Tielrode: idyllically restored shipyard

This former shipyard 'De Durme' from 1910 is nestled in a magnificent, photogenic river landscape that is often used as an impressive backdrop for film and photography. Just a few steps from the front door you have the beautiful chapel, a little further you can take the ferry for a short crossing. The site has been upgraded since 1991 with respect for its special history. On a double plot of approximately 3,000 m², this house offers a beautiful living area of almost 730 m². The whole consists of a number of buildings along the street side where the conciergerie and offices used to be housed and where the various living areas are now located. On the first floor there are a number of period rooms, including a luxurious guesthouse. Adjacent to the front houses, at the back you will find the former carpentry workshop (9 by 21 meters) and warehouses on two levels, with its beautiful open spaces under an original, historic industrial roof truss. Through the large, repetitive windows you can look out onto the charming 17th century chapel of Tielrode and its gardens. Unique because of its beauty. To the right of these buildings there is the wide entrance gate which leads us via the former unloading area (now car parking spaces) to the former dry docks which have now been transformed into a lush garden with a wide variety of fruit trees. Partly covered terraces are located along the beautiful dividing wall with the church garden. The whole is also closed at the back with a second entrance gate. The building complex lends itself to many applications, ranging from a purely residential character to a mixed living/working combination.
