Spacious semi-detached home with large garden in peaceful green setting

This semi-detached home is located at Het Wansink 22 in the village of Epse, situated in the municipality of Gorssel within the province of Gelderland. The postal code is 7214 AG. Epse offers a residential setting with the convenience of nearby Deventer, providing a balance between a quiet living environment and access to urban amenities.

The property was originally built in 1968 and features a distinctive playful architectural design characteristic of that era. In 2008, a significant extension was added to the rear of the home, expanding the usable living space and creating additional flexibility in how the ground floor can be arranged. The heating system was updated in 2009 with the installation of a hot air heating system. The total living area measures approximately 136 square meters, while the overall volume of the building is around 480 cubic meters. The home sits on a generous plot of 489 square meters, which is considered a notable feature of this property.

Upon entering the home through the covered entrance, you are welcomed into a hall that features an original marble crushed stone floor, which adds character to the space. The hall provides access to a storage closet for provisions and leads to the rest of the ground floor accommodations. A toilet room is situated off the hall, fitted with a wall-mounted toilet and a small sink.

The living room is designed as a through-room, allowing natural light to enter from both the front and rear of the home. A wood-burning stove serves as a focal point and supplemental heating source during colder months. At the rear of the living room, double sliding doors open to the garden, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The open kitchen is adjacent to the living area and is equipped with a gas cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, freezer, and oven. While the kitchen is functional, it offers the potential for modernization according to personal preferences.

The 2008 extension at the rear of the property has been configured as a utility room and office space, though this layout offers considerable flexibility. The utility room contains a fixed cabinet, a skylight for natural light, and a closet with connections for a washing machine. Notably, this space also has pre-installed connections for a toilet and shower, which means it could potentially be converted into a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom facilities. This feature makes the home suitable for those who prefer single-level living or who anticipate mobility considerations in the future. The office section of this extension has French doors opening to the garden and includes a sink.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the hall and features three bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms include built-in closets, providing practical storage space. All three bedrooms have access to a balcony that runs the full width of the home at both the front and rear elevations. The full-width balconies are a distinctive architectural element of this 1968 property and offer pleasant outdoor spaces on the upper level. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a vanity unit with sink. A separate toilet room with a built-in closet is also located on the first floor.

The energy performance of the home is rated with label C. Insulation measures include double glazing throughout, along with partial insulation of the roof, walls, and floor. Hot water is partially provided through a solar boiler system, which contributes to reduced energy consumption. The home has mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air circulation.

The outdoor space is a significant attribute of this property. The garden is oriented to the southwest, allowing for extended periods of sunlight throughout the afternoon and into the evening. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with multiple distinct seating areas, providing variety in how the outdoor space can be enjoyed. A raised seating pit adds a unique feature to the garden design. A pond is also present in the garden. A terrace directly adjacent to the home offers a convenient spot for outdoor dining or relaxation.

The front and side of the property benefit from unobstructed views of green space and a playground located across the street, contributing to an open and spacious feeling around the home. This view is particularly valued as it provides a sense of space that is not always found in residential neighborhoods.

Two free-standing wooden sheds are located on the property. One of these has been set up specifically for bicycle storage, while the other serves as general storage space. An own driveway provides on-site parking, which is a practical convenience. The listing notes that while there is currently no garage, the construction of one would be possible given the size and configuration of the plot.

The property is described as being accessible for people with physical limitations and for elderly residents, which aligns with the potential for ground-floor living that the extension provides.

The home is being offered with a listed asking price of 490,000 euros, which is a buyer cost, meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees associated with the purchase are additional expenses for the buyer. At the listed living area of 136 square meters, this equates to approximately 3,603 euros per square meter. The property is available immediately subject to mutual agreement regarding the transfer date. The home is currently furnished, though the extent and nature of the furnishings would need to be discussed as part of the purchase negotiations.

The surrounding area of Epse is characterized by its green and wooded environment. The location is described as being at the edge of a forest and near a park, while still being situated on a quiet road. This combination of natural surroundings and residential tranquility appeals to families with children, given the proximity of the playground, as well as to those seeking a peaceful living environment with access to nature. The nearby city of Deventer provides a full range of urban amenities including shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and transportation connections.

This property presents itself as a versatile family home that can adapt to various living requirements over time, from a traditional family configuration to single-level occupancy. The combination of the spacious plot, the flexible ground floor arrangement, and the pleasant location near Deventer forms the core appeal of this offering.
