Detached Family Villa with Guest Accommodation and Unobstructed Views in Gorssel
Key Features
Description
This detached family residence is situated on Joppelaan in the village of Gorssel, offering a combination of spacious living areas, a guest accommodation, and views over the surrounding countryside. The property dates back to 1928 and has undergone significant renovations starting from 2015, resulting in a home that presents in excellent condition due to careful ongoing maintenance.
The ground floor features a welcoming kitchen located at the front of the house. This kitchen is equipped with a peninsula island and built-in appliances, making it a functional space for daily meal preparation and casual dining. The kitchen has corner windows that provide a view of the approach to the property, allowing residents to see visitors or family members arriving. At the rear of the ground floor, the living room offers an unobstructed view over the adjacent fields. In the distance, horses can often be seen grazing, and deer may occasionally be spotted depending on the season and time of day.
The living area at the back of the house has been divided into several distinct zones, creating spaces that can serve different purposes such as television viewing, reading, playing, or simply relaxing. The current layout can easily be adapted to create one large open living space if desired. The entire ground floor has a robust oak floor that accommodates both the current segmented layout and a more open configuration. For heating during the colder months, the property has underfloor heating supplemented by a gas fireplace, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate throughout autumn and winter.
During the warmer seasons, the double French doors at the rear can be opened fully, effectively extending the living space outdoors. The terrace at the back of the house runs the full width of the rear facade. Beyond the terrace, the garden is situated at a lower level and appears to extend deeply into the distance, giving a sense of expansive outdoor space.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a generously proportioned bathroom. The master bedroom is oriented to the south and benefits from views of the natural surroundings. The two additional bedrooms on this floor are located at the front of the property. The bathroom on this level is equipped with a bathtub, a shower enclosure, a toilet, and a washbasin.
The second floor provides two more rooms that offer flexibility in their use. These spaces can serve as storage areas, a home office, a fitness room, or additional bedrooms for guests or family members. The listing notes that the nights in this location are genuinely quiet and dark, and during summer months, birdsong can be heard in the early morning.
A separate outbuilding on the property serves three functions under one roof. It contains a garage suitable for one vehicle, a bicycle or general storage area, and a guest accommodation. The guest quarters could be used to host visiting family and friends, or alternatively could be rented out as bed and breakfast accommodation. The garage would be suitable for storing a classic car or similar vehicle, while the storage space can accommodate sports equipment such as hockey sticks and golf sets.
The garden has been designed with a romantic aesthetic, featuring rose hedges, pergolas, and flower boxes. A large magnolia tree on the property signals the arrival of spring each year. The garden includes a groundwater pump for irrigation purposes. There is ample space within the grounds for a vegetable garden, an orchard, a trampoline, or an outdoor kitchen, with additional room remaining for activities such as playing football or allowing a dog to run freely. From the rear of the property, residents can walk directly into the surrounding natural areas.
The Joppelaan is described as a historically popular road connecting the village of Gorssel with the smaller settlement of Joppe. Daily shopping needs can be met in Gorssel, where a supermarket and traditional specialty shops are available. Museum MORE, located in the area, houses a permanent art collection and hosts regularly changing exhibitions. Primary schools in both Joppe and Gorssel are within cycling distance. The historic Hanseatic cities of Zutphen and Deventer are each approximately six kilometers away. The surrounding area offers forests and extensive floodplains along the IJssel River, providing opportunities for walking and cycling. The A1 motorway, connecting to Amsterdam or Hengelo, can be reached in approximately five minutes by car, with Amsterdam being about an hour's drive away.
The property has a total living area of approximately 197 square meters, with additional indoor space of approximately 53 square meters. The total plot size is 2,235 square meters, consisting of two separate cadastral parcels. The volume of the building is approximately 949 cubic meters. The property has three main living levels plus a cellar space.
The construction consists of cavity brick walls, concrete and wooden floors, and wooden window frames. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles. Both the main house and the guest accommodation are heated by Nefit high-efficiency combination boilers. The property has partial insulation including floor insulation, wall insulation, roof insulation, and double glazing. The energy label is rated as D.
Additional features of the property include an alarm system, skylights, a fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, and a chimney. The garage is a detached stone structure with an attic, electricity, heating, and running water. Parking is available on the property and there is also public parking in the area.
