Spacious Detached Family Home with Multifunctional Annex in Soest
Key Features
Upsides
- The multifunctional annex building provides exceptional flexibility, being suitable for home working, guest accommodation, care facilities, or professional practice space, all with its own entrance and facilities.
- Extensive sustainability and comfort features include 29 solar panels, full insulation, underfloor heating, air conditioning in both buildings, and recent upgrades to the heating system, bathroom, electrical installation, and exterior paintwork.
- The substantial plot of 780 square metres with a deep 40 metre garden offers privacy and outdoor living space, complemented by practical additions such as the sound system, comprehensive wifi coverage, EV charging point, and the large garage with heated floor.
- The location in Soest combines a residential neighbourhood setting with proximity to nature areas like the Soesterduinen and excellent accessibility to major centres including Utrecht, Amersfoort, and Hilversum.
Downsides
- The garden faces northeast, which means limited direct sunlight in the afternoon and evening, reducing the enjoyment of outdoor space during prime leisure hours.
- There is a contradiction in the listing regarding the roof type, with the features section stating a tile covered hipped roof while the details mention a sprinkler system on a thatched roof, creating uncertainty about actual roof construction and associated maintenance requirements.
- No energy label is available, which may cause uncertainty about the official energy performance rating despite the described sustainability improvements.
- The property was built in 1987, meaning potential buyers should consider the typical maintenance expectations of a building approaching forty years old, even with recent upgrades.
Description
Located on the Beukenlaan in the desirable town of Soest, this detached property offers generous living space combined with a versatile annex building, all set on a substantial plot of 780 square metres. The main residence provides comfortable family living with modern amenities, while the separate outbuilding presents numerous possibilities for home working, guest accommodation, or multi generational living arrangements.
The ground floor of the main house features a welcoming entrance leading to a spacious living room characterised by large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter. A wood burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere to this central living space. The room dimensions provide ample room for a generous seating arrangement. Adjoining the living area is the large kitchen, which has been designed as a true heart of the home. The kitchen includes a cooking island and various built in appliances. Multiple folding doors connect the kitchen directly to the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A gas fireplace in the kitchen adds to the comfortable atmosphere, while air conditioning ensures pleasant temperatures throughout the year. A practical utility room provides additional storage space and convenience. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, contributing to the comfort level.
The first floor accommodates four well proportioned bedrooms, several of which include fitted wardrobe space. Climate control is provided through air conditioning on this level. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2023 and features a modern design with a bathtub, a walk in shower combining sun shower and infrared functionality, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. Additionally, the property includes a practical cellar for extra storage.
A significant feature of this property is the fully equipped annex building, which offers substantial flexibility for various living and working arrangements. The ground floor of the annex has its own entrance and comprises a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom with a separate toilet. This configuration allows the annex to function largely independently from the main house. The upper level of the annex contains an additional spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The annex benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor and air conditioning, making it comfortable to use throughout all seasons. This separate dwelling space is particularly suitable for use as a guest house, accommodation for family members requiring care, or as a professional practice or home office.
Situated at the rear of the plot is a large garage and shed complex with an upper floor and a covered area. The garage floor consists of insulated concrete with underfloor heating, which expands the potential uses of this space considerably. A separate unit within the shed includes toilet and shower facilities. This outbuilding presents ideal accommodation for hobby activities, storage, workshop use, or parking multiple vehicles.
The garden extends to approximately 452 square metres with a depth of 40 metres and a width of 11.30 metres. The outdoor space offers privacy and room for relaxation and outdoor activities. Both the main house and the garden are equipped with an extensive sound system with multiple speakers. The entire property benefits from numerous wifi access points ensuring excellent wireless coverage across the whole site. Parking is available on the premises, including a charging point for electric vehicles.
The property has undergone substantial modernisation and improvement in recent years. Sustainability features include 29 solar panels, HR++ double glazing, and comprehensive insulation to roofs, walls, and floors. The central heating boiler in the main house was replaced in 2023, the bathroom was renovated in 2023, the toilet was renewed in 2024, exterior painting was completed in 2023, and the electrical consumer units were updated in 2025. Security measures include an alarm system and camera surveillance. A sprinkler system is installed on the roof.
Soest is a popular residential location offering a balanced combination of space and excellent accessibility. The immediate vicinity includes schools, shops, sports facilities, and public transport connections. Natural areas such as the Soesterduinen and surrounding woodlands are within easy reach. The central position ensures that nearby towns including Hilversum, Amersfoort, and Utrecht are readily accessible, making this an ideal location for those seeking detached living without sacrificing amenities and connectivity.
The property is offered at 1,250,000 euros with buyer costs applicable. The main residence provides 230 square metres of living space with an additional 7 square metres of other indoor space. External storage amounts to 91 square metres. The building dates from 1987 and features a hipped roof covered with tiles. The total volume of the main structure is 827 cubic metres.
