also believed to date from around 1900 and remain available. The present brick building was constructed in 1952 on the old foundation with a gable roof. In 1968 the attic was converted, thereby establishing the building’s dimensions in relation to today’s living space.

In 1973, a garage was built on the property.

Regularly, both minor and major maintenance or modernization work has been carried out, for example:

• In 2002 the roof was re-roofed, insulated, and new Velux windows were installed.

• Almost all of the single-glazed windows were replaced in 2001 and 2013 with wooden windows featuring insulating glass.

• The individual gas heaters date from 2013 and 2000.

• The house’s electrical system has been renewed, and residual current devices (RCDs) have been installed.

Macro Location:

Quelkhorn is located directly next to Fischerhude in the municipality of Flecken Ottersberg, which has over 13,000 inhabitants.

The municipality of Flecken Ottersberg consists of the villages Ottersberg, Fischerhude, Quelkhorn, Otterstedt, Posthausen, and others.

The municipality, with its rural atmosphere, is crisscrossed by numerous watercourses of the Wümme; in its southern part, a moor area extends near the present-day village of Posthausen.

With its diverse opportunities for local recreation—especially through an extensive network of hiking and cycling paths—and its excellent connection to the supra-regional transport network with motorway interchanges on the A1 as well as the Ottersberg train station (located on the Bremen-Hamburg rail line), Flecken Ottersberg is an attractive residential area on the edge of Bremen.

Micro Location:

The property with the residence is located at the entrance of Quelkhorn in the direction of Ottersberg, which is about 5 km away. The A1 motorway exit at Stuckenborstel is reachable by car in about 10 minutes and is situated between Bremen and Hamburg.

Everyday amenities can be found in Quelkhorn itself (within a 2 km radius): primary school, kindergarten, sports field with various activities, bakery, café, pizza delivery service, the Bergwerk (event venue), or the Parzivalhof (a social institution with its farm shops).

A bus stop is reachable on foot in about 5 minutes. The bus takes you to the surrounding villages or to the Ottersberg train station, where the Bremen-Hamburg route is served.

Alternatively, you can walk directly from your home through the fields to the edge of the forest to enjoy nature. A lengthy walk to Fischerhude, crossing the Wümme away from the main roads, is also a possibility.

In nearby Fischerhude (approximately 3 km away) you will find: primary school, kindergartens, a sports field with various activities, bakery, café, restaurant, ice cream parlor, fitness studio, arts and culture venues, a general practitioner and a dentist, an organic grocery store, pharmacy, Volksbank, and Sparkasse.

In nearby Ottersberg (approximately 5 km away) you will find: train station, primary school, kindergartens, a Rudolf Steiner school, the Wümmeschule Ottersberg (with a secondary school), a sports field with various activities, bakery, café, restaurants and fast-food outlets, ice cream parlor, fitness studio, arts and culture venues, a general practitioner, dentist, specialists, organic grocery store, beverage market, supermarkets and discounters, a health food store, pharmacy, Volksbank, and Sparkasse.

Anything you do not find in Ottersberg is available in Bremen, which is about 28 km away. Also, the shopping center “Dodenhof” in Posthausen, with its extensive range of shops, is only 14 km away.

The building is divided into two residential units—the ground floor and the attic. The units were rented out for over 10 years and were renovated beforehand. There are no known defects. The tenants have already moved out, so the house can be handed over to you vacant. Each residential unit has its own gas heater with hot water generation, installed in the heating room (a large storage room to the left of the main entrance). Merging the heating systems should be possible with a small adjustment. Alternatively, if the heat generator is replaced, all the necessary connections are already located in the same room. In addition, there are separate electricity meters, which can either be used individually or combined into one, depending on usage.

Combining the two units is possible without major alterations; the only requirement is to reactivate the door in the wall that currently divides the hall—it is presently blocked by a large built-in wardrobe. Alternatively, the later-constructed wall in the hall could potentially be removed.

At the time the photos were taken, the residential units were still rented. To protect privacy, we did not take any interior photos and therefore have not included any. We will provide these on another occasion, or we will be happy to show you the premises on site.
