 Here you have it in abundance! The old post office is located near Minden.  For the last 23 years I have possessed this historically, formatively and functionally valuable building arrangement.

 I took everything over in a very desolate condition and since then have constantly been renovating it until it reached its current appearance.  Because I am an architect, renovating old buildings while paying attention to their original structure and form has been a hobby of mine.

 For the last many years this building has been my hobby and I renovated it with care, while adding modern elements.  Innumerable individual, loving details mark the overall appearance.

 Certainly the reorganization is not finished entirely (with such a big project the way to the final goal is much more important), however I am planning to change my own professional aims to a new location and project where I can express myself during the next few years. The building is a former post office with room for horses.

 It was also once used as a restaurant and as overnight accommodations.  It is located in an important, historic post way which once led from England to Holland and Hannover.

 Kings have historically spent the night in this house. The main building was reconstructed after a big fire in 1822 in its current size.

 Almost invariably its original, interesting structure has survived and it has been a protected monument for many years. There is also a 2-story warehouse building in the rear part of the property.

 It was spared from the fire of that time and was built in the year 1750.  This building is also a protected monument.

 A 1400 square meter property with a very well formed garden, high trees and a small pond offers the frame for the ensemble. The object description: The main building: It was established in a half-timbered manner with 2 full floors and an enormous attic.

 The measurements are approx. 13,50 x 23,50 meters.

 Each floor has approx. 300 square meters of surface area available.

 In accordance with the historic use there were never stables in the house, but rather exclusive rooms.  Approx.

22 big and small rooms exist and are distributed on both floors.  A big hall is located on both floors and the rooms are arranged around it.

In the ground floor there is a smaller workshop area and a completed volume unit with approx. 120 square meters of surface.

 I have used them as an office.  A kitchen and bath exist as well.

 This area could also be used as an apartment.  Additionally in the ground floor there are 3 rooms that have not yet been developed.

 There are plans to develop this area as a small guest house.  The basic installation exists for this.

 There is also an impressive staircase which is still intact.  The historic stair arrangement stretches from the ground floor to the attic.

 The stairs as well as the big hallway are covered with historic sandstone plates. There are 2 separated cellar rooms that are dry and could be used.

 A small, massive stable cultivation from 1900 was converted to a laundry room and outdoor toilet.  Here everything is prepared for the installation of a sauna area.

In 1st upper floor there is a big housing unit with approx. 270 square meters of floor space.

 The 67 square meter hallway with its original wide, wooden floorboards and an additional 67 square meter living room determine the symmetry of the design.  The room is transparent in all directions, making the amount of light an attraction of the house.

 The other rooms are rather small and serve as bedrooms, children's and guest rooms.  An excessive bath with a very cozy character provides opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation.

 Everything is planned on the 1st upper floor (2nd Amer.) so that one could create an additional 2 housing units with little expenditure.

 This would be distributed over the approx. 130 square meters.

The separated installation are prepared. The enormous attic space is still unused.

 A studio would be possible here of more than approx. 300 square meters, but also naturally other living rooms are also possible.

Substance / condition: The main building has been redeveloped from the core.  - Defective framework was renewed, all thresholds in the ground floor were insulated with dividing shifts against arising humidity.

- The roof is new. - Almost all windows were replaced with white painted wooden window fixtures with real shutters and insulating glazing for the purposes of protecting the monument.

- All installations have been renewed: all sewage pipes are new, various heating cycles with separate pumps, new electrical equipment with separated main circuit and underground distributions.  Everything is laid out so that rooms can be converted for different purposes very easily.

 Also for a development in the attic, public connection lines exist for waste water, water, heating, electricity and telephone.  Rainwater is also used.

- The floor coverings were old wide wooden floorboards, so newer floorboards have been installed, some of which with artistically formed, abstract paintings. - The bath has an extra large, heatable tub, an individually manufactured whole glass shower, special sink arrangements and is considered a living bath area, not just a ' sterile bathroom unit '.

 - The kitchen is complete with high-quality brand kitchen appliances (Siemens, etc).  A lot of attention was paid to detail there and there is a lot of high-grade steel.

 The kitchen can be taken over upon request.  - All walls are decorated with high-quality painter's fleece and have three coats of paint.

 This creates a velvety, warm surface and determines the feeling of these rooms. - Modern steel glass construction separates the housing unit from the open staircase.

- There is a drop lift behind the house on the small terrace which can provide service all the way up to the attic.  Altogether the apartment in the 1st upper floor is obtainable immediately.

