Detached Family Residence with Panoramic Meadow Views in Noorden
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a deep backyard of 27 meters with an unobstructed panoramic view over the meadows, ensuring high privacy and a permanent green outlook.
- Technically, the home is in good condition with a recently installed HR Combi boiler from 2024, a solar water heater, and the presence of solar panels and fiber optic internet.
- The location offers the best of both worlds, situated in the quiet Green Heart nature area near the Nieuwkoopse Plassen while having excellent accessibility to major Randstad cities like Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Schiphol.
Downsides
- The backyard is located on the north, which typically results in less direct sunlight on the terrace compared to south or west facing gardens, although the depth mitigates this somewhat.
- The energy label is not available, which may create uncertainty regarding the official energy efficiency rating and potential future insulation requirements, despite the presence of HR glass and wall insulation.
- With a build year of 1980, specific interior features such as the kitchen and bathrooms may have varying levels of modernization despite the description mentioning a modern bathroom, potentially requiring updates to match personal taste.
Description
Located in the charming village of Noorden, this detached residence offers a unique opportunity to experience the serene lifestyle of the Groene Hart while maintaining excellent connectivity to major Dutch cities. Situated at Noordse Dorpsweg 15, the property is positioned on a generous plot of 577 square meters, providing a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly rare in the current housing market. The home is designed to maximize the natural beauty of its surroundings, with large windows that frame the picturesque views of the surrounding meadows and polders. This is a property where the changing seasons become a part of daily life, visible from the comfort of the living areas and the depth of the garden.
The location in Noorden is particularly desirable for those seeking a balance between rural living and urban convenience. The village is part of the municipality of Nieuwkoop, a region celebrated for its extensive nature reserves, waterways, and recreational opportunities. Residents here enjoy access to the Nieuwkoopse Plassen, a paradise for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Despite the tranquil setting, the property is strategically located with easy access to the Randstad. Major cities such as Utrecht, Amsterdam, Leiden, Den Haag, and Schiphol Airport are all within reasonable commuting distance. This allows residents to enjoy the peace of the countryside without sacrificing the professional and cultural amenities of the city. Daily amenities, including supermarkets, schools, and sports clubs, are readily available in Noorden and the neighboring towns of Nieuwkoop, Woerden, and Alphen aan den Rijn.
Upon arrival at the property, the free standing location and the generous layout of the plot are immediately apparent. The house features an attached garage at the front, providing secure parking and storage, along with a spacious front garden and ample parking space on the private driveway. The exterior of the house, built in 1980, features a saddle roof covered with tiles, characteristic of the architectural style of the region. The entrance leads into a light filled interior where the emphasis is on comfort and the connection with the outdoors. The living room is a welcoming space, characterized by large window sections that ensure plenty of natural light and offer a direct visual link to the garden. A fireplace serves as a cozy focal point, making the room an ideal gathering place for family and friends during the colder months.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the house in a half open arrangement, which promotes a sociable atmosphere during cooking and dining. This placement ensures that the culinary area also benefits from the stunning views over the deep backyard and the meadows beyond. Practicality is well catered for with the inclusion of a utility room accessible from the kitchen, offering extra space for laundry appliances and storage. The flow between the living area and the kitchen is seamless, creating a logical and functional living space suitable for modern family life.
The first floor of the residence hosts three spacious bedrooms, providing ample accommodation for a family or for those requiring a home office and guest rooms. One of the distinct features of this floor is the balcony located at the front, which faces south. This outdoor space is a valuable asset, offering a sunny spot to enjoy a morning coffee or read a book in the sun. The modern bathroom on this level is stylishly finished and equipped with a walk in shower, a double vanity, and a toilet, combining functionality with contemporary design. The layout of the first floor ensures privacy and comfort for all occupants.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which adds significant versatility to the property. Here, a fourth bedroom is located, offering a perfect solution for guests, a growing teenager, or a dedicated workspace. In addition to the bedroom, this floor provides abundant storage space, a crucial feature for keeping the main living areas clutter free. The presence of this extra layer makes the house highly adaptable to the changing needs of its residents over time. Whether used as a hobby room, a studio, or simply for storage, the second floor greatly enhances the functionality of the home.
The outdoor space is undoubtedly one of the most compelling aspects of this property. The backyard has a depth of approximately 27 meters, creating a substantial private oasis. The garden is situated on the north, yet due to its depth and the open location, it captures light throughout the day. The unobstructed view over the fields ensures that privacy is maintained, allowing residents to fully relax in their own outdoor haven. The garden includes a detached stone storage shed, offering additional space for gardening tools or outdoor equipment. The rear of the property backs directly onto open meadows, guaranteeing a permanent green view and ensuring that no new buildings will obstruct the sightline.
In terms of technical specifications, the property is equipped with several modern features. The heating is provided by a HR Combi boiler installed in 2024, ensuring reliable and efficient heating for the foreseeable future. Hot water is supplied through a combination of the boiler and a solar boiler, contributing to energy efficiency. The house also features solar panels, helping to reduce energy costs and the environmental footprint of the household. Insulation includes double glazing, HR glass, and wall insulation, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate. The property is connected to a fiber optic network, ensuring high speed internet access which is essential for home offices and modern entertainment. While the energy label is currently listed as not available, the presence of modern insulation techniques and renewable energy sources suggests a commitment to energy performance.
This detached house at Noordse Dorpsweg 15 represents a solid offering for those looking to settle in the Green Heart of the Netherlands. It combines the practicality of a spacious family home with the aesthetic appeal of a rural location. The four bedrooms, multiple storage options, and generous garden size cater to the needs of a dynamic household. The recent upgrades to the heating system and the inclusion of energy saving technologies provide peace of mind regarding the maintenance and operational costs of the home. The location offers the best of both worlds, with immediate access to nature and water recreation, while remaining well connected to the economic hubs of the Randstad. For buyers seeking a permanent residence in a village setting without compromising on space or views, this property presents a worthy opportunity.
