Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a practical and inviting hallway that leads you directly into the heart of the home. The living room on the ground floor is a highlight, featuring a light filled atmosphere that instantly creates a sense of warmth and welcome. Large windows ensure that natural light floods the space, accentuating the feeling of openness. A sliding glass door connects the living area seamlessly to the garden, not only providing a lovely view but also facilitating easy access to outdoor relaxation. For the cooler months, the room is equipped with a gas fireplace that serves as a cozy focal point, adding both warmth and ambiance to the living space. This makes the living room an ideal spot for family gatherings or quiet evenings of relaxation.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which is designed to be both functional and comfortable. It offers plenty of room for preparing meals and features a practical layout that includes various modern conveniences. The kitchen space is large enough to accommodate a dining table, making it a social hub where the family can come together to enjoy meals and share stories about their day. From the kitchen, you have access to a utility room, which serves as a valuable extension of the household management space. This utility room is equipped with connections for a washing machine and dryer, providing a dedicated area for laundry chores away from the main living areas. Additionally, it offers abundant storage space for daily necessities and supplies. A direct door from the utility room leads to the garden, making it convenient to hang out laundry or access the outdoors while working in the kitchen.
Moving to the first floor, the layout continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly notable, featuring its own private balcony. This outdoor space offers a pleasant view of the garden and provides a quiet retreat to enjoy a morning coffee or to unwind in the evening sun. The remaining two bedrooms on this floor are versatile and can easily serve as childrens rooms, a guest room, or a study. The bathroom on this level is fully functional and includes a shower, a vanity unit with a sink, and a toilet. This arrangement ensures that the daily routines of the household are efficiently managed without the need to constantly go up and down the stairs.
The second floor of the home reveals a delightful surprise with three additional bedrooms. This brings the total count of sleeping quarters to six, a rare and valuable feature that sets this property apart. The upper floor offers exceptional flexibility for its use. These rooms can be transformed to suit a wide variety of needs. Families with multiple children will appreciate the ability to give everyone their own private space. For those who work from home, one or more of these rooms can serve as a quiet office space. Hobbyists will find ample room to set up a workshop, studio, or exercise area. Furthermore, these rooms are perfect for accommodating visiting friends or family members, ensuring that guests have a comfortable place to stay. The presence of so many rooms allows the home to adapt to changing life circumstances over the years.
Outside, the property continues to offer significant amenities. The garden is a true outdoor sanctuary where residents can enjoy privacy and tranquility. Located at the rear of the house, the garden features a terrace that is perfectly positioned for enjoying long summer evenings, hosting barbecues, or simply soaking up the sun. The garden is landscaped with a lawn and green borders, creating a maintained and pleasant appearance that requires a manageable amount of upkeep. A side entrance ensures that you can access the garden from the front of the property without needing to go through the house, adding to the convenience of the layout.
Parking and storage are well catered for with the inclusion of a garage and a private driveway. The garage is attached to the house and features an electric door for ease of use. Inside the garage, there is a loft storage area, providing excellent space for storing seasonal items, bicycles, gardening tools, or outdoor furniture. Having a private driveway means you can park your car safely on your own property, a luxury that is highly sought after in residential areas. The combination of the garage and the attic space ensures that clutter is kept out of the main living areas, contributing to a tidy and organized home.
In terms of technical specifications and energy efficiency, the home is equipped with several modern features. The roof is covered with tiles and the property has been insulated to improve comfort, including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Double glazing is installed throughout to further enhance thermal efficiency and reduce noise. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically an Intergas HRE model from 2024. This is a gas-fired combi-boast with an A energy label and a pump, indicating high efficiency and reliability. Additionally, the home is fitted with ten solar panels, which help to reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. The property has an energy label C, reflecting these improvements. Other practical features include mechanical ventilation, sun blinds on the exterior, and skylights that illuminate the upper floors.
The location in Sommelsdijk offers the best of both worlds. It is situated in a green and quiet residential area, providing a safe and peaceful environment for families. Despite the tranquil setting, the home is not isolated. Daily amenities are within easy reach, ensuring that groceries, schools, and other services are accessible.
