Characterful Semi-Detached Home with Ground Floor Bedroom and Garden Veranda

Located on one of the most sought after lanes with 1930s architecture in Barneveld, this semi-detached residence at Verlooplaan offers a unique combination of period character and modern living comfort. The property is situated in the Staatsliedenwijk neighborhood, an area known for its attractive residential streets and proximity to various amenities. The home was originally constructed around 1934 and received a significant extension in 1981, which substantially increased the available living space and created the current generous floor plan.

The location of this property is particularly noteworthy. It sits within walking distance of Barneveld railway station, making it convenient for commuters who need to travel to larger cities in the region. The Schaffelaarse Bos, a beloved forested area for recreation and nature walks, is also accessible on foot. For daily shopping, dining, and other village amenities, the center of Barneveld is just a five minute walk away. This combination of natural surroundings and urban convenience makes the position highly desirable.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into an entrance hall that provides access to the stairwell and a fixed storage closet. There is also a cellar storage space for additional storage needs. The hall connects to the main living area through an attractive glass door that allows light to flow between the spaces.

The ground floor living room is notably spacious and bright. It features a stylish mantelpiece with an open fireplace that serves as a focal point in the room. French doors open directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The room is large enough to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a separate television corner or play area, offering flexibility in how the space is used.

The kitchen is a closed configuration, meaning it is separated from the living room, which can be preferable for those who wish to keep cooking odors contained or who prefer a more traditional layout. The kitchen has been fitted with a modern setup that includes an induction cooking plate, a gas cooking plate, an oven, a Quooker instant hot water tap, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is a built-in dining room that has its own door to the garden, providing an alternative route to the outdoor space.

From the dining area, access is gained to the extension added in 1981. This section of the ground floor contains a bedroom and an adjoining bathroom. The ground floor bathroom is equipped with a washbasin, a toilet, and a shower. This configuration makes the property particularly suitable for those seeking age-in-place living, as the essential living functions can be maintained on a single level without needing to use the stairs. The ground floor layout also lends itself well to individuals who work from home and might wish to use the additional room as a consultation space or studio.

Also accessible from the entrance hall is an attached garage with a skylight and double doors. The garage can accommodate one vehicle and provides secure parking or additional storage space.

The first floor of the property is reached via the staircase in the hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and a second bathroom. One bedroom features a dormer window, adding extra headroom and light. Another bedroom at the front of the house includes a built-in closet. The master bedroom also has a built-in closet and is complemented by a double washbasin vanity. The first floor bathroom contains a bathtub, a bidet, and a toilet, offering a full range of facilities.

The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase, confirming that this is a proper three story residence rather than having an attic ladder. This level contains another bedroom with a washbasin, as well as a sizable attic space. The attic presents the possibility of creating additional rooms, should the future owners wish to expand the living area further.

Throughout the property, attention has been paid to preserving original architectural details while updating where necessary. The listing mentions the presence of original stained glass windows and panel doors that are characteristic of 1930s residential architecture. At the same time, the windows have been upgraded to HR++ glazing to improve energy efficiency without compromising the appearance of the facade.

The outdoor space at this property is a notable feature. The rear garden measures 150 square meters with dimensions of approximately 15 meters in depth and 10 meters in width. The garden has been landscaped in a style that complements the character of the house. A side entrance provides an alternative access point to the garden without going through the house. A substantial veranda has been constructed at the rear, offering covered outdoor seating that can be enjoyed during warm weather and into the evening hours. The garden is oriented to the northeast.

The front of the property also has a garden area, contributing to the attractive streetscape of the Verlooplaan. A separate freestanding wooden storage shed is located on the property, equipped with electricity.
