Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a spacious layout with five bedrooms spread over three floors, providing ample room for a large family or home office needs.
- It is energy efficient with energy label B, 15 solar panels and full insulation, which ensures lower energy costs and a sustainable living environment.
- The location is excellent, situated in a quiet neighborhood in Bennekom yet close to amenities, the WUR campus, and the Intercity station in Ede-Wageningen.
- The home includes modern comforts such as air conditioning on multiple floors, a recently renovated bathroom from 2019, and a maintenance-free exterior with plastic frames.
Downsides
- The kitchen is separate from the living room, which may not suit buyers looking for a modern open-plan living space.
- Although three garages are available, they are optional and available for purchase at an additional cost, meaning parking or storage is not included in the base listing price.

- There is only one bathroom in the house, which could be a bottleneck for a family with five bedrooms.

The cozy backyard with a stylish veranda makes it a delightful place to enjoy the outdoors. An extra special feature of this property is the possibility to buy one, two or three nearby garages, which is ideal for a hobby car, storage or extra parking space.

The layout of the house is practical and well thought out, starting with the ground floor. You enter through a spacious hall that houses the meter cupboard, a toilet and the staircase to the first floor. Under the stairs there is a practical stair cupboard that provides excellent extra storage space for household items. From the hall, there is access to both the kitchen and the living room, creating a natural flow through the home. The atmospheric living room is equipped with an electric fireplace and air conditioning, providing a cozy atmosphere in the winter and a cool retreat in the summer. The living room offers a fine place to relax and through the sliding doors you have access to the beautifully landscaped garden, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.
The modern kitchen is located separately from the living room, a configuration that appeals to those who like to keep cooking odors contained or enjoy distinct living zones. The kitchen has a direct connection to the garden as well, making it easy to serve meals outside during the summer months. The kitchen space is equipped with various built-in appliances that ensure convenience for any home cook. These include an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, a combi oven and microwave, a hot air oven, a refrigerator, a freezer and a dishwasher. This comprehensive setup means the kitchen is ready for immediate use without the need for further upgrades or appliance purchases.
Moving to the first floor, the property continues to impress with its space and comfort. Via the landing you have access to four spacious bedrooms, all of a pleasant size. One of the bedrooms is equipped with two practical fixed closets, adding valuable storage space for clothing or linens. In addition, the landing features air conditioning, which ensures extra comfort during the warmer days of the year, distributing cool air to the surrounding rooms. The bathroom, which was renovated in 2019, is fully equipped and practically furnished. It features a shower corner, a fixed washbasin with matching furniture, a toilet and a fixed cupboard for toiletries. In addition, the bathroom is equipped with floor heating and is neatly finished, which ensures extra comfort in daily use and adds a touch of luxury to the morning routine.
The second floor of the house offers additional versatile space. Via the fixed staircase you reach the second floor, which hosts the fifth bedroom and utility areas. On the landing you will find a washbasin and the connection for washing equipment, making laundry day convenient without needing to go to the main floor. Furthermore, behind the knee walls there is ample practical storage space available, perfect for storing seasonal items or suitcases. On this floor there is also a spacious fifth bedroom. Thanks to the skylight and the dormer window, there is a lot of natural light entering the room and the headroom is significantly improved. The bedroom is also equipped with two fixed closets and air conditioning, which ensures extra comfort and a practical layout for use as a guest room, study or main bedroom.
The outdoor space of this property is a significant highlight. The beautifully landscaped garden is carefully furnished with lots of greenery and offers a lovely place to enjoy outdoor life throughout the seasons. At the back of the garden is a cozy veranda, providing a shaded spot to sit regardless of the weather. Next to the veranda are the attached garages, which can optionally be purchased with the property. Under the veranda there is ample space for a cozy lounge sofa where you can relax with friends or family and enjoy the lovely summer evenings. In addition, the garden offers ample space for placing a large dining table, so that on beautiful days you can dine outside comfortably and make the most of the long daylight hours.
The location in Bennekom adds considerable value to this home. Bennekom is a beautiful village located in the province of Gelderland and is part of the municipality of Ede. The village has a rich history that dates back to the early Middle Ages and is known for its wooded surroundings, nature and the unique character of the village. There are various monumental buildings and historic buildings to be found, which preserve the old character of the village. Gasthuisbouwing, the street name, is derived from the St. Catarinae Gasthuis in Arnhem, which owned goods in Bennekom for centuries. The property known as Ter Halle, later called the Gasthuisbouwing, was already owned by the hospital in 1329. The church of Bennekom, the Grote Kerk, is an important landmark in the village and is of historical significance, adding to the cultural richness of the area.
For those who love the outdoors, Bennekom is close to the nature area De Hoge Veluwe, making it a perfect base for nature lovers and walkers. The village is surrounded by beautiful forests and heathlands, offering endless opportunities for recreation. It is an ideal place for those looking for the peace and quiet of nature, but at the same time do not want to miss the benefits of a larger city such as Wageningen or Ede. Although Bennekom has retained its charm, it also offers everything a modern village needs. There is a diversity of shops, schools, sports facilities and catering establishments. The community is close-knit and various activities and events are regularly organized that promote social life. Furthermore, you can park for free in the whole village, a rare and convenient feature.
Accessibility is another key advantage of this location. Bennekom is easily accessible by public transport, with the intercity station Ede-Wageningen located just 15 minutes by bike. The exit roads are reachable within no time, making car travel to other parts of the country efficient. The WUR campus is also located a short cycling distance away, making this home particularly attractive for academic staff or students associated with the university. The combination of a quiet residential street with excellent connections to major hubs makes this a prime location for a wide range of buyers.
Technically, the house is in excellent condition and features many modern upgrades. It has energy label B, supported by roof insulation and wall insulation. The windows are made of plastic with HR++ glass, contributing to the energy efficiency and the maintenance-free nature of the exterior. The heating is provided by a Nefit combi boiler from 2016, ensuring reliable hot water and heating. The presence of 15 solar panels allows for significant energy savings. The property has a volume of 391 cubic meters and sits on a plot of 163 square meters. The external storage space totals 60 square meters. These specifications underscore the solid construction and thoughtful maintenance of the property over the years.
In summary, this terraced house in Bennekom offers a rare combination of space, modern comfort and a prime location. With five bedrooms, three floors of living space and a beautifully landscaped garden, it caters perfectly to families or those needing a home office. The option to purchase additional garages adds a layer of flexibility rarely found in terraced housing. The energy efficient features, including the solar panels and insulation, ensure low monthly costs and a reduced carbon footprint. The proximity to the WUR, the train station and the natural beauty of the Gelderse Vallei makes this a highly desirable place to live. This property represents a turnkey opportunity to settle in one of the most charming villages in the region.
