Built in 1994, the house offers a total living area of 211 square metres, complemented by 35 square metres of additional indoor space and 21 square metres of outdoor attached space. With six bedrooms, this residence provides ample room for a large family or those who require additional space for a home office or hobby room.
The ground floor layout has been designed with future adaptability in mind. Upon entering through the front door, you arrive in the hallway which provides access to a toilet. At the front of the house there is a versatile room that could serve as a ground floor bedroom, home office, or hobby space. This flexibility makes the property suitable for various lifestyle requirements and could accommodate ageing in place if desired.
The living room is positioned to maximise natural light and features a parquet floor with underfloor heating. A gas fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere to the space during the colder months. The room includes sliding doors that open directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living areas.
Adjacent to the living room is the open plan kitchen, which also benefits from sliding doors to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with built in appliances including a refrigerator, a four burner ceramic hob, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher. A utility room provides additional workspace and offers access to the internal garage. The garage features an electric door and has a water connection, making it suitable for various uses beyond just parking.
The first floor is accessed via a spacious landing that includes a walk in closet. From this landing, five bedrooms can be reached. Each bedroom has been fitted with practical knee wall storage spaces, providing valuable storage capacity without compromising on floor space. The bathroom on this floor is fully equipped with a double vanity unit, a toilet, a shower cubicle, and a corner bath. This single bathroom serves all five first floor bedrooms.
The second floor consists of a practical storage attic that can be reached using a pull down ladder. This space is useful for storing seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The outdoor area of the property is particularly noteworthy. The garden faces south, ensuring that it receives sunlight throughout the day during the summer months. A garden that wraps around the property provides multiple outdoor seating areas and different perspectives of the home. The combination of an attached stone garage and a carport offers covered parking for up to two vehicles. There is also a freestanding wooden shed for additional storage.
In terms of construction quality and maintenance, the property benefits from plastic window frames throughout, which require minimal upkeep compared to traditional wooden frames. The house has been fully insulated, contributing to its comfort levels and energy efficiency. The current energy label is C. Heating is provided by a Vaillant gas fired combination boiler, which also supplies the hot water. Supplementary heating comes from the gas fireplace in the living room and the partial underfloor heating on the ground floor.
The property is equipped with various modern conveniences including a mechanical ventilation system, outdoor sun blinds, fibre optic cable connection, and TV cable. The roof is a traditional gable roof covered with tiles.

The village centre is within easy reach and provides access to schools, sports facilities, supermarkets, and other essential amenities. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the nearby Dwingelderveld National Park and the Drents Friesewold nature reserve offer excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and experiencing the natural beauty of the Drenthe landscape.
The asking price for this property is 725000 euros, which translates to approximately 3436 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available and transfer can be negotiated. The cadastral designation is Dwingeloo M 1683, and the property is held in full ownership.
