Detached Farmhouse with Renovation Potential and Open Views
Key Features
Description
Located along the Zuidlaarderweg in the village of Annen, this detached farmhouse occupies a prominent position on a spacious plot of approximately 1,450 square meters. The property offers unobstructed views across the surrounding countryside, providing a peaceful and private living environment. Built in 1918, the residence reflects the character of traditional agricultural buildings in this part of the Netherlands, with a pitched roof covered with clay tiles.
The current condition of the building is described as moderate, which presents a significant opportunity for buyers who wish to undertake a comprehensive renovation or modernization project. The property is being sold with an "as is where is" clause, meaning the buyer accepts the property in its present state. It is worth noting that an IMG compensation has been claimed and an SNN subsidy is available, which may provide financial benefits to the new owner in relation to certain aspects of the property.
The ground floor layout begins with a spacious entrance hall that provides access to a separate toilet. From the hall, one can reach a ground floor bedroom that features direct access to the garden. This bedroom connects to a multifunctional room that could serve various purposes depending on the needs of the new owner. From this multifunctional space, there is access to a substantial attic area that offers considerable potential for conversion into additional living space.
The kitchen is situated adjacent to the entrance hall and provides access to the bathroom, which is equipped with a shower and a washbasin. The meter cupboard and a cellar are also accessible from the central hall. The living room is positioned to take advantage of the pleasant views over the garden and the surrounding fields. From the living room, there is access to an additional multifunctional room, and adjacent to this is a generous storage closet or built in cupboard.
The upper floor is reached via a staircase from the ground floor, leading to one bedroom. A second staircase provides access to two further bedrooms and additional storage space. In total, the property offers four bedrooms, which, combined with the potential to convert the attic space, could provide even more accommodation if desired.
The exterior of the property is equally noteworthy. The large garden surrounds the house on all sides, including a front garden, rear garden, and side garden. Multiple seating areas have been created, and there is a terrace where one can enjoy the outdoor space. A small pond adds a decorative element to the garden. The plot is bordered by open fields, ensuring that the views will remain unobstructed and contributing to the sense of tranquility and privacy.
An outbuilding is located adjacent to the main residence, currently suitable for storage or as a workshop space. This building could potentially be adapted for other purposes depending on the requirements of the new owner. Additionally, there is an attached stone garage with capacity for one vehicle. Parking on the property is therefore available on the private grounds.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an E energy label. The windows feature double glazing, and heating is provided by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the current proprietor. Hot water is also supplied via this boiler system.
The cadastral registration shows that the property consists of two parcels: one measuring 1,350 square meters and another measuring 100 square meters, both held in full ownership. The total usable living area is 165 square meters, with an additional 69 square meters of other indoor space. The total volume of the building is 837 cubic meters.
Annen itself is a village with an active community life. The central square known as the Brink is within walking distance and hosts numerous activities throughout the year. The village offers a range of amenities including a small shopping center, restaurants and cafes, a primary school, childcare facilities, playgrounds, sports clubs, an outdoor swimming pool, and primary healthcare services. For more extensive facilities, the larger cities of Groningen, Assen, and Zuidlaren are readily accessible by both private and public transport.
The natural surroundings of Annen are particularly attractive. The village borders the State Forests and various nature reserves, and is situated near the Drentsche Aa area, which is known for its scenic landscapes. Numerous walking and cycling routes can be found in the immediate vicinity, making this an appealing location for those who enjoy outdoor activities.
This property represents a genuine renovation project in a desirable location. The combination of a spacious plot, open views, and the potential to create a personalized living space makes this farmhouse an interesting proposition for buyers with vision and the willingness to invest in a comprehensive refurbishment. The asking price is 465,000 euros, payable by the buyer as costs are for the account of the purchaser. Transfer details can be discussed and agreed upon between the parties.
