Historic thatched farmhouse with monument status in Buiteplaats Hooghstede
Hoofdkenmerken
Beschrijving
This exceptional property represents the final opportunity to acquire a residence of this particular type within the Buitenplaats Hooghstede development. The property takes the form of a thatched gentleman farmhouse, known in Dutch as a rietgedekte herenboerderij, which forms part of a larger national monument complex dating back to 1887.
The architectural character of the building is immediately striking from the street. The monumental front house displays a distinctly rural and dignified appearance, setting it apart from conventional residential properties. Upon entering, residents are welcomed into a generously proportioned living area characterized by impressive ceiling heights that create a sense of openness and grandeur throughout the main floor.
A notable feature of the ground floor is the staircase that leads to what the listing describes as the opkamer, which has been thoughtfully redesigned for modern living. By 2026, this space will function as a spacious kitchen, perfectly suited for those who appreciate both cooking and entertaining in a generous environment.
The first floor accommodates four spacious rooms alongside a complete bathroom facility, offering comfortable accommodation for families seeking multiple bedrooms. This configuration ensures that residents can enjoy the full measure of spacious living that characterizes the property and embraces the essence of countryside comfort.
A significant advantage of this property stems from its protected monument status. As an integral component of the Rijksmonument Buitenplaats Hooghstede from 1887, the residence qualifies for valuable subsidy programs. The Woonhuissubsidie Rijksmonumenten covers 38 percent of eligible maintenance and preservation costs, providing substantial financial support for ongoing property care. Additionally, the property aligns with the ISDE subsidy scheme for sustainable energy, acknowledging investments in environmentally responsible energy solutions.
The Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed reviewed and positively assessed the maintenance cost estimates in March 2026, further establishing the legitimacy of these subsidy arrangements. Approved subsidy amounts are documented on the project website, offering transparency regarding available financial benefits.
Practical amenities include a dedicated storage facility and covered parking within the traditional barn structure. Beyond this, residents benefit from two additional private parking spaces situated on the broader Buitenplaats grounds, addressing parking requirements comprehensively.
The plot encompasses approximately 550 square meters according to the property description, while official cadastral records indicate 676 square meters. This discrepancy may warrant clarification with the developer or municipality. Regardless, the outdoor space provides meaningful grounds for the property.
Modern specifications include an A+++ energy rating reflecting the installation of a heat pump for heating purposes. This combination of historic character and contemporary energy efficiency represents a thoughtful approach to sustainable living within a protected architectural context.
The property offers approximately 222 square meters of living space across its configuration of seven rooms, including four bedrooms. The bathroom facility features a shower, bathtub, and washbasin as standard fixtures.
With construction completed in 2026, this new-build residence offers the best of both worlds: the charm and prestige of historic architecture within a monument complex, alongside modern construction standards, superior insulation, and energy-efficient systems. The property will be delivered complete and ready for occupation as a new construction project.
This represents the conclusive opportunity to secure this distinctive property type within the established Buitenplaats Hooghstede community.
