I need help with purchasing a property

I think we are going to strike

Definitely a big thank you to you again. I am now approaching the matter with a good feeling.

That is the most important thing.

Sure, some requirements are not our dream, but we can live well with them.

With a clinker allergy, one would probably have to avoid Münsterland on a large scale, but there are worse things. And a development plan that certainly protects you from canned ravioli - uh, "Tuscany" villas - I praise as a true blessing. Hey, architecture, do you do it with extra cheese, you know?

I didn’t even know that there are city villas with gable roofs....

The city villa of the Imperial to Weimar period often had a classic (or even mansard) hipped roof and otherwise has literally “nothing to do” with the current KfW cubes of the same name with their tent roofs (= hipped roof without ridge). Gables were and are rather found on the portal than on the sides, so gable roofs rather not. Another common feature is two full stories.

What would “bother” me is that the garage has to be placed perpendicular to the ridge direction.

You can forget the double garage in your mind. It would then have to go into the building area.

Exactly. As a double garage, a gable roof would probably also be conceivable, also in the appropriate ridge direction (if it is classically square). However, where it costs house width, I would omit the enclosure of the second car.

Do you know that body of water there? From mosquito infestation to a stinky pond in summer, everything is possible, especially if there is industry around – I would be extremely cautious. From a distance, I wouldn’t claim at all that those are prime spots. Casper already mentioned the macro location; for me, it wouldn’t be anything, but I don’t know the surroundings or the chances for something else/better either.
