Detached Countryside Home with Panoramic Views and Large Garden

This detached property is situated on the Vogelzangsterweg near the village of Hegebeintum in the province of Friesland. The home offers a spacious living environment with a total living area of 170 square metres, set on a generous plot of 1,080 square metres of private land. The asking price is 395,000 euros, payable by the buyer including transaction costs.

The location provides residents with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and open farmland. The property occupies a position without direct neighbours, offering a high degree of privacy and tranquillity. Hegebeintum itself is a characterful village known for being home to the highest terp in the Netherlands, a man-made mound historically created to protect settlements from flooding.

The house was originally built in 1800, giving it a historical foundation, though it has been updated over the centuries to provide modern comforts. The property currently carries a commercial zoning designation, meaning it can be purchased as a business residence. However, the listing indicates that the municipality has already expressed a positive stance towards changing the zoning to residential use through a preliminary consultation process. This means the property can also be acquired as a regular family home.

The ground floor layout has been designed with accessibility in mind, making the property suitable for residents who prefer or require single-level living. Upon entering through the central entrance, visitors arrive in a hallway that connects to the utility room. This utility area contains connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as space for an additional refrigerator and freezer. From the hallway, a separate toilet room is accessible.

The closed kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances and connects to a small intermediate hallway leading to the living room. The living area features a beamed ceiling that adds character to the space, a wood-burning stove for additional warmth and atmosphere, and a bay window that frames the picturesque views over the surrounding fields. This design element effectively brings the outdoor experience into the interior of the home.

From the entrance area, one can proceed to the central hallway containing the staircase to the upper floor. The ground floor also accommodates a workspace that can function as a bedroom, a sizeable bedroom with a walk-in closet, and an additional room that offers flexibility for various uses. The bathroom is situated on the ground floor as well, fitted with a shower, a washbasin, and a second toilet. This arrangement of essential facilities on the main floor contributes to the life-cycle resistant character of the property.

The upper floor contains one bedroom and a practical storage area. This storage space also houses the central heating boiler installation and the solar boiler system.

The heating system consists of radiators connected to an ATAG high-efficiency combination boiler that was installed in 2015. Additionally, a solar boiler system is present on the upper floor to assist with hot water production. The property holds an energy label D rating, which provides a reasonable starting point for further sustainability improvements should the new owners wish to enhance the energy efficiency of the home.

A significant feature of this property is the detached garage building, which measures approximately 38 square metres and can accommodate two vehicles. Adjacent to the garage is a separate storage area and workshop measuring around 31 square metres. Remarkably, this outbuilding has its own central heating installation, is connected to heavy-duty electricity (krachtstroom), and has fibre optic internet access. These facilities make the outbuilding suitable for a variety of purposes, including hobbies, working from home, an artist studio, or potentially a small bed and breakfast operation.

The total volume of the main dwelling is 664 cubic metres. Additional space includes 17 square metres of other indoor space and 71 square metres of external storage. The property has double glazing throughout and features natural ventilation. A skylight is present, and the property is connected to fibre optic cabling for high-speed internet.

Parking is available on the private grounds, and public parking options exist in the vicinity as well. The garden surrounds the property on all sides, providing multiple outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the day depending on the position of the sun.

The surrounding area guarantees peace, space, and natural beauty, while amenities in neighbouring villages and towns remain readily accessible. This combination allows residents to enjoy rural living without sacrificing practical connectivity to urban facilities.

Prospective buyers should be aware that both an age clause and an asbestos clause apply to this property, which is standard for buildings of this era. The foundation risk has been assessed by the KCAF (Kennis Centrum Aanpak Funderingsproblematiek) as presenting no high risk, meaning the property falls within category A, B, or C according to available data. This assessment is based on information from FunderMaps, which examines factors such as foundation type, soil and groundwater conditions, subsidence incidents, and repair data. However, the seller, the estate agent, and the NVM do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of this foundation risk indicator. Interested parties are advised to commission an independent foundation investigation if the condition of the foundation is of particular importance to them.

The property is classified as a detached single-family house with a total of six rooms, four of which are bedrooms. There is one bathroom and one separate toilet. The construction type is existing build, reflecting its historical origins. The entire plot is held in full ownership, registered in the cadastral register as BLIJA I 100 with a surface area of 1,080 square metres.

This property presents an opportunity for those seeking a home in a peaceful rural setting with ample space both inside and out. The combination of a solid structural basis, the potential for residential zoning, the extensive outbuilding facilities, and the open views makes this a noteworthy option for buyers looking to relocate to the Friesland countryside.
