Property description
Historic farmstead in the outlying area of Essel-Engehausen, situated on the former Blankenburg castle site and protected as a listed building and archaeological monument. The complex consists of a 1901 single-family residential house in masonry construction, two guest houses and agricultural outbuildings such as a workshop, barn and wood store, complemented by around 4.5 hectares of grassland, arable land and forest area.
The residential house offers a living area of about 380 m², the two guest houses an additional roughly 165 m² and 67 m². According to the appraiser's assessment, the buildings are used by the owner themselves; no tenancy arrangements could be established.
The structural condition varies: while the residential house and wood store were classified as average, the remaining buildings show a maintenance backlog with deferred upkeep on external components, damaged windows and a partially damaged roof structure on the barn. The listed-building protection (Denkmalschutz) as well as the location in the outlying area additionally restrict structural interventions and increase maintenance expenditure.
