Ground floor layout:
Behind the authentic front door with eight-pane fanlight, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone with its exposed beam ceiling. From here, the study/bedroom in the raised front room, the living room and the staircase to the first floor are accessed.
The raised front room is currently used as a study but can easily serve as an additional bedroom. It features a built-in cupboard and a tilt-and-turn window with glazing bars, offering uninterrupted views across the orchard opposite.
The living room is a bright and comfortable space with solid oak flooring and a Janus wood-burning stove as its focal point. Generous windows provide a pleasant influx of natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. The living room connects directly to the kitchen.
The farmhouse kitchen is a true living space and central gathering point within the home. Designed in a calm, timeless corner layout with sleek white cabinetry, it is equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including a Quooker tap providing both boiling and sparkling water. A bespoke built-in bench beneath the window forms a distinctive and practical feature.
Large windows ensure an abundance of natural light and views of the side garden, while there is ample space for a generous dining table. From the kitchen, both the spacious cellar and the side entrance are accessible.
The side entrance, finished with oak flooring, forms a practical connection to the garden on both the east and west sides. From here, the rear section of the house and the cloakroom are reached.
The rear section offers considerable flexibility and is currently arranged as a music room, but is equally suited for working from home, a studio or hobby space. French doors with glazing bars open directly onto the south-facing garden and adjoining pasture. This space also features oak flooring. Adjacent is a practical utility room with laundry connections.
Underfloor heating serves as the primary heating system in the kitchen, side entrance, bathroom and rear section.
First floor layout:
The first floor is divided into two sections, each with its own staircase, creating a playful and functional layout.
The staircase from the main hall leads to two bedrooms in the front section, both of a comfortable size with exposed roof structures adding character.
The second staircase, accessed via the side entrance, leads to the landing at the rear of the house. Here is the principal bedroom, positioned beneath the characteristic Betuwe overhang — historically used for hoisting hay. The former hay hatch has been replaced with glazed doors, offering views of the terrace and garden.
A walk-in wardrobe adjoins the principal bedroom. The landing also provides access to a separate toilet fitted with an AquaClean wash-and-dry system.
The bathroom, connecting the front and rear sections, is finished in a contemporary style and features a freestanding bath, a walk-in rain shower with sunshower, and a double vanity unit. Underfloor heating is installed here as well, and large roof windows provide excellent natural light.
This floor also offers extensive storage, including several storage rooms and a separate plant room.
Particulars:
The farmhouse has been carefully renovated and well maintained over the years, with various energy-saving measures implemented. These include double glazing, 50 solar panels and a 35.8 kWh home battery system with emergency power supply.
The level of finish is consistent with the character of the property, featuring solid wood panelled doors, hardwood window frames with shutters and glazing bars. In the utility room, the original stable windows have been fitted with double glazing. These authentic elements are combined with contemporary comfort, including a renewed and insulated roof structure, largely plastered and insulated walls and ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom.
The interior and exterior paintwork — with the exterior very recently completed — is in excellent condition.
Heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating system (Nefit Excellent Ecoline HR, 2004).
Several outbuildings are present on the plot, completing the ensemble. The former bakehouse (approx. 25 m²) is currently used as a goat shelter with storage. The large timber-clad barn of 105 m² offers ample opportunities for hobbies, storage or housing equipment. Above, there is a hay loft.
The home battery is neatly housed in an insulated cabinet within the barn, and beneath the carport an electric vehicle charging point is installed.
The gardens and surrounding land enhance the outdoor lifestyle on offer. In addition to the heated swimming pool, there is a kitchen garden and an orchard. The adjoining pasture makes the keeping of livestock or horses entirely feasible.
Altogether, this is a compelling property for those seeking to combine rural living with space, versatility and good accessibility.
