Nieuwe Molen (New Mill) is a large, attractive holiday home situated in the small Belgian village of Sippenaeken, less than a kilometre from the Netherlands. This half-timbered house is bound to make you feel nostalgic. Even though it’s quite a new building. The old building was in such a state that it had to be demolished, after which a new half-timbered house was built in an ecological way. Construction was completed in 2000 and the end result was this beautiful holiday home.
Let’s take a look inside
Enter the house as is typical in Limburg – through the back door. You will immediately find yourself in the gigantic living room which has underfloor heating and is bathed in natural light. The two large dining tables can seat up to 20 people, and the attractive seating area near the wood-burning stove also offers plenty of seating space. From the kitchen you have beautiful views over the garden and terrace. In addition, the kitchen is equipped with all conveniences, including a 6-burner gas hob, large oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine and kettle. Plenty of tableware and kitchenware are also provided of course. In the pantry there is a large fridge and separate freezer.
On the upper floor are the seven bedrooms, dispatched into various capacities, from two-person bedrooms to five-person bedrooms. The five-person bedrooms have an upstairs section with two beds and a downstairs section with three beds. The upper floor also has a separate toilet with washbasin and two bathrooms. Both bathrooms have a shower and washbasin, and one also has a bath. The upper floor can also be accessed from the terrace.
Outdoor space
The garden doors in the living room lead onto the large, covered terrace at the rear of the house, where you can enjoy sitting outside into the early hours. On the other side of the ‘Nieuwe Molen’ (and the neighbouring ‘Oude Molen’) are several other holiday homes: the ‘Hubertus Huuske’ and four ‘Tiny Houses’. Guests of these holiday houses have joint access to the large play area, which is equipped with football goals, a volleyball net, and playground equipment.
Larger group?
Groups of up to 40 people can book this holiday home in combination with the adjacent Oude Molen holiday home.
Nota bene:
- There is a wifi connection available but due to the fact that the house is located in a remoted place, the signal can be rather weak (or interrupted) at times.
- This holiday home is not a party location. Student parties, stag/ hen parties, drink parties are stricly forbidden.
