Renovated Half Farmhouse with Spacious Garden and Countryside Views

Located in the scenic countryside between Barchem and Lochem, this characterful half of a double farmhouse known as Lansink dates back to 1865. The property sits on a generous plot of 2,267 square metres and offers a high degree of privacy with views across the typical coulisse landscape that characterises this region of the Netherlands. The surrounding area is known for its varied landscape with hedgerows, small woods, and open fields creating a peaceful and picturesque setting.

The farmhouse underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2011, during which the former rear section was carefully transformed into a comfortable family home. The renovation successfully combined authentic period elements with modern living standards. Large windows, multiple skylights, and patio doors throughout the property ensure an abundance of natural light and create a strong connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding greenery.

Upon entering through the side entrance, you arrive in a hallway that provides access to the toilet facilities, the meter cupboard, and both the living and sleeping areas on the ground floor. The living room faces the garden and is a bright, pleasant space featuring a cosy reading or work corner. Above this area, a gallery has been created where the original hayloft was once located, adding visual interest and a sense of volume to the room. A Bullerjan wood burner serves as a focal point in the living area, set on a characteristic tile floor that references the agricultural heritage of the building.

The open plan kitchen connects seamlessly to the living room and is fully equipped with built in appliances including a four burner gas hob, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. Double doors from both the living room and kitchen provide direct access to the garden, making indoor outdoor living a natural part of daily life during the warmer months.

A practical half basement is accessible from the ground floor, housing the central heating boiler installation, a pantry storage area, and connections for laundry appliances. This arrangement keeps utility functions neatly tucked away from the main living spaces.

The ground floor also contains a spacious bedroom with a loft space above that can serve as an additional sleeping area. Adjacent to this bedroom is a well proportioned bathroom fitted with a bath, shower, toilet, washbasin vanity unit, and a heated towel rail. The listing notes that this bedroom and bathroom combination would lend itself well to use as a bed and breakfast accommodation, should the new owners wish to explore that possibility.

The first floor is reached via a staircase with a landing that provides access to three generously sized bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms feature washbasins and built in wardrobes, offering practical storage solutions. Additionally, there is a separate workspace on this floor that would be ideal for those who work from home or need a dedicated hobby room. A second bathroom on this floor is equipped with a walk in shower, a third toilet, a washbasin with wall mounted cabinet, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating for added comfort.

The second floor is accessible via a pull down ladder and consists of a spacious attic storage area, providing ample room for storing seasonal items and belongings.

The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully arranged to complement the property. Upon arrival at the property, there is a wide driveway with a small roundabout feature and sufficient parking space for multiple vehicles. An electric vehicle charging point has been installed for those with electric or plug in hybrid cars. A field gate opens to the deep garden which faces east and south east, wrapping around three sides of the house. This orientation ensures that there are sunny spots available at different times of the day, as well as shaded areas for when the sun is at its strongest.

A particular feature of the outdoor area is a detached garden house that has been converted into a comfortable chill room, complete with its own wood burner and toilet facilities. This space would be appreciated by families with teenage children or anyone who enjoys having a separate retreat away from the main house. Attached to this garden house is a canopy for bicycle storage and a closed shed that functions as a workshop.

The location strikes a balance between the freedom of rural living and the convenience of having amenities nearby. From the property, it is possible to walk directly to the Lochemse Berg and the Kaleberg, both popular destinations offering extensive walking and cycling routes through the varied coulisse landscape. The village of Barchem is close by and provides essential facilities including a primary school, a general practitioner, various sports facilities, a bus stop, and a selection of shops. The larger town of Lochem is approximately four kilometres away and offers a wider range of services and amenities.

In terms of technical specifications, the property has achieved an energy label A rating, reflecting the insulation and efficiency measures incorporated during the 2011 renovation. The insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a gas fired Remeha combination boiler that was installed in 2024 and is owned by the current proprietors. Supplementary heating comes from the Bullerjan wood burner in the living room. Underfloor heating has been installed on the ground floor and in the first floor bathroom. The property is connected to a fibre optic cable for high speed internet access and features a mechanical ventilation system.

The total living area measures 177 square metres, with an additional 7 square metres of internal other space and 42 square metres of external storage. The total volume of the building is 651 cubic metres. The property is offered with full freehold ownership and the acceptance terms are to be negotiated.

This farmhouse represents a combination of historical character and contemporary comfort in a location that offers both tranquillity and accessibility. The generous plot size, the quality of the renovation, and the thoughtful arrangement of both indoor and outdoor spaces make this a distinctive property in the local market.
