Description
Gendt is a village located in the Dutch province of Gelderland, characterized by its friendly and familiar atmosphere. The community is known for residents greeting each other on the street, children playing outdoors, and daily amenities being within close proximity. The village is surrounded by dikes, floodplains, and orchards, providing residents with a sense of space and tranquility in their daily lives. Despite its peaceful setting, Gendt offers a central location with cities such as Nijmegen and Arnhem easily accessible for work, shopping, or leisure activities.
The village provides a comprehensive range of local amenities including grocery stores, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, and dining options. This combination of local convenience and regional connectivity makes Gendt a practical and comfortable place to live, offering the calm of village life alongside the vibrancy of the surrounding region.
The Wilgenhof development forms part of the larger Vleumingen-West project, which will introduce 97 affordable, comfortable, and sustainable homes to Gendt. The sales for these properties are scheduled to commence on June 11, 2026, with construction expected to be completed in 2027.
The Wilgenhof type is a patio home designed for single-level living. The ground floor accommodates the bedroom and bathroom, ensuring that all essential living functions are located on one level. This layout is particularly suitable for individuals who prefer or require accessible living arrangements without stairs. Four of the twelve Wilgenhof homes feature an additional upper level, which includes an extra toilet and space for an additional bedroom, providing flexibility for those who may need more sleeping accommodations.
A defining characteristic of the Wilgenhof type is the central patio. This outdoor space is sheltered and private, available in both north and south-facing orientations. The patio serves as an extension of the living space, offering a protected area for outdoor relaxation regardless of weather conditions. This feature contributes to the daily comfort and usability of the home.
Each Wilgenhof property includes a parking space on the private lot and an attached outdoor storage shed. The storage shed has an area of approximately five square meters and provides space for bicycles, garden equipment, or other items.
The homes are available with a living area ranging from approximately 104 to 132 square meters. The standard version without the upper addition offers around 104 square meters of living space. The version with the upper level reaches approximately 132 square meters. The plot sizes range from 225 to 241 square meters, providing ample outdoor space around the property.
The interior layout includes three rooms in the base configuration, comprising two bedrooms along with the main living area. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. A separate toilet is also provided for added convenience. Properties with the upper addition can accommodate up to four bedrooms.
The Wilgenhof homes are classified as bungalows with a linked construction type. The roof is a flat design covered with bituminous roofing material and synthetic components. The properties are being constructed under the Woningborg Guarantee Certificate, which provides buyers with security regarding the completion and quality of the new construction.
The energy performance of these homes is rated A+++, indicating excellent energy efficiency. The properties feature high-performance glazing and complete insulation throughout. The heating system utilizes geothermal energy, with underfloor heating installed throughout the entire home. A heat recovery system and heat pump are integrated into the building services, contributing to the overall energy efficiency. Hot water is also supplied through the geothermal energy system.
The accessibility features of the Wilgenhof homes make them suitable for people with physical limitations and for elderly residents. The single-level layout eliminates the need to navigate stairs, and the design incorporates accessibility considerations throughout.
The properties are situated within a residential neighborhood with an open aspect. The outdoor space is configured as a patio or atrium, providing a private outdoor area that is integrated into the home design. The location combines the benefits of residential living with views and access to the surrounding landscape.
The building numbers for the Wilgenhof type include 9 through 13 and 26 through 30. Building numbers 9, 10, 26, and 27 are the versions that include the upper level addition, offering the larger living area and additional bedroom space.
The asking price for these properties starts at 485,000 euros, offered vrij op naam. This means the price is inclusive of transfer tax and notary costs associated with the property transfer, which are typically borne by the buyer in Dutch property transactions.
The Vleumingen-West development represents a significant addition to the housing stock in Gendt. The project focuses on creating sustainable and comfortable homes that meet modern energy standards while providing practical living spaces for a range of household types. The emphasis on accessibility and single-level living makes these properties particularly suitable for older residents or those with mobility considerations, while the option for an upper level addition provides flexibility for growing families or those requiring additional space.
The patio design element is a distinctive architectural feature that differentiates these homes from conventional bungalows. The sheltered outdoor space provides a private area that can be used throughout the year, offering protection from wind and providing a microclimate that can extend the usability of outdoor space during transitional seasons.
The combination of geothermal heating, comprehensive insulation, and heat recovery systems positions these homes at the forefront of energy-efficient residential construction. The A+++ energy label reflects the high performance standards achieved through these integrated building systems.
The location in Gendt offers residents the opportunity to live in a village setting while maintaining convenient access to urban amenities in nearby cities. The surrounding landscape of dikes, floodplains, and orchards provides a distinctive natural environment that contributes to the quality of life in the area.
The construction timeline indicates that the homes will be completed in 2027, with the sales process beginning in June 2026. This allows prospective buyers time to plan their purchase and arrange their affairs before the properties become available for occupancy. The new construction status means that buyers will be the first occupants of these homes, with all fixtures, finishes, and systems being brand new and covered by warranty protections.
The parking provision includes a dedicated space on the property for each home, ensuring that residents have convenient and secure parking without the need to search for on-street parking. This is a practical advantage in residential areas where parking can sometimes be limited.
The attached storage shed, while modest in size at approximately five square meters, provides essential additional space that would otherwise need to be accommodated within the main living area. This helps maintain the cleanliness and organization of the interior living spaces.
The residential neighborhood setting means that the properties are located within a planned community with consistent architectural standards and shared infrastructure. The open aspect of the location suggests that the homes benefit from views and a sense of space rather than being enclosed by adjacent buildings.
The Woningborg Guarantee Certificate is an important protection for buyers of new construction in the Netherlands. This guarantee provides assurance that the property will be completed according to the agreed specifications and that any defects discovered during the warranty period will be addressed by the builder.
The choice between the standard version and the version with the upper addition allows buyers to select a home that matches their space requirements and budget. The standard version at approximately 104 square meters provides comfortable living space for one or two people, while the extended version at approximately 132 square meters with four bedrooms can accommodate larger households.
The patio orientation varies between north and south-facing options. South-facing patios receive more direct sunlight throughout the day, which may be preferred by those who enjoy sun exposure and wish to use the patio for gardening or sunbathing. North-facing patios offer a cooler outdoor space that may be more comfortable during warm summer days and provide consistent indirect light.
The development of 97 homes in total indicates that Vleumingen-West will create a substantial new residential area within Gendt. This scale of development suggests that the area will have a cohesive community feel while still providing sufficient variety in home types and layouts to suit different preferences and needs.
