Home sweet home

Our house is located in the south part of Gotland at very central of the Hemse. The house was built 1926 by Henning Svensson ,a famous fotograf during the time. He, his father( painter) and his son Lasse Svensson , have left a lot footprints on the house which should be considered as a culture heritage. It is not only the house which is very special and the garden too. There are a lot of special places in the south part of Gotland like Rauk and beach area Holmhällar, just for one example. The space The house and garden is quite big, it is very suitable for a big family with three or five children. Pets like dogs are welcome too. The backyard provides a place for children or dogs to play and run around. The garden is separated by pump house and espalier, the host and our guest share the garden but still have their own space. We need to work in the garden and take care of vegetables and flowers on the side our guests live. There is free parking in front of the house or inside the gate. The house offers generous space and the garden has a lot of privacy and the gate prevents children or dogs from running away. There is room for parking for both car and bicycle. The garden is separated by the pump house and trellis, which means that the host and guests have their own space, but since the garden needs to be constantly cared for and watered, guests should be aware that we work in the garden on the annex side where guests live.
