Charming vicarage with exceptional potential, no renovation required Esenweg 215, 8600 Esen

—Ref. 4261023

This unique rectory is located in the centre of Esen, a borough of Diksmuide. The building was designed in 1923 by the renowned architect Thierry Nolf and is a magnificent example of an eclectic wide house that exudes history, style and craftsmanship. It is one of the architect's last projects, which gives the property special historical and architectural value.

The house has been largely renovated, with all the technical installations and joinery being replaced. The high ceilings, original floors and spacious, light-filled rooms create a warm, characterful atmosphere that reflects the grandeur of yesteryear. At the same time, the property still offers scope for further finishing touches to suit your own taste and style, making it a very attractive renovation project with great potential. The property is equipped with a home battery (H1 battery Pylontech) and 14 solar panels that contribute to energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as a charging station for electric vehicles.

Ground floor:
The spacious entrance hall with original flooring leads to an office space or dressing room at the front and a spacious living area with a view of the garden.
