Characterful Country House with Spacious Garden in Green Setting Near Goes
Key Features
Upsides
- Large private plot of 1,266 square meters with a beautifully maintained garden surrounding the property, offering multiple terraces and a high degree of privacy.
- Versatile ground floor layout with two additional rooms that can serve as home office, library, or guest bedroom, providing flexibility for various living and working arrangements.
- Atmospheric living spaces with character features including a wooden beamed ceiling, travertine flooring, and a wood burning stove included in the sale.
- Potential opportunity to rent an additional approximately 5,000 square meters of municipal meadow land behind the property, subject to conditions and municipal approval.
- Quiet green location at the edge of Goes with views of nature, despite proximity to the business park.
Downsides
- The property is located on a business park with a zoning designation of Bedrijvigheid (Business Activity) rather than residential, which creates significant uncertainty regarding permitted use, may complicate mortgage financing, and could affect future saleability.
- The combination of energy label C, a boiler from 2008, and a garage without insulation indicates that the property will likely require energy efficiency improvements in the future.
- Direct adjacency to a business park may result in noise, increased traffic, or visual disturbance that conflicts with the desired rural living experience.
- Discrepancy in the listing between stating four bedrooms in the description but five bedrooms in the features section creates confusion about the actual sleeping accommodation available.
- The property dates from 1979, meaning it is not a historic building despite the country house styling, and certain systems and finishes may be approaching the end of their useful life.
Description
This detached country house, built in 1979, is situated on a generous plot of 1,266 square meters of private land at the edge of Goes. The property presents an interesting combination of rural charm and practical living space, with a total living area of approximately 159 square meters spread over two floors. The house is positioned with one side bordering the business park De Poel 3, while the rear and eastern sides face directly onto the green and tranquil outskirts of the town.
Upon arrival, the property immediately conveys character through its facade featuring shutters and wooden details. The front garden is well maintained and provides space for parking on the premises. The entrance hall gives access to a toilet, the staircase, and the main living areas.
The living room is spacious and atmospheric, finished with travertine floor tiles and a wooden beamed ceiling. A distinctive fireplace with a wood burning stove serves as a focal point, and this stove is included in the sale. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to enter and provide views of the surrounding greenery. French doors open directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, which forms a natural link between the living room and the kitchen. This space offers ample room for a large dining table, making it suitable for family meals or entertaining guests.
The country style kitchen continues the warm aesthetic of the property with its classic color scheme and traditional details. It is equipped with various built in appliances and provides plenty of cabinet space and work surface area. From the kitchen, a utility room is accessible, containing additional storage space and laundry facilities.
On the ground floor, two additional rooms are present. These spaces offer flexibility and could serve as a home office, library, hobby room, or even as extra bedrooms for guests. This layout provides options for those who work from home or require versatile living arrangements.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom, with the possibility to create a fourth bedroom if desired. The bedrooms are light and feature characteristic roof lines that add architectural interest. The main bedroom includes a built in closet wall for convenient storage.
The bathroom is neatly tiled and practically arranged with a bathtub, a separate shower cubicle, a double vanity unit, and a second toilet. A dormer window ensures ample daylight and natural ventilation in this space.
The garden surrounds the property and complements the rural character of the house. At the rear, a large lawn is bordered by planted beds, trees, and multiple terraces that allow residents to enjoy both sunny and shaded spots throughout the day. The front garden is equally well maintained.
A detached stone outbuilding with a storage attic is present on the property, suitable for storing bicycles, gardening equipment, and other items. The features section also mentions a detached wooden storage building and a free standing stone garage with capacity for one car, equipped with electricity but without insulation.
According to municipal information, there may be a possibility under certain conditions to rent a meadow of approximately 5,000 square meters located behind the property from the municipality. Interested parties are advised to contact the municipality of Goes directly regarding this matter.
The property has an energy label C and features roof insulation, wall insulation, and secondary glazing. Heating is provided by a Remeha gas fired combination boiler from 2008, which is owned, supplemented by the wood burning stove and partial underfloor heating. Hot water is supplied by the same boiler. The property also has solar panels, natural ventilation, a chimney flue, and a TV cable connection.
It is important to note that this property is officially located on a business park and has a zoning designation of Bedrijvigheid (Business Activity). Specific zoning regulations apply to the use of the property. Any potential uses must be coordinated with the municipality of Goes. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to thoroughly inform themselves about the applicable zoning rules, usage possibilities, and financing options before proceeding. This zoning situation is a significant consideration that affects both the current residential use and any future plans for the property.
The asking price is 745,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,686 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is to be agreed upon. The cadastre reference is GOES K 294, with full ownership of the 1,266 square meter plot.
This country house at Jenny Weijermanweg 26 offers a distinctive living environment that combines character, space, and a quiet green setting with the practical reality of being adjacent to a business park. The property presents an unusual opportunity for those seeking a detached home with ample outdoor space and potential flexible use, provided that the zoning considerations are carefully evaluated and addressed with the relevant authorities.
