Renovated 1925 Farmhouse with Double Garage and Garden Room

Located on Middendam number 12 in the village of Alphen, part of the municipality of West Maas en Waal, this residential farmhouse dates back to 1925. Over the years, the property has been largely renovated and rebuilt to create a comfortable family home while preserving many of its original characteristic elements. These include stained glass windows, old wall anchors, en suite sliding doors, and a traditional raised living area known as an opkamer. The farmhouse is situated in a central location within the pleasant Maasdorp Alphen and can be reached via both the Middendam and the Heuvelstraat. The property is also well suited for practicing a home based profession.

The living area of the house measures 212 square meters, while the total plot size is nearly 1200 square meters. The building has a volume of 791 cubic meters and features a gabled roof covered with tiles. The property has been awarded an energy label D, reflecting the improvements made to insulation including roof insulation, wall insulation, and double glazing. The ground floor benefits from HR+ glazing, while the upper floor has standard double glazing. Solar panels have also been installed to reduce energy consumption.

Entering through the front of the house, you arrive in a spacious hall with a vide, which is an open space extending to the upper floor. The entrance contains a toilet and provides access to the living room and kitchen area, a master bedroom, and a bathroom on the ground floor. The living room is spacious and bright, with windows finished at the top with stained glass. Patio doors open onto the terrace, effectively making the garden an extension of the living space. A notable feature is the presence of beautiful en suite sliding doors that allow part of the room to be separated off. From this section, access to the cellar is available. The sitting area contains a Dik Geurts wood burning stove for additional warmth and ambiance. The opkamer, a characteristic feature of traditional Dutch farmhouses, has been furnished as a comfortable seating area but could alternatively be used for other purposes depending on the needs of the new owner.

The kitchen is connected to the sitting area and is generously proportioned. A skylight ensures pleasant natural daylight enters the space. Beneath the current laminate flooring, the original tiles are still present. These could be revealed relatively easily if desired, restoring an authentic element of the farmhouse. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a utility room with a practical back entrance and connections for white goods appliances.

On the ground floor at the rear of the property, a large bedroom is located. Next to this bedroom is a bathroom that is generous in its dimensions. This bathroom is equipped with a wash basin, a shower, and a bubble bath for relaxation.

A renewed staircase in the entrance leads to the first floor, which features the vide overlooking the hall below. The landing provides access to a modern bathroom, three bedrooms, and a separate toilet. Storage space is available along the entire width of the ridge of the roof. The second bathroom was realized in 2020 and features a modern finish with a shower, a double wash basin, and a toilet, making it fully equipped to start the day fresh.

The outdoor space is a significant feature of this property. The plot of almost 1200 square meters completely surrounds the house, creating a sense of living within the garden even when indoors. This layout contributes to the feeling of tranquility, freedom, and privacy that the property offers. The garden has been attractively laid out with various terraces paved with baked clinkers, allowing you to find a spot in either sun or shade on a sunny day. A wooden garden house is present on the property. In 2022, a beautiful garden room combined with a veranda was added. With the fireplace lit, this space allows you to enjoy outdoor living well into the late hours.

The detached garage is a substantial structure featuring double opening doors. The garage includes a storage loft and is equipped with electricity, heating, and running water, making it an excellent space for pursuing hobbies or practicing a home based profession. In front of the garage, a large driveway provides sufficient space to park four vehicles. A gate at the rear gives access to the Heuvelstraat. At the back of the garage, an overhang or canopy provides covered space, which would be ideal for storing a caravan or similar items.

The property includes several modern amenities such as air conditioning and a fiber optic cable connection. Heating is provided by a Nefit Topline combi boiler that is gas fired and dates from 2011, which is owned rather than rented. Supplementary heating is available through the wood burning stove in the living room.

Alphen is situated within the urban quadrangle formed by Arnhem, Nijmegen, Den Bosch, and Utrecht, surrounded by natural landscapes. The area features green meadows crossed by ditches, rows of trees, the reflective Maas river enclosed by dikes, birds, and beautiful skies. Notable local elements include the Lambertuskerk with its medieval tower, a mill on the dike, a marina, and the meandering Maas river, all contributing to an attractive and pleasant living environment. The Brabant countryside is within sight, and the city of Oss can be reached by bicycle or car via various ferry crossings from the Maas villages. Within fifteen minutes by car, you can reach the A15 or A2 motorways, which connect to the national road network. Alphen has a primary school and various sports facilities.

The property is accessible for elderly residents and is located on a quiet road. The cadastral registration shows two parcels: Appeltern H 173 measuring 1089 square meters and Appeltern H 1268 measuring 87 square meters, both in full ownership. The asking price is 839000 euros costs to be borne by the buyer, which translates to approximately 3958 euros per square meter of living space. Transfer is to be arranged by mutual agreement.
