Description The Sea Glass Collector: Asserbo

This sleek Danish home is a vision of glass, shimmering just a clear at the Roskilde Fjord whose banks it sits on. It’s in a secluded spot by the fjord’s shore, but a five-minute drive sees you at the small town of Ølsted where you’ll find a shop for groceries, a handful of restaurants and a train station that can whisk you into Copenhagen in an hour.

Sitting on the wooden deck, you can admire the serenity of the fjord from a deckchair, or enjoy a meal outdoors. A wall of glass lets the fjord view continue inside where the open-plan living, kitchen and dining room is flooded with natural light during the day. Exposed lightbulbs glowing above the dining table, lightwood floors and ink-black accents give that distinctly Scandinavian zen feel to the decor and let the view be the centre of attention. Those travelling with kids will appreciate the table tennis room and vast lawn where they can run off their energy.

Home truths:
*The garden is not enclosed and the fjord is just at the bottom of the lawn, so children should be supervised outside
*The closest grocery shop is 2km away so having a car is recommended
*There is plenty of private parking with this home
*Bedroom three has three single beds and bedroom four has a set of bunk beds and a single so these rooms may be best suited to children sharing
