The ground floor layout begins with an entrance through a spacious driveway leading to the front door. The hallway provides access to a toilet, meter cupboard, wardrobe, and the staircase to the upper floors. From the hallway, one enters the kitchen, which features a practical straight layout with ample workspace and cabinet storage. The kitchen is equipped with a cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, and combi-oven. A large window provides pleasant natural light, making it an enjoyable space for cooking. The kitchen connects to both the living room and the utility room.

Behind the kitchen lies a practical utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as space for an additional refrigerator or freezer. This room also provides access to the backyard.

The living room is spacious and bright, characterized by large windows that allow abundant natural light. A gas fireplace serves as an attractive focal point in the room. Through sliding doors, the covered terrace adjacent to the house is directly accessible, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

The first floor is accessed via a staircase and offers three spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. All bedrooms are well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged. The front bedroom features a balcony. The fully tiled bathroom is well appointed and includes a window for natural ventilation, a jacuzzi bathtub, a shower with both a rain shower and handheld shower, a double vanity with mirror, a toilet, and a radiator. A fixed staircase leads to the second floor.

The second floor comprises a spacious attic that has been converted into a full fourth bedroom. This level benefits from pleasant natural light and a generous layout. The landing area includes a sink, adding practical functionality. Behind the knee walls, there is ample storage space for keeping items organized. This versatile floor could serve as a bedroom, hobby room, or workspace depending on the needs of the occupants.

The backyard is one of the notable features of this property. It is beautifully landscaped and excellently maintained, offering surprising depth and ample privacy. The playful layout with decorative paving, borders, and mature planting creates a green and atmospheric appearance. Multiple terraces are spread throughout the garden, ensuring there is always a pleasant spot in either sun or shade. Directly adjacent to the house, a spacious canopy has been constructed, ideal for comfortable outdoor seating throughout the year. On the side of the property, there is an additional covered space, perfect for storing containers or as practical storage. At the rear of the garden, there is a large canopy suitable as a lounge area or outdoor retreat, as well as a second smaller canopy. This makes the garden particularly versatile and suitable for both relaxation and hobbies. The garden is also accessible via a double gate on the side, adding extra convenience.

The front yard forms the calling card of the property. Combined with the spacious driveway and favorable positioning, it creates a pleasant sense of space and privacy at the front of the home.

Additional features of the property include underfloor heating, the previously mentioned heat pump and solar panels, a garage with space for one car equipped with electricity and running water, and an attached stone storage building also with utilities. The property offers parking on closed grounds, on private property, and public parking is available in the area.

The home is equipped with various amenities including air conditioning, outdoor sun blinds, a skylight, fiber optic cable, mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, roller shutters, and a chimney. Insulation has been addressed with roof insulation, double glazing, HR glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided through a combination of a CV boiler, electric heating, gas fireplace, partial underfloor heating, and the heat pump. Hot water comes from the CV boiler and an electric boiler. The CV boiler is an HR combi boiler (gas-fired combination boiler) from 2019, which is owned by the current owner.

The building has been measured according to the NEN2580 standard and is provided with a measurement report. For properties older than 25 years, the age clause applies. If the property is not occupied by the seller, the non-occupation clause applies. The purchase agreement will include a 10 percent deposit or bank guarantee. Acceptance of the property is by mutual agreement.

The property is located on a quiet road in a residential area. The cadastral designation is LONNEKER O 10822. The ownership situation is full ownership. The rear garden measures 161 square meters with a depth of 12.36 meters and a width of 13.00 meters, facing northeast and accessible via a rear path.

The Velve-Lindenhof neighborhood where this property is situated is known for its residential character. The location on a quiet road contributes to the peaceful living environment that the listing emphasizes. The combination of the generous plot size of 451 square meters and the detached position of the home ensures that residents can enjoy a degree of privacy that is sometimes difficult to find in more densely built neighborhoods.

The internal volume of the property measures approximately 656 cubic meters, which confirms the spacious feel described throughout the listing. The ground floor living area flows logically from the entrance through to the kitchen and then into the living room, with the utility room providing a practical buffer between the main living spaces and the outdoor areas. This layout is typical of Dutch homes from the 1970s but has been maintained and updated to meet contemporary standards.

The sustainable features deserve particular attention. The energy label A rating indicates that the property meets high efficiency standards, which is notable for a home originally built in 1973. The installation of a heat pump in 2019 represents a significant upgrade to the heating system, reducing reliance on the gas-fired boiler for primary heating needs. The solar panels, with installations in both 2015 and 2023, suggest that the current owners have made a sustained commitment to renewable energy generation. These improvements not only contribute to lower energy costs but also position the property favorably for future energy efficiency requirements.

The bathroom on the first floor offers a comprehensive suite of facilities. The inclusion of a jacuzzi bathtub adds a touch of luxury, while the double vanity provides practical functionality for a family home. The presence of natural ventilation through a window is a practical feature that helps maintain air quality and prevent moisture issues.

The conversion of the second floor into a full fourth bedroom demonstrates how the attic space has been maximized. The mention of knee wall storage indicates that while the sloping roof limits some usable space, this has been cleverly addressed through built-in storage solutions. The additional sink on this floor adds a level of convenience that elevates this space beyond a simple attic conversion.

The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully developed with multiple covered areas serving different purposes. The canopy directly adjacent to the house provides an extension of the living space for outdoor dining or relaxation. The side covered area offers practical storage solutions. The larger canopy at the rear of the garden appears designed as a destination in itself, suitable for entertaining or as a quiet retreat. This variety of outdoor spaces suggests that the current owners have invested significantly in creating a garden that can be enjoyed throughout the year and in various weather conditions.

The garage, while accommodating only one vehicle, provides secure parking and additional storage. The presence of electricity and running water in both the garage and the separate storage building adds practical value, as these spaces could potentially serve as workshops or hobby areas.

With four bedrooms, modern sustainable installations, and a particularly well maintained outdoor space with multiple covered areas, this detached home in Enschede offers comprehensive living comfort for those seeking space, privacy, and a well maintained property in a residential neighborhood.
