Description

Directly opposite the historical Sint-Gummarus church in Lier, at walking distance from the Market Square, close to nice restaurants, shops and station, with excellent connections to Antwerp and Mechelen, among others.

Here you step inside an impressive piece of historical heritage. A forge stood here in the 17th century. With a lot of colour and architectural daring, the building was eventually given a new purpose as a residence. High-quality concrete plywood materials were used, providing a robust, durable and stylish finish. Concrete plywood not only offers a modern look, but also guarantees longevity and easy maintenance, making the house both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

In the sas with wrought-iron doors, you can conveniently store your bicycles. Beyond this sas: the entrance hall with super-sized storage space and authentic blue stone floors. At the end of this hallway is the handsome bathroom with washbasin, shower, toilet and dressing room. Via the super cool, bright yellow painted staircase you reach the first floor. Two large skylights provide plenty of daylight in the cosy sitting area and open kitchen, equipped with all appliances. In the atmospheric dining area, you are treated to a beautiful view of the church. Spacious bedroom, separate toilet and office space at +2. Cherry on top: the roof terrace, where you enjoy sunshine and privacy - a lovely place to listen to the carillon concerts of St Gummarus church.

The terrace really is the very best place in all of Lier to enjoy the blissful carillon concerts. For Lier epicureans, this is a dream base: walk to the shops, have a terrace at the super cosy market ... Couldn't be better! And if you do want to get out of town, you're at the station in no time and after 15 minutes on the train, you're already in Antwerp.