 The front office tract in the ground floor is finished except it still needs some paint as well as floor coverings.  The workshop area and laundry room can also be redeveloped and are fully usable.

The warehouse in the garden: The 2-story framework warehouse has a base of approx. 6,00 x 12,00 meters.

 Approx. 150 square meters of floor space are possible here, including the attic.

 The atmosphere is different than that of the main house.  Security, intimacy, visible framework - a very cute living space could be built here.

 A slanted roof offers the possibility of under-roof storage for a car, for wood, or simply as a covered seat.  A terrace in the 1st upper floor (2nd Amer.

) is accessible from the living room.  A quiet location is in the rear garden.

 From here there is a view of the adjacent fields which would make living here and absolute pleasure.  Substance / condition: The warehouse was redeveloped from the core, but the interior renovations have not yet been carried out.

 - The foundations are renewed.  In the visible area there is beautiful stone brick-work which serves as a support for the thresholds.

- The old loam insulation was could be saved replastered.  Necessary repairs were produced with clay brick.

- The roof is new with old, historic straw thatching.  It was designed to remain as original as possible.

 Below this roofing is a closed under-roof which has thermal insulation that is already installed.  The old roof framework is therefore completely visible on the inside!  - The windows are manufactured traditionally from oak!  They have real shutters, insulating glazing and historic fittings.

- The installation has not yet taken place, but for development, main lines exist for waste water, water, electricity and telephone.  - All outer walls are already insulated from the inside and walled from behind.

The warehouse still requires the distributing installations, the wall plaster as well as sanitation work and carpentry work.  The floor coverings were installed some years ago with thick oak trunks which were stored in order to be dried.

 Using these, a durable oak floor can be installed with partial 40 cm wide planks.  This is very faithful to the original design.

Some work is still required.  A skillful, do-it-yourself enthusiast could carry out most of these renovations, since the basic essentials have already been taken care of.

 In the surrounding locality there are also many good craftsman's firms who know this house well already and could carry out many of the renovations while caring for the building as a monument.  I have already developed all remaining details and plans as an architect for the purposes of renovating the whole arrangement.

These plans can be taken over immediately and used. Use: As a prospective customer you most certainly have your own ideas for the utilization of such a big arrangement.

 Otherwise you would not look for it.  For myself, I had the following plans for utilization:  1.

The ground floor would be an architect's office.  It can be used for renting out as well.

 It has its own entrance from the street.  It includes a small guest house and a workshop area.

2. In the 1st upper floor (2nd Amer.

) there is a large house with a lot of freedom for movement.  In the attic there is a studio with more than 300 square meters.

 With ceilings of 7,50 m, this is a room for creativity in all areas. 3.

The warehouse building in the garden should serve either as a guesthouse or be rented permanently to friends.  140 square meters on 3 levels also offer a lot of room here.

 4. The addition with laundry and sauna serves as a community area.

What is still possible? - separate housing units for an extended family. - self-employed person could work from home (large living area and working area in a representative house).

- Living / life partnerships. Altogether there are 3-5 independent unities that can be used separately: office area, guest house, 1-2 main apartments in the upper floor, warehouse building.

Everything is possible in this arrangement.  What ideas do you have? Room layout- listing of the most important rooms and unities: Office in the ground floor, approx.

120 square meters: 22 square meters of commercial space, 22 square meters of commercial space, 31 square meters of hall / reception area, 18 square meters of kitchen, 13 square meters of archives, 5 square meters of WC / shower, 12 square meters of storeroom, 10 square meters pantry storage. Possible guest area of approx.

42 square meters: 3 rooms. Work room with 42 square meters: 3 rooms.

Central hall with 50 square meters. Laundry with WC, 20 square meters Possible sauna area of 20 square meters Apartment in the upper floor: approx.

270 square meters.  This includes 67 square meters of living room, 67 square meters of living hall,  18 square meters of kitchen, 22 square meters of bath, 5 other rooms of 10 to 18 square meters.

Attic is not yet converted and inlcudes 300 square meters of surface area with a ceiling height of 7,50 and windows. Warehouse building with approx.

150 square meters: 35 square meters of kitchen/living room, 62 square meters of living room, 12 square meters of entrance hall, 4 square meters shower / WC, 4 square meters of storage space, 20 square meter bedroom, 20 square meter bedroom, 6 square meter bath. The location: The old post office is in Strassendorf in the southwest corner of Lower Saxony.

