Our (very) large house (1200 m2) is built in 1872. It has many authentic elements like marble fireplaces. You can use the grand piano and play tabletennis. It's very suitable for large families. On the ground floor there is a very spacious living room, conservatory and kitchen. On the first floor there are 5 large bedrooms and a large bathroom.

Because the house is so big, we rent an apartment at the back of our house and during the week someone rents the tower apartment. But you will hardly notice that.
 
In the big garden (over 10.000 m2) there is a trampoline and a swing for the kids. Behind the building is a nice pond where you can fish or brake with a canoe.
 
By a bridge over the pond is a little wood. You can use the fruits in the garden like strawberries, grapes, tomatoes, raspberries etc.
 
Very nearby is the river Ijssel: its nice to bike over the dikes and see the beautiful landscape. We have got many bikes (even two tandems).
 
Within only 3 km (easy to bike in 15 minutes) you are in the centre of one of the eldest towns in the Netherlands (with for instance the eldest house in our country): Deventer.
 
Deventer (approx 100.000 inhabitants) has a very beautiful medieval centre with a theatre, pubs, shops, museums, churches (f.i. the famous Lebuïnus Cathedral). In the pub ‘de Heks’ (the Witch) they sell far over 100 sorts of beer. There are all sorts of restaurants (Japanese, Indian, Greek, Kurdish, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch etc.).
 
Palace Het Loo in Apeldoorn is also nearby. Also Zutphen or the Veluwe National Park. From Deventer you can travel by train or by car easily to Amsterdam (only 100 km). 
 
In our village (Twello) is a nice swimming-bath (as well heated indoor as outdoor). If the weather is nice you can also go to Lake Bussloo (only 3 km) with very nice sandy beaches or Thermen Bussloo (wellness centre).
