Description
This property is a modernised terraced house situated on the southern edge of the village of Doorn. The residence benefits from a position where the built environment gently merges into open fields that stretch toward the neighbouring settlement of Langbroek. From the bright living area and the garden one can look out over cultivated grass and scattered trees. The view remains open and changes with the seasons, providing a sense of space that is rare in a residential neighbourhood.
The building was originally constructed in 1983 and has undergone a substantial renovation and extension during the years 2022 and 2023. The renovation introduced a new light roof structure, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and a thermal envelope that meets current energy standards. The total living area measures approximately 120 square metres and is distributed over three levels. The plot size is 153 square metres, offering a modest front garden and a larger south facing rear garden.
On the ground floor a hallway welcomes visitors and provides access to a storage cupboard, the electrical meter, and a small toilet equipped with a sink. Through the hallway the living room is entered. Large windows and a sliding glass door flood the room with natural light and frame the countryside view. The sliding door opens onto a terrace that runs the width of the garden. The open plan kitchen lies adjacent to the living space. It is fitted with high quality built‑in appliances and contemporary cabinetry. Under the staircase a convenient storage closet is provided. The entire ground floor, with the exception of the toilet, is heated by an underfloor heating system.
The first floor is reached by a staircase that leads to a landing. From the landing three bedrooms are accessed. The principal bedroom faces the front of the house and offers enough space for a work area. Two additional bedrooms are located toward the rear and each benefits from a roof window that provides natural illumination. A modern bathroom is also situated on this level. It includes a walk‑in shower, a bathtub, a wash basin with furniture, a design radiator and a separate toilet. The bathroom finishes are contemporary and functional.
The second floor is accessed by a short flight of stairs from the landing. A small vestibule on this level houses the mechanical installations. Here the central heating boiler, a photovoltaic inverter, and a mechanical ventilation unit are located. Connections for a washing machine and a dryer are also present. Two spacious bedrooms are situated beyond the vestibule. Both rooms are illuminated by large dormer windows that have plastic frames and external blinds. The dormer windows increase the usable floor area and provide pleasant daylight.
The exterior of the property includes a stone outbuilding in the front garden that can be used for bicycle storage. The rear garden is oriented to the south and is landscaped with grass and a few mature trees. A terrace runs along the back of the house, offering a place to sit in sunlight for most of the day. A low fence separates the garden from a footpath that runs alongside a small ditch, allowing easy access to the surrounding walking routes. The garden offers privacy thanks to the rear entrance and the surrounding open fields.
Energy performance is a strong point of this home. The house carries an energy label A that remains valid until June 2036. Heating is provided by a gas powered combination boiler installed in 2010. The boiler also supplies domestic hot water. The underfloor heating system works together with radiators to distribute warmth throughout the rooms. Seven photovoltaic panels, each rated at 410 watts peak, are mounted on the roof and contribute to the household electricity consumption. The building envelope is fully insulated, and the windows on the upper floor are equipped with plastic frames and blinds that improve thermal performance.
The neighbourhood is described as child friendly and is part of a residential area known as de Wijngaard. Essential services such as a childcare centre, a primary school, secondary education facilities, sports amenities and a village centre with a variety of shops are within walking distance. Natural attractions such as a local park, the Utrechtse Heuvelrug national park and network of country lanes are nearby, providing opportunities for walking, running, mountain biking and cycling. Public transport options include bus stops close to the property and railway stations in Driebergen Zeist and Maarn. The A12 motorway is also easily reachable, facilitating car travel. Parking is available directly in front of the house.
In summary the property offers a combination of recent modernisation, generous living space, a south facing garden with expansive views, and a location that balances rural tranquility with convenient access to schools, shops and transport links. The energy label, photovoltaic system and full insulation contribute to low running costs and a comfortable indoor environment. The layout provides three bedrooms on the first floor and two additional rooms on the second floor, making the home suitable for a growing family or for shared living arrangements. The overall presentation is clean, functional and well suited to buyers seeking a family home with a view of the countryside.
