LAYOUT
Ground Floor
The private entrance at the front of the property leads into the hallway, which provides access to the kitchen and living room. The inviting and surprisingly spacious living area is characterised by its playful layout, open-plan design and abundance of natural light. The impressive glass roof structure allows daylight to flood the room, creating a wonderful sense of space and an almost outdoor atmosphere.
The living room offers ample space for a comfortable seating area and connects seamlessly to the open-plan kitchen and dining area through a subtle change in floor level. A real eye-catcher is the distinctive freestanding fireplace, whose unique design and central position add warmth and character to the space. Combined with the exposed wooden beams and variety of materials, this creates a truly unique living environment with a warm and individual atmosphere. French doors open onto a spacious terrace and the deep rear garden.
At the front of the property is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, offering plenty of space for a large dining table. Its open connection to the living room makes it a wonderful place to gather, enjoy long dinners and make the most of everyday life.
From the living room, you enter the newly constructed extension at the rear of the property. The spacious hallway provides the perfect spot for a cosy coffee corner, with delightful views of the garden. This area also features a second bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet.
At the rear of the extension is a generously sized room, currently used as a second sitting room and art studio. French doors once again open onto a lovely terrace overlooking the water and garden. This versatile space would also make an excellent additional bedroom, guest room or home office.
First Floor
The staircase leads to the landing on the first floor, where two bedrooms are located. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive built-in wardrobe space.
The bathroom is situated at the rear of this floor and is fitted with a bathtub with shower, toilet, washbasin and connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Attic Floor
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where the third bedroom is located. The room features skylights and charming sloping ceilings, giving it a cosy and inviting atmosphere. This floor is also perfectly suited for use as a home office or hobby room.
Garden
The exceptionally deep, west-facing rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. With its lush greenery and playful layout, the garden combines paved areas, abundant planting and inviting corners in which to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Thanks to its generous dimensions, there are both sunny and shaded spots to enjoy throughout the day.
A particularly striking feature is the magnificent mature tree, whose large, overhanging branches create a natural and sheltered atmosphere. The tree also serves as a wonderful climbing tree, complete with a slide, making it a fantastic play area for children. This adventurous addition gives the garden a truly unique and playful character.
At the rear, the garden directly borders a picturesque waterway connected to the Het Twiske recreational area. This waterside setting gives the property a wonderful sense of openness and makes the garden an idyllic retreat where tranquillity, nature and outdoor fun come together.
