Detached Farmhouse with Large Forest Garden in Peaceful Batenburg

Located in the charming village of Batenburg, which forms part of the municipality of Wijchen, this detached residential farmhouse occupies a wonderfully free and peaceful position surrounded by a wooded landscape. The property is accessed via a long private driveway that leads visitors to this attractive ensemble set on over three thousand square metres of its own land. Batenburg itself offers a unique living environment with a nature reserve, a small beach area, a picturesque marina, numerous monumental buildings, and the remains of a castle ruin. Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property remains conveniently connected, being just ten minutes by car from Wijchen and twenty minutes from the city of Nijmegen.

The farmhouse dates from before 1906 and has a total living area of 159 square metres with a volume of 651 cubic metres. The property is explicitly offered as a renovation project, meaning it requires complete modernisation throughout. Interested buyers should be aware that a bidding from price system applies to this listing. The current energy label is G, and the property features partial double glazing. Heating is provided by a combination of a gas fired CV boiler and a wood burning stove, with hot water supplied by the boiler. The installed CV boiler is a Nefit model from 1998 which is included in the sale.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance leading to a pleasant reception hall containing a toilet and the meter cupboard. Also located on the ground floor is a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom fitted with a bath and washbasin. The kitchen is described as closed and basic in nature, requiring updating. The main living room is a notable feature of the ground floor, showcasing wooden ceiling beams, a wood burning stove, and an attractive view over the surrounding fields and countryside.

A glass extension has been constructed to provide a connecting passage to the side building. This side extension accommodates a large work, study, or garden room, along with a utility area and a loft space above. This arrangement adds versatility to the property and could serve various purposes depending on the needs and preferences of the new owner.

The first floor is reached via a landing that provides access to two further bedrooms, both of which benefit from high ceilings. These rooms offer flexibility for use as additional bedrooms, guest rooms, or other purposes as required.

The outdoor space surrounding this property is particularly noteworthy. At the front, the property enjoys an entirely free position with open views across the fields and bordering greenery. The long access path adds to the sense of privacy and exclusivity. A detached stone garage with space for two cars is situated on the property, measuring 45 square metres and featuring a loft and electrical connections. The garage has no insulation. Additionally there is an attached stone storage building with electricity but without insulation.

The rear of the property offers what is described as an exceptional spot for enjoying peace and nature. The garden extends around the entire property, encompassing a front garden, rear garden, and side garden. The plot consists of two separate cadastral parcels, one measuring 1,190 square metres and the other 1,970 square metres, together forming the total plot area of 3,160 square metres.
