9.5 room Detached house in Murten

A declaration of love with history

The property consists of different building parts. In the front area, there is the "tower" with a 3.5-room apartment. The following building part "farmhouse" has two apartments with a total of six rooms, two kitchens, and two showers/WCs on the ground and upper floors. The apartments are connected by an interior staircase. On the top floor, there is a large, uninsulated attic room. The old "barn" is currently only used as a storage and parking room. The property includes a stable that can be used for horse keeping. The sales object was built and expanded at different times. Documents show work done in the years 1782, 1830, and 1850. After a fire (1984), a new apartment was built in the "tower" (1990). In recent years, the buildings have been correctly, but sparingly, maintained and used without significant changes. The building is of good and solid construction and is in a generally good condition, corresponding to its age. However, various renovation works will be necessary in the foreseeable future.
