Spacious Farmhouse with Separate Guest Accommodation in Drenthe
Key Features
Description
The property at Burchtweg 8 in Bunne is a residential farmhouse situated in the province of Drenthe, offering a combination of rural living with convenient access to the city of Groningen. The main residence provides 303 square meters of living space, situated on a plot of 1,187 square meters. The property holds an A++ energy rating, reflecting its high level of energy efficiency achieved through comprehensive insulation and modern heating systems.
The farmhouse dates back to 1900, featuring a traditional gabled roof covered with tiles. Despite its age, the property has been thoroughly modernized to meet contemporary standards of comfort and sustainability. The building is fully insulated, with insulation applied to the roof, walls, and floors, complemented by double glazing throughout. The heating system combines a Daikin Altherma combi boiler installed in 2024, a heat pump, partial underfloor heating on the ground floor, and a wood burning stove for additional warmth. The property also benefits from 30 solar panels, contributing to its excellent energy performance.
The ground floor layout has been designed to accommodate single level living if desired. The entrance hall provides access to a wardrobe area, the staircase to the upper floor, and the various rooms on this level. To the left of the entrance, there is a toilet, a practical utility room, and several built in storage cupboards.
The kitchen serves as the central hub of the home, featuring a cooking island with ample workspace and cabinet storage. The kitchen maintains direct connections to both the garden and the living room, facilitating an easy flow between cooking, dining, and outdoor living.
The living room is exceptionally spacious and benefits from large windows that allow abundant natural light to enter. From this room, occupants can enjoy views across the garden and the surrounding countryside. Doors that open fully create a seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces.
At the front of the property, two bedrooms are located, including a generous master bedroom with a walk in closet. A bathroom on this floor is equipped with a double vanity, a bathtub, and a shower. An additional storage room provides practical space for household items. A separate office space is situated at the side of the house, offering a dedicated area for those who work from home.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the entrance hall and features a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms and a second bathroom. The largest bedroom on this floor is positioned at the front of the property and receives plentiful natural light, with built in cupboard space for storage. Two additional bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation on this level. The bathroom on the first floor includes a shower, a washbasin, and a toilet. Several storage areas and attic spaces on this floor offer additional practical storage options.
A significant feature of this property is the separate outbuilding, which has been finished to a high standard and currently functions as a luxury guest accommodation. The ground floor of this building features a high ceiling, a large glass facade, and doors that open onto a terrace. A bathroom and storage area are also located on this level. A fixed staircase leads to a sleeping loft, giving the space the character of a boutique lodge. The self contained nature of this building and its quality finish make it suitable for various purposes, including use as a bed and breakfast, a care facility for family members, a practice space, or independent living quarters for guests or family members.
The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed to enhance the living experience. The garden surrounds the property and includes multiple terraces, a veranda, and a jacuzzi. Mature planting provides structure and privacy, while the positioning of the property allows for unobstructed views across the adjacent meadows. The setting offers a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural landscape.
The property is located on a quiet road in a rural setting. Despite its countryside location, it is positioned within comfortable cycling distance of Groningen city center. The nearby town of Eelde and major road connections are also easily accessible, combining the benefits of rural living with urban conveniences.
Parking is available on the property, and while there is currently no garage, the listing notes that adding one would be possible. A detached wooden storage shed provides additional outdoor storage space.
The property is offered at a price of 1,145,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs. The acceptance terms are to be negotiated. The cadastral reference for the property is VRIES Y 129, and the ownership status is full freehold.
The village of Bunne itself is characterized by its peaceful atmosphere and traditional Drentse charm. The surrounding landscape is typical of the region, with open fields, hedgerows, and the occasional standalone tree creating a picturesque backdrop to daily life. The presence of an old Es tree on or near the property adds to the sense of place and historical continuity that defines many rural Drenthe locations.
For those with an interest in outdoor activities, the immediate environment offers opportunities for walking and cycling through the flat countryside. The proximity to Groningen, one of the largest cities in the northern Netherlands, means that cultural events, shopping, dining, and educational facilities are readily accessible.
The property would suit a range of potential buyers. Families with children would benefit from the multiple bedrooms, the garden space, and the rural environment. Those who work from home would appreciate the dedicated office space and the quiet setting. Buyers interested in generating supplementary income could explore the bed and breakfast potential of the separate building. Individuals with family members requiring care could utilize the outbuilding as an annex with independence for its occupants while maintaining proximity to the main house.
The mechanical systems in the property include a mechanical ventilation system, contributing to air quality throughout the home. External sun blinds are fitted, allowing occupants to manage solar gain during warmer months. A television connection is available, and a chimney is present for the wood burning stove.
The building volume is stated as 1,151 cubic meters, indicating the substantial scale of the main residence. The additional 25 square meters of indoor space beyond the living area, along with 16 square meters of building related outdoor space and 7 square meters of external storage, complete the spatial inventory of the property.
The property has been listed as accessible for elderly residents, likely due to the ground floor living capabilities and the absence of significant level changes at the entrance. This feature enhances the long term suitability of the home for occupants who may have changing mobility needs over time.
