Atmospheric characteristic detached villa with spacious garden

Located in the attractive Oranjewijk district of Barendrecht, this spacious detached villa at Stationsweg 56 presents a unique opportunity to acquire a former mayor's residence with considerable historical character. The property was built in 1929 and has been designated as a municipal monument, which exempts it from the requirement to provide an energy label. The villa is situated on a generous plot measuring 1,428 square metres and is surrounded by a park-like garden that enhances the stately appearance of the home.

The entrance to the property is through an attractive front door that leads to a vestibule area. From there, one proceeds to the main hall which provides access to the various rooms on the ground floor. The hall features the impressive grand staircase leading to the first floor, which is a notable architectural element befitting a residence of this caliber.

The living room is a particularly appealing space with high ceilings reaching 2.90 metres, creating an immediate sense of volume and grandeur. At the front of the room, there is an attractive bay window with tall windows that offer an excellent view over the garden. The rear of the living room features patio doors that open directly onto the terrace and the back garden, providing a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and is set up as a dining kitchen. The current kitchen installation is described as neat but dated and includes various appliances. A ground floor toilet is also available.

A practical intermediate hall provides access to the utility room, which has a door to the garden, as well as a storage area and the entrance to the indoor garage. The garage is spacious with doors that open to the garden and is equipped with electricity and running water.

The first floor is reached via the aforementioned grand staircase. The landing here is generous in size and gives access to all the rooms on this level. There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The first bedroom is equipped with a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is located at the front of the property and provides access to a sizeable balcony. The third bedroom, formerly used as a study, also has a built-in wardrobe. The fourth bedroom is situated at the rear of the house.

The first floor bathroom is described as spacious and is fitted with a shower, a bathtub, and a double vanity unit. A separate toilet is available on this floor as well. The laundry room is a practical space with connections for washing appliances and also contains the stairs to the second floor and the access to the roof terrace. The roof terrace is located above the garage and offers additional outdoor space.

The second floor consists of a substantial open attic space with a skylight that provides natural light. This area offers ample possibilities for creating additional rooms according to the new owner's wishes. There is also a storage room housing the gas-fired combination boiler for central heating and hot water.

The property includes a full basement that is accessible from the ground floor hall, providing valuable additional storage space. The total living area measures 208 square metres, with additional inpandige space of 35 square metres, 37 square metres of building-bound outdoor space, and 9 square metres of external storage.

The garden surrounding the property is described as park-like and offers various options for creating terraces in both sunny and shaded positions. A notable feature is the presence of three chestnut trees at the front of the plot, which have been granted monumental status. The maintenance of these trees is the responsibility of the Municipality of Barendrecht. It should be noted that a portion of the ground in the front garden is in use by the municipality and has been for at least fifty years.

The driveway provides access from the cycle path along Stationsweg and offers sufficient space for parking multiple vehicles on the property. In addition to the parking on the driveway, the indoor garage provides covered parking for one car.

Regarding the glazing, the ground floor is largely fitted with double glazing. The first floor predominantly has single glazing, with the exception of the attractive stained glass windows in the bay window near the staircase, which have been fitted with double glazing. The property features natural ventilation throughout.

The Oranjewijk location offers the advantage of having all necessary amenities in the immediate vicinity. The proximity to Stationsweg suggests good accessibility to public transport links. The asking price for this property is one million euros, which is equivalent to approximately 4,808 euros per square metre of living space.

As a municipal monument, the property carries certain considerations regarding alterations, but also offers the benefit of living in a home with authentic period details such as the stained glass windows and the grand staircase. The combination of the historical character, the generous plot size, and the potential to further modernise the property makes this a distinctive offering in the Barendrecht housing market.
