Unique Converted Church Residence at the Water's Edge

This remarkable property located at Botersloot 10-A in the village of Noordeloos presents a rare opportunity to reside in a converted church building with direct waterfront access. The building originally dates back to 1895 and has been thoughtfully transformed into a spacious family home while retaining much of its original character and architectural features.

The property offers a total living area of 207 square meters situated on a plot of 390 square meters. The building volume measures 1,147 cubic meters, providing an impressive sense of space throughout. Additionally there is 25 square meters of other indoor space and 6 square meters of external storage facilities.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall housing the meter cupboard and a guest toilet. From this hallway, access is provided to the first bedroom which features an exceptionally high ceiling, a characteristic element inherited from the original church structure. The second and third bedrooms on this level each include a fixed staircase leading to a sleeping loft, creating versatile spaces that could serve various purposes depending on the needs of the occupants.

A well-appointed bathroom on the ground floor is fitted with a walk-in shower and a vanity unit. The hallway leads to the generously proportioned living room situated on a raised level. This elevated position creates an intimate atmosphere with multiple seating areas arranged to take advantage of the space. A fireplace provides warmth and ambiance during colder months, and this hearth can function as a mother hearth system. Built-in cabinet space offers practical storage solutions.

An open staircase connects the living area to the upper floor. Positioned at the rear of the property, the living kitchen serves as a true focal point of the home. The kitchen is equipped with a cooking island and a wall arrangement featuring high-quality built-in appliances. The appliance package includes an oven, steam oven, combination microwave, coffee machine, refrigerator, and freezer. This configuration makes the kitchen suitable for both everyday cooking and entertaining guests.

Between the living area and the kitchen, a separate toilet, the central heating room, and the meter cupboard are conveniently located. A utility room with washing machine connections provides additional practical functionality. From the kitchen, opening doors lead directly to the garden and the attached stone storage building which includes a loft space for additional storage.

The first floor has been designed as a private retreat. The master bedroom on this level features air conditioning for climate control during warm summer months. Walk-in closets on both sides of the bedroom provide ample wardrobe space. This bedroom has an open connection to a luxurious bathroom fitted with a bathtub, shower, and toilet. The gallery or mezzanine level currently serves as a home office space and offers views down into the living room below, reinforcing the open character of the property.

A large attic space spans the entire upper floor and provides substantial storage capacity. Additionally, there is storage space located beneath the raised living room area, making efficient use of the split-level design.

The outdoor areas of the property are equally noteworthy. A wooden deck surrounds the house, allowing residents to find a pleasant spot for relaxation at any time of day while enjoying the tranquil views of the water and passing boats. The garden wraps around the property, and a wooden garden house at the front provides yet another storage option. Parking is available on the property for one vehicle, and an electric vehicle charging station is present and available for transfer to the new owner.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property carries an E energy label. The windows feature HR+ glass in the frames, while the authentic church windows have secondary glazing installed. Built-in fly screens and sun-blocking screens are present on the exterior. Heating is provided by a gas-fired Atag combination boiler installed in 2014, supplemented by the wood-burning fireplace.
