Key Features
Description
Located at Meikade 16-E in the village of Ede, this attractive semi-detached house offers a wonderful combination of rural living with convenient access to local amenities. Built in 1960, the property has been thoughtfully modernized over the years while retaining its authentic character, creating a comfortable and contemporary living environment.
The house presents a living area of 102 square meters situated on a generous plot of 488 square meters. The layout is practical and well-considered, comprising five rooms including four bedrooms, making it suitable for families or those requiring additional space for home office arrangements. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall that provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor, the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and the main living area.
The L-shaped living room is positioned at the front of the property and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Character features include a wood-burning stove that serves as a focal point during cooler months, authentic beam ceilings that add depth and character to the space, and walls that have been finished with a clean and modern aesthetic. A built-in storage wall provides practical storage solutions while maintaining the room's tidy appearance. Natural light enters through the windows overlooking the front garden and surrounding countryside.
Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen has been designed with both functionality and style in mind. Positioned at the rear of the property, the kitchen features a practical corner arrangement with integrated appliances including an induction cooktop equipped with a wok burner, an extractor hood, a combination oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher.

A utility room accessed from the kitchen offers additional practical storage through a fitted cupboard wall and provides access to the garden, the bathroom facilities, and an optional extra bedroom or workroom on the ground floor. This flexibility makes the property suitable for various life stages and household configurations.
The modern bathroom on the ground floor has been fully tiled and equipped with essential amenities including a shower bath combination, a double vanity unit with dual sinks, and a toilet. The presence of bathroom facilities on the ground floor contributes to the property's accessibility and potential for single-floor living if required.
At the rear of the property, an additional room currently serves as a home office or study space. This room offers versatility and could alternatively function as a guest bedroom, hobby room, or any other purpose that suits the owner's needs.
The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase leading to a landing that provides access to four individual rooms. The master bedroom at the rear of the property includes fitted wardrobe storage, while an adjacent bedroom also benefits from practical built-in storage solutions. A third room is positioned at the front of the house, and a useful storage room completes the floor layout. A loft space accessible from the landing provides additional storage capacity. Throughout the first floor, wall-to-wall carpeting has been installed.
The outdoor spaces surrounding the property deserve particular attention. The garden has been thoughtfully designed and professionally landscaped, offering a delightful combination of greenery, open space, and privacy. The garden wraps around the property and is orientated to the east, allowing residents to enjoy morning sunlight and shade during afternoon hours. Features include a spacious terrace suitable for outdoor dining and relaxation, multiple seating areas strategically positioned throughout the garden, planted borders with a variety of greenery, and a substantial lawn area that is ideal for children or pets to play. An attractive wooden veranda provides a covered outdoor space perfect for enjoying summer evenings with family and friends regardless of weather conditions.
A wooden garden shed provides external storage for tools, equipment, and outdoor furniture, while a detached stone garage offers parking space for one vehicle and includes its own loft area. The garage interior was recently renovated and offers excellent storage potential for bicycles, gardening equipment, and seasonal items. The garage is equipped with electrical connections.
The driveway provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles on the property itself, eliminating concerns about street parking. A recently renewed garden gate completes the well-maintained exterior appearance.
Practical improvements include a partial underfloor heating system installed in the extension area, contributing to comfort during winter months. The property is equipped with solar panels that help reduce energy costs and support environmental sustainability. The central heating system consists of a Remeha combination boiler fired by natural gas, installed in 2018 and owned outright by the current owner.
Energy performance has been carefully considered throughout the property. The house holds an energy label B classification, which reflects the improvements made to insulation and the installation of sustainable energy solutions. Full insulation has been applied throughout the property, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced heating costs. Natural ventilation is provided through the window design, and a smoke duct is installed for the wood-burning stove.
The location offers an appealing balance between rural tranquility and practical convenience. The property sits in the countryside while remaining within easy reach of the daily amenities offered by the nearby villages of Ederveen, Veenendaal, and Ede. Local schools, shops, healthcare facilities, and public transport connections are all readily accessible. The surrounding agricultural landscape provides opportunities for countryside walks and cycling directly from the doorstep.
The property is presented in move-in ready condition and is available by mutual agreement. The asking price reflects the quality of the property, its improved energy performance, the generous plot size, and the desirable location in the Ede area.
This residence represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a family home that combines modern comfort with authentic character, outdoor space, and practical storage solutions, all within a pleasant rural setting that remains well-connected to urban conveniences.
