Fully modernised semi-detached home with garage, solar panels and south-west garden in child-friendly Boekelo

This semi-detached family home is located at Robijnstraat 15 in the village of Boekelo, part of the municipality of Enschede. The property was built around 1975 and has been comprehensively modernised in 2023, resulting in a contemporary and comfortable home that is ready to move into.

The house offers approximately 132 square metres of living space spread across three floors, with a total of four bedrooms. The plot measures 225 square metres and includes a front garden, a spacious back garden of nearly 149 square metres oriented towards the south-west, an attached stone garage, and two parking spaces on the private driveway equipped with an electric car charging point.

On the ground floor, you enter through the side entrance into a spacious hallway that provides access to a toilet and a stair cupboard. The bright and airy living room is a generous space featuring a sliding glass door that opens onto the terrace. The open kitchen is fitted with a brand-new Nolte kitchen installation from 2023, complete with a Quooker hot-water tap, refrigerator, dual cook oven, dishwasher, induction hob with integrated extractor hood, and a Boretti wine cooler. All appliances are smart-controlled. A utility room off the kitchen provides connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The ground floor is finished with modern floor tiles equipped with underfloor heating.

The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a fully equipped bathroom with a bathtub, a toilet and a vanity unit. This floor also has underfloor heating and is finished with laminate flooring. A fixed staircase with an air-conditioning unit in the stairwell provides access to the second floor.

The second floor features a spacious landing area leading to a very large bedroom beneath the pitched roof. This bedroom has a dormer window offering a pleasant view over the rural surroundings of Boekelo. Like the rest of the upper floors, this room is finished with laminate flooring. All rooms throughout the house include built-in wardrobes.

The 2023 modernisation programme brought significant improvements to the property. Most window frames have been replaced with plastic frames fitted with HR++ double glazing. A new gas-fired combination central heating boiler was installed in 2023 and is owned by the current owner. Fifteen solar panels have been fitted, contributing to lower energy costs. The property carries an energy label C.

The attractive back garden is oriented towards the south-west and has been thoughtfully landscaped. A spacious covered terrace provides shelter for enjoying the outdoors in all but the heaviest weather, and there is an outdoor shower with hot water for warm summer days. For sunny days when you prefer to stay closer to the house, an electrically operated awning at the rear of the property can be extended at the touch of a button.

Other features include roller shutters or screens on several windows, air-conditioning on the second floor landing, and a garage with electricity and running water. The front garden is nicely laid out and the street is a cul-de-sac, adding to the safety and quiet character of the neighbourhood.

Boekelo is a lively village situated on the edge of the countryside with a good range of local facilities including a weekly market, supermarket, butcher, wine merchant and several restaurants. The centre of Enschede is within easy cycling distance, and the nearby towns of Haaksbergen and Hengelo are also quickly reached. The village is described as child-friendly, making it suitable for families.
