Spacious and energy-efficient semi-detached family home with sunny garden in Zutphen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A combined with a heat pump and renewed energy system from 2015, resulting in very low running costs.
- Fully insulated construction with HR++ glazing and underfloor heating on the ground floor, with optional floor cooling for summer comfort.
- Four full-sized bedrooms across three floors, with a large attic space offering flexibility for a home office, guest room, or hobby area.
- Southwest-facing garden of approximately 126 m² with a pond, sprinkler system connected to a private groundwater well, and a wooden storage shed.
- Built-in garage with electricity, heating, and running water, plus additional parking on private property.
Downsides
- Only one full bathroom for a four-bedroom house, which may create bottlenecks during busy mornings for larger families.
- The garden orientation is southwest, which in the Netherlands can mean reduced sunlight during the afternoon in winter months compared to a south-facing orientation.
- Some inconsistencies between the Dutch description and the features section regarding the year of construction and garden orientation introduce minor uncertainty about exact specifications.
- The property has been described with a wood stove as a heating source, which requires ongoing maintenance and supply of firewood, adding to the running costs and effort.
- No lift or accessible entrance is mentioned, making the property potentially less suitable for residents with reduced mobility given the three floors.
Description
This modern and surprisingly spacious semi-detached house stands in a quiet, child-friendly residential area in Zutphen, offering excellent proximity to schools, a playground, and the centre of both Zutphen and Brummen.
The property was constructed around 2008 and has been well-maintained, with the energy system renewed in 2015. The house carries an A energy label, reflecting its fully insulated construction and HR++ glazing throughout. The ground floor features underfloor heating, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate, with the added benefit of optional floor cooling during the summer months. A wood-burning stove provides additional warmth and ambiance on the ground floor, while a heat pump supports the overall heating system.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a hall with a meter cupboard and a toilet with a wall-mounted closet. The ground floor flows into a generous and bright living room with French doors opening to the garden, fitted with countryside-style shutters, a practical storage staircase cupboard, and underfloor heating. The living room has been extended, creating additional living space. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and has also been extended, equipped with a range of built-in appliances including a Neff dishwasher, induction hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, and freezer. From the hall, a indoor utility room and storage area is accessible, complete with connections for washing machines, cold water supply, and electric underfloor heating.
The first floor comprises a landing leading to a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, double vanity unit, toilet, and underfloor heating. The master bedroom is spacious and features a walk-in wardrobe. There is also a generous second bedroom on this floor.
The second floor offers a large attic space divided into two full-sized rooms, each with ample storage behind knee walls and in built-in wardrobes. These rooms are well-suited for use as bedrooms, a home office, or guest accommodation. The technical installation, an Inventum Energion system, is also located on this floor.
The rear garden faces southwest, measuring approximately 10.27 metres deep and 12.26 metres wide, totalling around 126 m². The garden is beautifully landscaped, featuring a pond and a low-maintenance design. A sprinkler system connected to a private groundwater well keeps the garden well-maintained. A wooden shed with electricity provides additional storage. Exterior painting was carried out in 2020 to 2021, and the gutters on the lower roof sections have been recently renewed.
An integral garage accommodates one car and is equipped with electricity, heating, and running water. Parking is available on the private property as well as on public roads in the area.
The property sits on a plot of 319 m² with a total floor area of 164 m² and a volume of 639 m³. It comprises 5 rooms, including 4 bedrooms, along with one bathroom and a separate toilet. The property is fully owned with no encumbrances and is available by agreement.
