Description
Located on a quiet street, this property is an extremely charming half of a residential farmhouse featuring an atmospheric garden and a shed. One of the key attributes of this home is its life cycle proof design, thanks to the presence of both a bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor, making it accessible and convenient for residents.
The property is situated in Brummen, a pleasant village in the IJssel valley at the foot of the Veluwe. The village is surrounded by beautiful nature reserves, offering a green and serene environment. Brummen boasts complete amenities including a train station, a diverse range of shops, primary schools, and sufficient sports facilities. Its location is central relative to Zutphen, Apeldoorn, and Arnhem, with excellent accessibility to the A1, A12, and A50 motorways, making it a convenient base for commuters and families alike.
Constructed in 1900, this existing build is classified as a single family home and a semi-detached house, also known as a two-under-one-roof dwelling. It features a mixed roof covered with tiles and sits on a plot of 196 square meters. The total volume of the house is 411 cubic meters, with a living area of 96 square meters and an additional 24 square meters of indoor space. The house contains five rooms in total, comprising four bedrooms spread over three residential levels.
The layout of the home is both practical and inviting. The entrance leads to a hall which features a wardrobe and provides access to a spacious storage cellar equipped with a washing machine connection. At the front of the house, the bright living room is situated, featuring a large window that allows for plenty of natural light. In the center of the residence, there is an open staircase leading to the upper floor, adjacent to the kitchen which was renewed in 2024. This modern kitchen is well appointed with an electric AGA stove that includes an oven, a fireplace with an extraction hood, and a fridge-freezer combination. A particular aesthetic highlight is the terrazzo countertop which sits atop a hardstone sink, serving as a beautiful focal point in the room. The kitchen also provides direct access to the garden. The flooring in the living room, kitchen, and the ground floor bedroom consists of beautiful French oak floorboards, adding warmth and character to the interior.
Located at the rear of the ground floor are the bedroom and the bathroom. The bedroom benefits from fixed closet space, offering practical storage solutions. The bathroom is fitted with a washbasin cabinet, a toilet, and a shower. This arrangement on the ground floor significantly contributes to the life cycle proof nature of the property.
The first floor of the property is accessible via the open staircase. It comprises a landing and a hallway featuring fixed closets. There are three additional bedrooms located on this level, providing ample space for a family or guests. The floor also includes a dormer window which adds extra headroom and light. A separate toilet with a washbasin is present on this floor, as is storage space located behind the knee walls. Additionally, there is a loft space, referred to as a vliering, which offers extra storage options. It is important to note that while the ground floor has seen recent renovations, the listing notes that the upper floor specifically requires some attention and investment from the next owner to modernize it to their taste or needs.
The outdoor space of the property is one of its most appealing features. The cozy and sunny garden is located on the side of the house and faces south, ensuring optimal sunlight exposure throughout the day. The garden offers a high degree of privacy and is characterized by its greenery. It features a sheltered terrace, a pond, and fruit trees, creating a serene outdoor environment. At the rear of the garden, there is a stone storage shed which includes a storage attic, useful for gardening tools or bicycles. Parking is convenient and available on the property's own grounds at the front of the house.
Since 2023, substantial investments have been made into the property to improve its condition and livability. These upgrades include the renovation of the bathroom, the installation of the new kitchen, and the addition of a new kitchen door leading to the garden. New windows were installed in both the kitchen and the bedroom, and outdoor sun blinds were added for comfort in the summer months. Other improvements include the installation of infrared panels, the laying of the French oak floor, and the replacement of the gutters.
In terms of technical specifications and facilities, the property is accessible for the elderly and includes outdoor sun blinds, fiber glass cabling, and natural ventilation. The property has an energy label F and features partial double glazing. The heating system is electric, and hot water is provided via an electric boiler. A noteworthy feature is the availability of eighteen certificates from the Coöperatie PCR Zonnig Brummen U.A., specifically Project IJsselruiters, which are available for takeover by the new owner.
The cadastral data identifies the property as BRUMMEN G 4543 with a surface area of 196 square meters under full ownership. The garden is specifically a side garden and sun terrace, measuring 66 square meters with a depth of 11 meters and a width of 6 meters. The garden is situated on the south and includes a stone shed with electricity connection.
This semi-detached house combines the charm of a traditional farmhouse structure with modern updates in key living areas. While it requires some work on the upper floor, it offers a solid foundation and a wonderful location in the friendly village of Brummen.
