A cottage in Nedanchychi
Дача в Неданчичі

November 26, 2020

While researching routes for the northern segment of my proposed Train Around Ukraine project I came across a cottage (dacha?) for sale in the village of Nedanchychi (Неданчичі).

Nedanchychi is a small village with a population of just over ¹700 inhabitants. It’s close to the east bank of ²Dnieper river, the Chernobyl exclusion zone and the border with Belarus, so much of interest.

Anyway, the cottage is somewhere in or around the village (no exact location given) and a veritable bargain at £2,500 (98,000 грн)!

Here’s what I’d get for my money:

The cottage

The roof looks a bit iffy but that’s a mere detail, the rest is lovely.

Inside

Oh but that oven, that fire, it all looks so cozy, I can imagine baking bread and sitting back with a book and a glass of ³Horilka.

Outside

Plenty of space for some chickens and a goat⁴, there’s even a handy shed.

Local station

And there’s a train to Chernihiv and Kyiv, what more do you want?
