Spacious Detached Home with Rural Views in Vorden

This detached property is located on the Oude Zutphenseweg in the village of Vorden, situated in the municipality of Bronckhorst in the province of Gelderland. The postcode for this address is 7251 JP. Vorden is known as a castle village, referring to the multiple historical castles and country estates that can be found in the surrounding area. The property occupies a position at the edge of the village, offering views over the adjacent meadows and countryside while remaining within walking distance of the village centre.

The original construction of the house dates back to 1965, when it was built on the former grounds of the historic farmhouse called De Weppel. Over the decades, the property has undergone several expansions and renovations. Extensions were added in the late 1970s, and a comprehensive renovation took place in 2008. During this 2008 renovation, a new garage was constructed adjacent to the main residence, and the kitchen was completely renewed. The result is a home that has grown into a substantial family residence with modern amenities while retaining its character.

The total living area measures 172 square metres, distributed across two main living floors with an additional attic space. In addition to the living area, there is 30 square metres of other indoor space, which includes a basement and storage areas. The building has a volume of 626 cubic metres. Outside, there is 7 square metres of attached outdoor space in the form of a balcony.

The ground floor layout centres around a Z-shaped living room that creates distinct zones for sitting and dining. The sitting area benefits from a large window that allows natural light to enter freely and provides a view of the front garden. The dining area features patio doors that open onto the rear terrace, creating a connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Both the front and rear aspects of the living room offer views of the garden and the surrounding meadows.

Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which was installed during the 2008 renovation. The kitchen features an island with a wood-effect finish, complemented by an appliance wall. The dark slate floor provides a contrast with the lighter colour scheme of the kitchen units. From the kitchen, one can access the dining area and subsequently reach an office space. A utility room with laundry connections is situated around the corner from the office.

The first floor contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and has direct access to a balcony overlooking the garden and the countryside beyond. Adjacent to the master bedroom is the main bathroom, which is finished in light-coloured tiles and fixtures. This bathroom includes a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a double vanity unit.

The two remaining bedrooms are located at the front of the property. Each of these bedrooms has access to its own bathroom, both of which are modern and equipped with a shower, toilet, and vanity unit. This arrangement provides a high degree of convenience and privacy for occupants or guests.

A fixed staircase on the landing leads to the attic floor, which serves as additional storage space for household items.

The property stands on a plot of 1158 square metres. According to the cadastral records, the land is divided into two parcels: one measuring 1040 square metres and another measuring 118 square metres. Both parcels are held in full ownership. The garden surrounds the property and includes terraces that are designed to capture both sunny and shaded areas throughout the day. The rear garden is screened to provide privacy. At the front of the property, space has been designated for parking multiple vehicles.

The garage was built in 2008 as part of the renovation works. It is constructed of brick and attached to the main residence. The garage measures 22 square metres and is fully insulated, making it suitable for use as a workshop or hobby space in addition to vehicle storage. It can accommodate one car.

The property has an energy label C. It is equipped with 12 solar panels that contribute to energy generation. Insulation measures include roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and predominantly double glazing. Heating is provided by a gas-fired combination boiler, specifically a Nefit Ecomline Excellent model from 2005, which is owned rather than rented. The property also has partial underfloor heating. Additional installations include air conditioning and a mechanical ventilation system.

Vorden offers a range of local amenities including shops for daily groceries, a bakery, a butcher, and various dining establishments. The village also has schools, a healthcare centre, and a combined train and bus station. Despite the proximity to these facilities, the property allows direct access to the surrounding countryside. A network of walking and cycling paths leads through the agricultural landscape, passing by the historical castles and estates that characterise this part of the Achterhoek region. The nature reserve Het Grote Veld, situated between Vorden and Lochem, provides further opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The property is located on a quiet road outside the built-up area, with an open aspect to the surrounding countryside. The asking price is 769000 euros, which is payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 4471 euros per square metre of living space. The property is currently available for viewing, and acceptance terms are to be negotiated.
