A 1915 Swedish Country House Overlooking Lake Fraggen

Built in 1915, this red timber house near Norberg sits above Lake Fraggen, with views across the water and many of its original features still intact. Timber floors, panelled doors and traditional wooden windows remain, alongside several tiled stoves and the original wood-burning range in the kitchen, which is still in working order.

Later changes to the house include an architect-designed renovation, while two glazed verandas provide a closer connection between the interiors, garden and surrounding landscape. Upstairs, a wood-burning stove adds another fireplace to the main living space.

The setting is one of the property’s defining features. The house occupies an elevated and largely undisturbed position within an old rural village, overlooking the lake and surrounded by the wooded landscape of this part of central Sweden. Swimming and boat access on Lake Fraggen are within walking distance.

The grounds are a mix of garden and natural land, with several outbuildings providing useful additional space. These include a garage with a workshop, a separate wood and garden store, and a greenhouse.

Norberg lies in northern Västmanland, an area of forests, lakes and small rural communities. Its history is closely tied to mining and iron production, and traces of that past can still be found throughout the surrounding landscape and villages. Fragg itself is an established rural community, with woodland and countryside directly on its doorstep.

• Those looking for a rural base close to water and nature, with lake views, surrounding woodland and swimming and boating within walking distance.
