Cottage for sale, 2+1, 65 m², 179 m² plot, Bohuslavice u Kyjova

Friday, six in the evening. Close the gate behind you and the week stays outside.

The cottage stands in the old part of Bohuslavice u Kyjova, a short walk from the church of St Philip and St James, in a narrow winding street with hardly any traffic. The living quarters face the cottage's own enclosed courtyard. Orchards and vineyards begin right behind the houses, with the Chřiby hills a little further on.

The house dates from around 1919 and is ready to live in straight away. Mains water, sewerage, gas and electricity, a gas boiler with radiators, a bathroom with a shower enclosure and a separate WC.

The 2+1 layout: a living room, a bedroom, a kitchenette, a hallway, a bathroom, a separate WC, a storeroom with access to a walkable attic and a small utility room. Beneath the house, a vaulted cellar of fired brick.

The bedroom has been completely renovated — a new floor, new wiring, fresh paint. The living room has a new floor, the house is freshly painted and the bathroom newly regrouted.

The kitchenette and bathroom are older. You may retile them in your own colours one day, but you can shower there already. The pantry is a work in progress, the attic awaits clearing, and nobody knows whether the well in the courtyard still works. The boiler, the wiring and three of the five windows are near the end of their life, but functional. No energy performance certificate is available, so the building is listed in class G. Once the concrete in the courtyard is levelled and the gate repaired, you will drive onto the plot; for now you park in the street, where hardly anyone drives anyway.

None of this needs solving right away. You work with your head all week; here you rest with your hands. One room a year and nobody is rushing you.

Or do nothing at all. In summer a natural swimming pond is a short walk away, wine cellars are all around, and the village has a shop, ice cream, beer festivals and a gardeners' club. Trains run to Brno and to Veselí nad Moravou, Kyjov is a few minutes by car, and Brno is an hour away.

And yet the best thing about a cottage is not the weekends. The best thing is Wednesday afternoon, sitting at work, remembering that you have one.

Come and see it — you will form your own picture.
