About this property
Historic bakery right on the North Sea dike
Located directly behind the dyke line and comprehensively renovated, our lovingly equipped "Backhaus" promises you a wonderful stay not far from the small coastal town of Bensersiel.
The house is about 60 square meters and belongs to the area of a heritage-protected Gulfhof, which has also been converted into apartments. You leave secluded from the hustle and bustle in the midst of a landscape and bird sanctuary. Sometimes you can still lying in bed watching the dike sheep grazing in the morning - more Ostfriesland is not!
During the renovation, we have put a lot of emphasis on charismatic details. The facade was lavishly cleaned, the joints cut out and grouted in historically correct shell limestone. Custom-made, large wooden window elements promise a lot of brightness. Real wood flooring and modern furnishings complete the charm of the apartment.
The large terrace directly at the house offers you from noon until late in the evening sun. Garden furniture, parasol, barbecue and fire bowl are available for use.
The kitchen lovers will get their money's worth in the fully equipped kitchen. Anyone who misses their coffee despite Ostfriesentee will be happy about the Nespresso machine and milk frother.
Bedroom 1 is a cuddly nest for couples; Bedroom 2 can accommodate two people and is designed as an open duplex (access via a staircase from the living room).
