Key Features
Description
Located in the countryside area of Barlo, near the town of Aalten in the province of Gelderland, this detached farmhouse is situated on a substantial plot of approximately 8,160 square meters. The property is positioned at a short distance from the village center, providing convenient access to daily amenities while maintaining the peaceful character of a rural setting.
The residence was originally constructed in 1922 and has a total living area of 216 square meters. The interior volume measures 809 cubic meters, indicating generous room heights and spacious proportions throughout the building. The property has been awarded an energy label C, which reflects a moderate level of energy efficiency. Heating is provided by a gas-fired Nefit Topleveline combination boiler that was installed in 2008 and is included in the sale.
The ground floor layout comprises an entrance hall with a toilet, a office room, a living room featuring a decorative fireplace and a seating area, a half-open kitchen, a dining room, an additional living room, a bathroom equipped with a bathtub, toilet, and washbasin, a utility room, and two storage spaces. This arrangement offers considerable flexibility in how the ground floor spaces can be utilized, whether for formal and informal living areas, home office use, or other purposes that suit the preferences of future owners.
The first floor is accessed via a landing and contains three bedrooms, one of which includes built-in closets. A second bathroom is located on this level, fitted with a bathtub, washbasin, walk-in shower, and toilet. Additionally, there is an attic storage space on this floor for additional storage needs.
Beyond the main residence, the property includes several outbuildings that add significant practical value. These consist of a workshop and a barn structure. These auxiliary buildings are well suited for individuals with hobbies requiring dedicated workspace, those who operate a business from home, or enthusiasts of vehicles such as cars and motorcycles who need covered storage and working areas. The outbuildings also provide ample general storage capacity.
The exterior of the property features a garden that surrounds the house on all sides. The total plot size of over 8,000 square meters offers numerous possibilities for outdoor activities and pursuits. The land could accommodate animal enclosures for hobby livestock, vegetable gardening areas, or open play space for children. The rural location ensures a sense of privacy and connection to the natural surroundings, with unobstructed views across the countryside.
Parking is available on the property's own grounds, providing convenient and secure vehicle storage for residents and visitors.
The roof construction is a gable roof covered with clay tiles, which is a traditional and durable roofing solution commonly found on Dutch farmhouses of this era.
The property is being offered with an asking price of 675,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transaction costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 3,125 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance date and terms are subject to mutual agreement between the buyer and seller.
As is customary for properties of this age, an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement. This clause acknowledges that older buildings may have characteristics and potential issues that differ from modern construction standards, and the buyer accepts the property in its current condition with this understanding.
Financial security for the transaction will be provided either through a bank guarantee issued by a recognized banking institution or a deposit into the notary's third-party account, both amounting to ten percent of the agreed purchase price.
The cadastral registration shows that the property consists of three separate parcels, all held in full ownership. These parcels are registered under Aalten N 616 with an area of 2,490 square meters, Aalten N 101 with an area of 1,270 square meters, and Aalten N 617 with an area of 4,400 square meters. Together, these parcels form the complete 8,160 square meter property.
Ventilation in the property is provided through natural means, and a chimney flue is present, consistent with the fireplace in the living room. The property has two full bathroom levels, each containing bathtub facilities, toilets, and washbasins, in addition to the walk-in shower on the first floor.
The classification of this property as a residential farmhouse (woonboerderij) reflects both its historical origins and its current configuration. While the building now serves primarily as a residence, the presence of substantial outbuildings and the large land area maintain the connection to its agricultural heritage and provide functionality that extends beyond typical residential use.
The location in the scattered settlements area (verspreide huizen) of Barlo places the property in a distinctly rural setting while remaining connected to the infrastructure and services of the nearby town of Aalten. This combination of rural character and accessible amenities is a defining feature of the property's appeal.
The overall impression is of a property that offers substantial space both inside and outside the main building, with practical outbuildings that extend the usable area considerably. The 1922 construction date places the building in a historical context, and potential buyers should appreciate the character and proportions that come with buildings of this period while understanding the maintenance considerations that apply to older structures.
