A cosy family house in a lovely, quiet street, close to Bruges (20km) and to the sea (10km)
Our house is a cozy and spacious house in Gistel, a small and quiet town. Gistel is situated within a distance of 20 km from Bruges, and only 10 km from the sea. You can even go there by bike if you would like that.
We live in a two-storey house once built by my grandparents and completely renovated. What we really like about our house is that it is light and that it is surrounded by a quiet, green environment. On the ground floor there is a hall with toilet, a spacious living-room with a new coach, a fireplace, a wing piano and a little play corner. From the living-room you can enter the kitchen. The oaken kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, oven, microwave and an induction unit to cook. At the cooking island with the induction unit you can enjoy your breakfast or an appetiser. In the kitchen you can also find a family table. The sliding window gives you access to the terrace. There's another kitchen door that leads you to the washing room. In the washing room there's a washing machine, a tumble dryer, cleaning products and a shower. As you can enter the garden from the washing room, this can be quite convenient in summer when you come back from the beach. Next to the house there's a garage where you can park your car or you can leave it on the long drive on the right side of the house.
In the hall you can take the staircase up to the first floor. There you will find a small but cosy bathroom with a washbasin and a bath, 3 bedrooms and another toilet. Two of the three bedrooms (= children's rooms) look out on the back garden. The third one (parents' room) looks out on the street. It has a comfortable, large bed (width = 1,80 m) and two bedside tables. Since there isn't much passage in the street, you'll have a quiet night.
The total surface of our stretch of land is 840 square metres. We have a front garden, a small stretch of grass at the side and a relatively large back garden. Depending on the position of the sun, you can choose between 2 cosy terraces or create your own. :) Feel free to use our relaxing chairs, BBQ... The children will love the playtower and the swimming pool in summer!
We hope you'll enjoy our place as much as we do!

About the neighborhood
There are many things you can do while you are around.
If you are in for some culture, definitely visit the lovely cities Bruges and Ghent. Bruges is only a 25-minute drive. Just outside Bruges there are wonderful places to walk and just enjoy nature. If you want to visit Ghent, it will take you about 40 minutes by car.
If you would like to enjoy the beach, there are several options. Either you can take the bike and enjoy a day in Ostend. It is about 10 km from our house. By bike it takes you about 30 minutes to get there. You can definitely use our bikes. There's also a bus stop within walking distance. The beaches that we prefer are in De Haan en Nieuwpoort (about 20km from our house). It's definitely doable to get there by bike as well.
If you have children, you can visit the fantastic recreational parc Plopsaland, the local swimming pool in Gistel or the lovely one in Bruges, go to indoor playgrounds...
We are more than happy to give you more information about these and other places to visit.
In the small town where we live (Gistel) you can find nice restaurants (one with a large terrace, playgarden and lovely food!), 4 supermarkets, 5 bakeries, 4 butchers.... So even though it's a quiet place, you can enjoy the conveniences of a city.

Gute Kommunikation, schönes Haus, alles wie erwartet. Kindersitze für Auto wurden leider nicht vorbereitet, wurde dann aber rasch von den Großeltern erledigt.
Wir hatten eine ausgezeichnete Kommunikation, einen unkomplizierten Umgang und Hilfestellung, wo sie nötig war. Das Haus war wie beschrieben und sehr sauber.
Famille charmante et région à découvrir , la maison est telle que décrite. Nous avons retrouvé la nôtre comme nous l'avions laissée
Prima huis om te verblijven. Mooie grote tuin, Hier en daar nog wat verbouw, maar niet hinderlijk. Goed contact ook met Hannelore.
