Thatched 1930s Cottage Offering Exceptional Privacy in Blaricum
Tucked away amid mature greenery, just moments from woodland, heathland and nature reserves, this characterful thatched villa dating from the 1930s enjoys a wonderfully private setting. Architect-designed and extensively renovated over the years, the property has retained its original charm and distinctive character throughout. Defining features include the thatched roof, traditional multi-pane windows, striking rooflines and an appealing, playful layout that seems to wrap naturally around the garden.
Offering approximately 187m² of living space, several living and working areas, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a generous 879m² plot, Atelierweg 3 provides a surprising amount of space and versatility. The beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the property offer exceptional privacy and ensure an almost constant outlook onto greenery.
Ground Floor
The entrance opens into a spacious hallway with staircase leading to the first floor and a characterful guest cloakroom.
The living room has a warm and authentic atmosphere, featuring parquet flooring, an open fireplace and traditional multi-pane windows. From almost every angle, there is a strong visual connection with the surrounding garden.
Adjoining the living room is the semi-circular conservatory. Its extensive glazing allows an abundance of natural light to flood the space while providing beautiful views across the garden. It is an inviting place to relax, read or entertain guests while enjoying the greenery outside.
The studio can also be accessed directly from the living room. This versatile room has its own entrance from the front garden and was originally used as a kitchen. It therefore lends itself to a wide variety of uses, including a home office, consulting or practice room, studio or additional bedroom.
On the opposite side of the central hallway is the generous kitchen and dining area. The kitchen benefits from underfloor heating, a range of integrated appliances and ample space for a large dining table. French doors provide direct access to the garden and terraces at the front of the property. The rear garden can also be accessed from the kitchen, where a sheltered covered terrace provides another attractive outdoor seating area.
Ground-Floor Bedroom Suite
A connecting hallway leads to the side wing of the property, where you will find a spacious bedroom of approximately 28 sq m with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom comprising a shower, washbasin and WC.
With both a bedroom and bathroom located on the ground floor, the property is also highly suitable for single-level living. Equally, this area would make an excellent and comfortable guest suite.
First Floor
The staircase in the original part of the house leads to two bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own walk-in wardrobe. This floor also features a fully equipped bathroom with bathtub, shower, washbasin and WC.
A loft ladder provides access to attic storage, offering useful additional space.
Above the side wing is a separate study/home office. From here, there is direct access to the generous and secluded roof terrace. If desired, this room could also be used as an additional bedroom.
The various staircases and separate sleeping areas give the property an unusual yet highly practical layout, allowing living, working, accommodating guests and ground-floor sleeping to be combined with ease.
Gardens Surrounding the Property
The garden is an integral part of the appeal of this home. The 879m² plot has been carefully landscaped on all sides and, thanks to its mature planting, offers an exceptional degree of privacy. Several rooms open directly onto one of the terraces, creating a natural connection between indoor and outdoor living.
For easy garden maintenance, the property has its own private water source with irrigation system. There are also three separate storage buildings: one near the entrance at the front of the property and two in the rear garden, ideal for bicycles, garden equipment and additional storage.
