The Linseed Story

Clad in wood with bespoke, hand-crafted windows and a green Swedish steel roof, this home is the epitome of a Danish summer house. It’s modern and spacious inside, with corridors filled with sunlight against the wooden walls. Days can be spent at the beach, 100 metres away – Ordrupt Strand is a long sweep of uninterrupted sand. Around the home, woodland hikes allow you to reconnect with nature, and the small town has a handful of restaurants and a supermarket for stocking up on supplies. For such a rural area, there are a surprising number of Michelin-starred establishments around, the closest is Dragsholm Castle, a fifteen-minute drive away. The summer house is surrounded by trees for a bit of privacy, so you can barbecue in the yard and gather around the fire pit at night in complete seclusion. There’s also an outdoor shower to wash sandy feet on return from Ordrupt Strand. Inside, the dining area is flooded with sunlight thanks to a wall of tall windows. Here, you’ve got enough room for ten people to dine easily. The little seating area with wicker chairs and a sofa is set around a wood-burning stove for that hygge vibe. Bedrooms are wood-clad and cabin-cosy, spread between two buildings. Home truths: *Each of the double beds has one side against a wall and the bedrooms are quite snug in general *Two of the bedrooms have loft areas with beds accessed by a ladder *The home is split between two buildings and the second building does not have a full bathroom, only a WC *There is only one full bathroom between five bedrooms (but there is an extra WC and an outdoor shower) *There is private parking here for those that would like to bring a car *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