 One can feel completely secluded in the inner court, but still be in the center of town, surrounded by nice people and an active life, although it is a rural atmosphere with a lot of natural surroundings. Everything imaginable is nearby in the town.

 There is open space, fresh air to breathe, and seclusion within the 4 walls of the property.  Living and working under one roof is a reality here because there is so much space.

 And if you wish to open up the property to more than just your own use, you can profit the infrastructure in the neighborhood.  In the neighborhood there are a few houses, a small food shop for daily needs and a butcher.

 Within 2 kilometers there is a neighboring town where a well-developed infrastructure exists and is hardly considered a rural area.  It contains 3 doctors, 2 pharmacies, a shopping center, a pharmacist, a shoe store and textile shop, church, baker, crafts enterprises, bus stops, nursery school, an elementary school and high school, and a lot of restaurants (German, Greek, Italian).

 But in the vicinity there are no lawyers and soon there will be no architects..

.  The next big city of Minden has outstanding shopping facilities and is approx.

20 kms away.  There are also smaller cities in the surroundings like Espelkamp (12 kms) and Rahden (8 kms).

Sales: The house is redeveloped in all essential areas.  Certainly there are still some renovations to be carried out, but you are definitely not starting from square one.

 There are sewer connections already existing.  The roof must be mended in places.

 You can move in immediately and start making your dream a reality while actually living in the object.  80 is finished and a remaining 20 is necessary financially.

 There are no more surprises for you in this old building substance.  You also get the potential to implement your own ideas and use your creativity.

 A lot can be designed according to your tastes and your needs.  Perhaps you want to try to save money like I did, 23 years ago, and want to do all the work yourself.

 Or maybe you want to hire the local firms to carry out the renovations.  I can also offer you assistance as an architect and supervise the remaining developments for you according to your wishes.

 Nobody knows the house better than me.  What about the purchase price?  I would like to demonstrate to you openly how the price was determined, so that you can get a picture about the fair price for you and for me.

 The property has about 1.400 square meters of surface.

 The local square meter price is set at about 25, - Euro.  Property value: 1.

400 square meters x 23, - Euro = 35.000, - Euro.

Those who know the way to estimate costs of construction know that the value of a building can be determined, among other things, with the ' cubic meter of altered space'.  I have considered the different stages of development and quality of construction.

 I have also added an element of depreciation because of the object's age. The main house in the ground floor: 1.

050 cbm x 100, - Eur = 105.000, - Eur.

 The main house: 1st upper floor (2nd Amer.): 950 cbm x 210, - Eur = 199.

500, - Eur.  Main house: attic: 1.

200 cbm x 40, - Eur = 48.000, - Eur.

Addition: 200 cbm x 100, - Eur = 20.000, - Eur.

Warehouse: 500 cbm x 140, - Eur = 70.000, - Eur.

Building value altogether is therefore: 442.500, - Eur.

Together with the property price this is: 442.500, - + 35.

000, - Eur = 477.500, - Eur.

But one can not value such a historic building arrangement just like a small single-family dwelling in the modern estate.  Trade-in value, worth arrangement, rentability, and other usage possibilities follow other criteria.

 On the one hand there are not many similar objects on the market.  On the other hand, the interested parties for such an object are certainly much smaller.

 I have no pressure of time and also no financial necessity for the sales of the object.  But, when one wants to make a change in one's life, one must not let it wait too long.

 This is something I must consider, and would be willing to take up to a 'loss' of 30, which I accept readily, seeing as how I had so many years of joy in this house.  The purchase price would therefore be:  477.

500, - Eur abzgl. 30 = 334.

250, - Eur. To catch your attention, because there is such a multiplicity of offers online, I have actually reduced this price one more time by about 10, making the price approx.

309.500, - Eur.

 This sum is strictly determined as a minimum purchase price!!!  I have done this with the quiet hope that I will get several prospective customers who will make propositions in my favor.  This means the price of 309.

500, - Eur is a beginning negotiation point, but the price may only be negoatiated upwards from here.  I really believe that this is a fair offer with a lot of possibilities for utilization.

There is still another payoff: the appreciation conditions of this object will only go up.  Also, one can acquire are great house in good condition at an excellent price.

 If you yourself are interested, you are definitely an old house enthusiast, like me.  Even if you are simply curious - call, come by and get an impression.

 I would be glad to see you and coffee is waiting for you.
