An apartment on the first floor (raised first floor) of approx. 35.50 m2 living space with a kitchenette, a shower room and separate sleeping area.

On the second floor there is an apartment of approx. 70 m2 living space, 2 rooms, kitchen, bathroom with bathtub. It could easily be divided into 3 rooms.
This apartment has a large balcony of approx. 13.20 m, facing south.

There is another residential unit on the top floor. The living space here is approx. 63 m2 divided into 2 rooms, kitchen, shower room with loggia facing south. This apartment also has a converted attic, which can be reached via a staircase. There is also a toilet room.

Roller shutters are fitted to all windows in these three residential units.

The residential building has a driveway with a width of approx. 4 meters and a height of approx. 3.30 meters, which is closed with a sectional door.
This driveway is approx. 9.30 meters long and provides access to the courtyard. There is an electric roller shutter door on the courtyard side, which means that the driveway can be used as a closed garage.

From the courtyard you reach another building, which was built around the 1970s in solid construction. It consists of a ground and upper floor and a partial basement. The living space here is approx. 90 m2 divided into 3 rooms, kitchen, hallway and bathroom. Renovation is required here. The lower floor of this building may be suitable for conversion for senior citizens. The roof was renewed in 2015 and fitted with thermal insulation.
There is also a large garage in the courtyard, which may be suitable for a motorhome or truck/box van. The length is approx. 7.30 m, the width approx. 3.20 m and the height approx. 3.05 m.
At the end of the courtyard is the barn with 4 adjoining rooms and a floor area of approx. 80 m2. The location of this barn may be suitable as a building site for another residential building, which must be clarified with the building authority of the city of Frechen. A telephone inquiry with the responsible officer was positive.

The approx. 120m2 hall/workshop with a ceiling height of approx. 3.76 m adjoins the barn. There is a vehicle pit here and a vehicle lifting platform in the passageway of the barn.

The roofs of these two buildings - especially the large roof of the barn - are well suited for a photovoltaic system due to the favorable solar orientation.
There is a large, sunny garden behind the hall/workshop.
