Picturesque 1886 Townhouse With A Traditional Extension And Enchanting Garden

Bjurfors Beyond presents an authentic and beautifully preserved townhouse in the heart of old Skanor, where period details, natural materials and timeless architecture come together in perfect harmony.

Along Mellangatan, at the centre of historic Skanor, gnarled willow trees line the street, while traditional townhouses stand shoulder to shoulder behind their neatly kept facades. Just 150 metres away, the open landscape of the Flommen Nature Reserve stretches between the celebrated sandy shoreline and the peaceful residential quarters.

Built in 1886, the original brick house presents five multi-paned windows facing the street beneath a black gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal, punctuated by a row of dormer windows. Lavender borders the length of the facade, filling summer evenings with its fragrance, while a white-rendered garden wall, softened by climbing roses, offers glimpses of hornbeam and flowering lilac beyond.

Sheltered from view by the original townhouse, the garden wall and mature planting lies an exceptionally beautiful and varied garden, together with a U-shaped residence offering generous living spaces and up to five bedrooms. A wing of equal scale has been added to the original house, connected through light-filled architectural spaces with large multi-paned glazed sections that sit naturally alongside the historic building. Traditional brick and timber floors extend throughout, complemented by white-rendered walls and lofty panelled ceilings with exposed beams, creating interiors of enduring character and quiet elegance.
