Characteristic Home with Space and Potential in Rural Kootwijkerbroek

This semi-detached residence, situated on Grote Muntweg in the rural area of Kootwijkerbroek, offers a distinctive living environment with considerable space both inside and out. The property was originally constructed in 1910 using traditional building methods with a stone exterior and a tiled roof. Over the decades, the home has maintained its characteristic appearance while receiving practical updates, including a rear extension added in 1981 that significantly increased the available living area.

The exterior presents an inviting facade with decorative brickwork, shutters, and a notable mansard roof shape that gives the property its warm and authentic character. The roof features both bituminous roofing material and traditional tiles. The total living area measures 196 square meters, while the plot extends to 975 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for various purposes.

The location of this property is particularly noteworthy. Positioned at the edge of Kootwijkerbroek, residents benefit from a rural setting with views over the surrounding farmland towards the Veluweweg, while still having convenient access to village amenities. Shops, schools, churches, and other daily necessities are easily reachable by bicycle, making this an attractive location for those who appreciate countryside living without complete isolation.

A distinctive feature of this property is its internal configuration. While structurally divided into two separate living units, the zoning plan designates the entire property as a single residential dwelling. This arrangement creates interesting possibilities for various living arrangements, whether for a large family, multigenerational living, or a home office setup. The two sections are connected on the first floor, allowing for flexible use of the total space.

Entering through the side entrance of the front section, you arrive in a hallway containing the electrical meter cabinet and a well-maintained toilet with a small sink. From here, the living room at the front of the house is accessible, offering pleasant views over the open fields. The open kitchen in this section is arranged in a practical corner layout and includes built-in appliances such as a dishwasher, ceramic hob, oven, refrigerator, and extractor hood.

This front section also demonstrates age-friendly design with a bedroom and full bathroom located on the ground floor. The bathroom is fully tiled and equipped with a bathtub, shower, washbasin, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. Currently configured as a playroom, this ground floor bedroom provides access to the rear section of the property.

The rear section has its own entrance hall with a separate meter cabinet, leading to a living room featuring a wood-burning stove and a large sliding glass door that connects the interior directly with the garden. This design allows substantial natural light to enter and creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The kitchen in this section has a rural character and is fitted with a gas hob, oven, extractor hood, and refrigerator. A second bathroom in this section contains a washbasin and a bathtub with shower function.

The first floor extends across both sections and is accessible from either side of the property. Here you will find a landing providing access to four bedrooms and a practical laundry and storage room. This upper level arrangement makes the property well-suited for family living, working from home, or creating dedicated hobby spaces. The total accommodation comprises seven rooms, including five bedrooms.

The outdoor areas complement the living spaces effectively. Adjacent to the residence stands a freestanding wooden storage building with a covered veranda, offering a sheltered spot to enjoy the outdoors. The generous garden provides privacy and room for relaxation, with a spacious terrace suitable for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden surrounds the property and offers a safe environment for children to play.

The property is connected to all standard utilities including gas, water, and electricity, as well as the municipal sewerage system. The energy label is rated E, with insulation present in the roof, partially double-glazed windows, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a combination of a central heating boiler (owned by the seller), gas heaters, a wood-burning stove, and partial underfloor heating in the bathrooms.

Several important legal and practical considerations apply to this sale. The adjacent barn is not included in the purchase, though there may be an option to acquire demolition rights allowing the construction of a personal outbuilding on the plot. The seller reserves the right of first refusal. The destination of the plot has changed from agricultural to residential, and a management plan exists that the buyer must agree to follow, particularly regarding the planting scheme.

Agreements will be established regarding neighboring rights of servitude related to the rear barn. The buyer will also acquire a share in the shared driveway access and will have corresponding responsibilities for the maintenance and improvement of this shared access route. Both an asbestos clause and an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement. The transfer deed must be executed at VPVA notary office in Lunteren.

With a total volume of 660 cubic meters and 11 square meters of building-bound outdoor space in addition to the 7 square meters of external storage, this property offers substantial accommodation. The asking price is 695,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,546 euros per square meter of living space. Acceptance of the property is to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.
