Veenweg 1, Harreveld

Astonishment
astonishment and enthusiasm take over when you drive in from the zilverbekendijk and see this beautifully situated country house approaching from a distance. we turn onto the fen road and the last hundred and fifty meters along the private driveway with lime trees is impressive. between two imposing buildings proudly flies the achterhoek flag, so characteristic of the different colors of green of the coulisse landscape, with the cross symbolizing the winding roads with rows of trees. we park the car in front of the garage and are eager to take you on a special tour. are you ready?

accomplish
before we start, a little more about the rich history. about 90 years ago, in 1935, the family of the current residents started the construction of this farmhouse. the result was impressive: distinguished, grand and very solid. at the end of the 70s, a renovation took place to make 2 living areas. later, in the nineties, the spacious garage was added and a large amount of land was purchased. in recent years, the current residents have impressively renovated, improved and preserved this country house, thus realizing their dreams in this beautiful spot.

marvel
yes, that is the word that fits well here. because that is how it starts. you have parked the car on the tightly maintained pavement and the amazement begins when you see that everything is really up and running. the sun is shining and it invites you to first take a lap around the tightly landscaped grounds. we pass a number of borders with a variety of flowers, plants and shrubs. the grass is meticulously maintained and the playful terrace with a difference in height under the imposing beech tree (planted by grandpa some 60 years ago) is a very nice place to enjoy after work. meanwhile, we enjoy the view over the adjacent meadows and the adjacent peat ditch where a heron is just spreading its wings. that something special has been created here is beyond dispute.

clarify
of course you also come for the country house. here you live, here you live and with two houses there is enough to clarify. we walk to the east side where the front door of the first house is located. in the hall we look at the toilet with fountain and the adjacent practical laundry room including sink. the kitchen at the front has been around a while and is equipped with all necessary equipment. we follow the natural stone floor (with underfloor heating) into the spacious living room where in 2000 a beautiful conservatory was built. the light enters playfully and the view of the garden is never boring. as an eye-catcher in the middle of the living room flaunts a unique glass fireplace (propane gas) that invites cozy together. we descend into the basement with standing room to then take the stairs through the hallway to the second floor. through the wonderfully spacious and bright landing, we first look at the two bedrooms at the front of the house. the panoramic view you may later experience for yourself. in the middle we dwell a little longer on the beautiful bathroom. the wonderfully spacious shower area, the second toilet and the wide washbasin cabinet with double faucet, makes it a nice place to start the day well. the electric floor heating, the tightly plastered ceilings with spotlights and the large dormer window with picturesque views of the garden and the peat gutter certainly contribute to this.
the adjacent room serves as the vestibule of the master bedroom. very practical here is the second washbasin cabinet and spacious closet. via a fixed spiral staircase we come to the second floor with landing and spacious fourth bedroom.

welcome
besides this first house we continue the round through the second living area on the west side. you can soon welcome family or friends here for a weekend, or perhaps for a longer period as tenants. and especially if you are looking for the possibility of several generations to live together, there are few comparable properties to find! here too, everything has been taken care of in 2015 and still to pass through a ring.
through the front door we enter the hall where the right is the toilet with fountain and the bathroom a door further. and with a bedroom (including closet) just opposite, this part is life proof habitable. behind the spiral staircase is conveniently hidden the laundry room. through to the beautiful kitchen where you with the first rays of sunlight the door to the veranda open. the kitchen arrangement is in two parts and equipped with all necessary equipment. the glass door to the living room behind keeps both rooms nice and light.
finally, we take the spiral staircase to the second floor where we reach a spacious walk-through room (where an additional bathroom and bedroom is possible) a second bedroom. via a loft ladder there is also a generous storage attic to reach.

rejoice
through to the outbuilding that will surely delight many viewers! in addition to the storage for two cars, which can be driven in through the electric roller doors, there is more than enough space left to give your own twist to it. so there is the technical room where the heat pump is installed. next to it there is an area created for bicycles and more of those things. and what about the extra office / hobby room with its own toilet facility? and if you have more serious business plans, the spacious attic can still be used. this is through a staircase to reach.

declare
in terms of renovations, preservation and technology used, the last few years a lot has happened and we think it is good to explain a few things. the most striking is the sleek insulated facade (stone strips) that in 2020 around the house is applied. the roof was completely renewed and insulated in 2018 and now has an rc value of 6.0. the flat roof of the conservatory was also post-insulated in 2021. the floors on the first floor (full floor heating) and especially the upper floors are well insulated. there is also in 2019 a nrgteq heat pump with horizontal ground-source system installed that provides a constant pleasant temperature and also cools in the summer. the 34 solar panels provide enough power to keep this pump running. we can be brief about the natural gas consumption: there is none. thanks to all the insulating measures in combination with the heat pump and two large electric boilers, the house is off natural gas! this all explains the beautiful energy label a++. home automation has also been thought of, which is only too convenient in daily use.

moving
why sell your house when you have everything so well taken care of? the current residents themselves say the following about this: "we have always lived here with great pleasure. we are proud of our beautiful home and still enjoy the space and freedom every day. it is wonderful to start the day here with breakfast in the sun, the twittering of birds and views of the beautiful borders. at the end of the day it is good to relax with a drink under the porch and overlooking the countryside. now we are ready for a new phase. we are going to move to live closer to the children. we are leaving behind an entire family history that is connected to this house. grandfather witnessed the original construction as a child. his children and grandchildren grew up here. with pleasure and dedication, we have worked together towards the beautiful country house as it is now. the last few years were mainly devoted to sustainability. the energy label a++ feels like a crown on our work. now there are only two of us living here. this beautiful place deserves more activity. we hope that new residents who move to the veenweg 1 will be just as happy here as we are and can make their dreams come true."

broaden
the asking price of the house includes approximately 4,200 m² of plot area as shaded as option a. of course, we can also well imagine that you are going to make your dream come true here to keep some small livestock or finally stabling your horses at home. in that case, in consultation, more land can be bought and option b (12,650 m²) or even option c (39,100 m²) can easily be chosen. or in consultation another ratio.

accompany
of course you want to see all this with your own eyes. we invite you to join us during an extensive tour. we will take our time and finish with a cup of coffee and something nice under the beech tree. see you then!
