Description
At the heart of Sweden's enchanting countryside, there's something truly special waiting for those longing for a slice of peaceful living. Nestled in the serene region of Vånga, part of the vibrant Norrköpings kommun, the property at Vånga Högalund 5 invites you to explore a lifestyle that's both tranquil and fulfilling. This delightful country home whispers stories of its past while providing all the modern comforts needed for today's living. Perfect for overseas buyers looking for a permanent home or perhaps a charming (though let's be careful with that word) escape from busier city life.
Originally built in the 1800s, this 68 square meter cottage has been lovingly updated to maintain its unique historic character. Recent renovations have made it a harmonious blend of yesteryear aesthetics and contemporary practicality. Whether you’re planning to reside here year-round or use it as a seasonal retreat, this cottage is ready to welcome you.
Approaching the property, one is immediately struck by the rustic nature evident in its details. There’s something genuinely heartening about the soap-scrubbed wooden floors and the meticulous linseed oil-painted woodwork. The traditional panel doors speak volumes of history while seamlessly integrating with the clay-plastered walls. The spacious living room beckons with its newly installed Westbo stove—perfect for warming those cold Swedish evenings while enjoying a cozy gathering with loved ones. It’s a room that effortlessly accommodates both relaxation and dining, offering ample space for family dinners or lazy afternoons.
The kitchen upstairs is both functional and character-driven. Here, modern amenities meet a vintage charm that doesn’t compromise on stylish appeal. It's equipped with everything you need to cook up a feast or simply enjoy a quiet breakfast. The heart of the house moves further upstairs where there are two comfortably sized bedrooms. Simple, inviting, and just waiting for you to add personal touches to turn them into your sanctuary. There's a compact but well-appointed bathroom with a shower, toilet, and washing machine ensuring convenience without clutter.
Now, let's talk about the outdoors, because what's a country home without its natural surroundings? This property comes with a fabulous outdoor setup that includes a carpenter's workshop—a space full of potential for those with a penchant for DIY or creative pursuits. A quaint chicken coop can play host to chickens, which the current owners are glad to pass on if you're interested in farm-fresh eggs. Not forgetting the root cellar, ideal for storing preserves or root vegetables year-round.
And for those who find joy in growing their own food, there’s plenty here to get your green fingers busy. Raised garden beds await planting, and there's space for a kitchen garden too. With apple trees and bursts of color from lilacs and perennials, it feels like nature's playground.
The property isn't just about the house, it's about the lifestyle it offers. Within walking distance are two picturesque lakes, perfect for summer swims or quiet reflection times. Hyttesjön is a family-friendly lake, ideal for picnics or leisurely swims. Just a little more removed from the hustle, you'll find the quieter Ören, where reaching it involves a pleasant stroll through fields, leading to relaxing rocky bathing spots.
Life here in Skärblacka is about solace without seclusion. The local village of Vånga, a mere 5 km away, offers essential services such as a preschool and primary school—convenient for families considering relocation. For further shopping and services, the town of Skärblacka is just a 12 km drive. And for those wanting more hustle and bustle, the towns of Finspång and Norrköping are easily accessible.
The climate here is a charming balance of cold winters—perfect for fireplaces and warm blankets—and mild summers, ideal for outdoor exploration and gardening. Life in a country home like this means embracing all the seasons fully, with each offering its unique beauty and activity.
Relocating here means embracing a lifestyle that is quiet yet convenient, peaceful yet practical, making it ideal for foreign buyers yearning for that delicate balance of old and new, tradition and innovation. This home isn't just a house—it's an invitation to live life at a different pace, steeped in heritage with a modern twist.
