In a video by @itscleliat on TikTok, the lady revealed that her sisters and their mum had their flats.
Showing a tour of the house, she said:
“My name is Clelia, and together with my mum and my two older sisters, and their husbands, we bought this old farm because we all wanted to live next to each other. The farm was already divided into four individual houses. So we don’t share rooms and we all have different front doors.”
She showed off her own front door, which was next to her mum’s front door.
“This is me and my husband’s house. Next door is my mum’s front door. Then next to my mum is my middle sister’s house, and next to my middle sister lives my oldest sister.”
Cleliat added that the houses were still undergoing renovation.
