Description
A well maintained detached residence from the late 1930s sits on the edge of the historic village centre of Vleuten. The property occupies a plot of approximately 550 square metres and offers a living area of about 160 square metres. The house has been updated over recent years to meet modern standards while preserving many original characteristics. The most recent upgrades include a new thatched roof installed in 2023, a full replacement of the windows with high performance double glazed units in 2024, and the installation of twelve solar panels that contribute to an energy label of A. The heating system consists of a high efficiency combination boiler installed in 2016, and the property also benefits from a pellet stove in the main living room. An air conditioning unit has been added to the ground floor bedroom for additional comfort.
The exterior presents a classic Dutch silhouette with a steep pitched roof covered in thatch. The façade is finished in a light colour that highlights the visible wooden beams that run across the upper level. The front of the house features a generous driveway that leads to a side entrance. Parking space is provided on the private grounds for several vehicles and a charging point for electric cars is available on one side of the driveway. A small outbuilding at the front of the property houses a secure bike shelter that can accommodate up to four bicycles.
Entering the home, a spacious hallway opens onto the main living areas. To the left, a large living room benefits from floor to ceiling glazing that frames views of the surrounding fields and the nearby watercourse. A pellet stove adds a warm ambience during cooler months. The room is sized to allow a flexible arrangement of seating and entertainment furniture. Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen forms the central hub of daily life. The kitchen is equipped with a large island, modern built‑in appliances, and ample countertop space. Sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor‑outdoor flow that is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen also provides access to a practical utility room with its own external entrance, making it suitable for laundry tasks and additional storage.
On the ground floor, a spacious bedroom enjoys direct access to an en‑suite bathroom. The bedroom features a freestanding bathtub that is positioned beneath a high ceiling, creating a sense of luxury. The bathroom includes a walk‑in shower, a separate toilet, and a contemporary vanity. The presence of an en‑suite on the main level makes the home well suited for owners who prefer single level living or who may require accessibility considerations.
A set of stairs leads to the first floor where two further bedrooms are located. Both rooms retain the original high ceiling with exposed wooden beams, providing a warm and airy atmosphere. Natural light filters through sizable windows, ensuring each room feels bright throughout the day. One of the bedrooms includes a small vanity unit for added convenience. A second family bathroom serves the upper level and offers a shower, a toilet and a sink. Beneath the stairwell, additional storage space has been created, providing useful extra capacity for seasonal items.
The rear garden is a highlight of the property. It is laid out with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants that create a pleasant landscape throughout the year. The garden slopes gently toward the Vleutense Wetering, a waterway that adds a sense of tranquility and privacy. A large terrace with a pergola extends from the kitchen area, offering ample room for a dining table, lounge furniture or a summer barbecue. The orientation of the garden to the south ensures a sunny setting for most of the day, while the surrounding vegetation offers shaded spots for relaxation.
Below the main house, a functional cellar provides additional storage space. The cellar can be used for wine storage, a hobby workshop or general household supplies. Its location beneath the property keeps the temperature stable, which is advantageous for items that benefit from a cool environment.
The location of the home combines rural charm with convenient access to urban amenities. Vleuten is a small village that forms part of the municipality of Utrecht. Within walking distance, residents will find a selection of shops, a supermarket, restaurants, schools and childcare facilities. The historic centre of Utrecht is reachable by bike in roughly twenty minutes, making the city centre easily accessible for work or leisure. Public transport is well served by the nearby Vleuten railway station, which provides regular connections to the wider region. Major motorways, the A12 and A2, are only a few minutes' drive away, allowing straightforward travel to other parts of the country.
Recreational opportunities are abundant in the surrounding area. The Vleutense Wetering offers a peaceful water setting for walking or cycling along its banks. Nearby historic sites such as Kasteel de Haar, the Golf Club De Haar and the Haarrijnse Plas provide cultural and leisure options. The village itself retains a friendly, community oriented atmosphere, which is valued by families and individuals seeking a quieter lifestyle.
In summary, this property presents a well balanced combination of historic character, modern comfort and sustainable features. The generous internal layout, the presence of a ground floor bedroom with private bath, the extensive garden with water views, and the strong energy performance all contribute to a compelling offering. The proximity to schools, shops, transport links and major roads adds practical advantages. Potential owners will appreciate the thoughtful renovations, the quality of the finishes such as the oak parquet flooring throughout, and the ability to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living spaces. The house is ready for immediate occupation, with the possibility to arrange handover dates that suit the buyer. The listing indicates a price of €1,095,000, which reflects the size, condition and location of the property.
