Ground floor:
Through the side entrance you enter and immediately feel the charm and rural atmosphere that the house exudes. Throughout the entire home, you encounter typical old elements such as original beams, brick walls, stable windows, a wooden ceiling, farmer's tiles, and wooden doors with Wieringermeer hinges, combined with modern finishing touches. From the hallway with toilet, meter cupboard, and coat closet, you enter a large, bright living space with a living area and open kitchen. There is a large sliding door to the terrace next to the entrance on the side and an open wooden staircase leading up to the upper floor. In the living area at the back of the house, with seating and dining nook, a speckled stone wood stove provides pleasant warmth and the many windows offer a beautiful view of the greenery and garden. With just a small step and through the sliding door in the rear facade, you can easily enter the garden. At the heart of the home lies the open kitchen with an outside door to a terrace on the other side of the house.
On the front side of the house is a cozy living room with atmospheric wooden flooring. The absolute showpiece is the old cast-iron stove with chimney, framed by an original tile tableau that reaches from floor to ceiling. Thanks to the four windows, the space has fine natural light and feels pleasant and homely.
Adjacent to the living room is a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, equipped with a double vanity unit, toilet, design radiator, and a walk-in shower with partial glass wall. The bathroom can also be accessed from the living room.

Floor:
You reach the upper floor via a fixed wooden staircase; this can be secured from ground level with a large hatch. On the spacious landing, 2 roof windows provide plenty of light. There is room for a work area and additional storage space.
Due to the raised floor of the storage at the back, an extra high ceiling could be realized downstairs. A special detail is that part of the partition between downstairs and upstairs is fitted with windows, which ensures additional light and a playful effect. At the front side there is a spacious bedroom with wooden flooring, dormer window, and built-in wardrobes with sliding doors. A nice detail here are the stable windows in the facade.

Garden:
A long driveway lined with laurels leads to the house. The generous and versatile garden surrounding the home offers ample privacy. Terraces, lawns, various trees and shrubs, and several nooks alternate. There is always a nice spot here where you can enjoy peace and quiet, in the sun or in the shade.
At the back of the garden, you have a beautiful panoramic view over the farmland, including your own meadow, extending beyond the garden and a piece of forest. Spread out across the property are various outbuildings. There is a detached wooden garage where part has been partitioned as a garden room/studio with large windows and 2 doors to the outside. A freestanding stone shed with an attached wooden loft, a narrow canopy for wood storage, and a charming stone bakehouse next to the house which can be used as a kind of pantry with white goods connections.
