Voorstraat 123628 AH KockengenKockengen Dorp

Want to live right in the heart of Kockengen’s historic center? Are you drawn to a home where a classic tiled roof, mullioned windows, and an authentic front door tell the story of the 19th century? And do you want to combine the tranquility of the Green Heart with Utrecht and Amsterdam within easy reach? Number 12 is located on the cobblestone-paved Voorstraat. It’s a house that speaks for itself: the small panes in the front door, the varied roof styles lining the street, and the wrought-iron garden gate all tell the story. Inside, approximately 100 m² of living pleasure awaits, featuring bright living spaces, two bedrooms, and a surprising amount of character. 5 REASONS WHY THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE THIS - Right in the heart of Kockengen’s historic village center - Built around 1880, with characteristic details - Approximately 100 m² of living space with two bedrooms and a spacious attic - Sheltered backyard with a freestanding stone shed - Rural living in the Green Heart, with the city and highway nearby IS VOORSTRAAT 12 YOUR NEW HOME? We’d love to take you on a tour of this home, which has been lived in with care and love. GROUND FLOOR The authentic front door with small panes provides a fitting entrance to this home. Once inside, the living room stretches out toward the front. Wide wooden floorboards run beneath your feet, and thanks to windows on multiple sides, natural light floods in abundantly. From the sitting area, you look out over the historic Voorstraat. The smoothly plastered walls and ceiling create a serene backdrop. We continue on to the kitchen-diner. Here, ochre-yellow square wall tiles give the space just that touch of character that suits the house perfectly. The bright kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, and on the other side, there’s plenty of room for a large dining table the kind of spot where coffee naturally leads into a long evening of dining. Adjacent to this is a hallway with a separate floating toilet and a practical storage room with a washing machine hookup. From this hallway, a door leads to the charming outdoor area. As is customary in a village, this door actually serves as the front door. So come on in through the back! FIRST FLOOR The staircase next to the front door leads to the first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find a landing with space for extra closets or, for example, a compact home office. There are two bedrooms. The exposed wooden roof sheathing under the mansard roof is particularly eye-catching. The beams follow the lines of the roof, while the dormer window with sash windows and an additional window provide a beautiful flood of light. The fully tiled bathroom is fully equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, sink, and wall-mounted toilet. ATTIC Need even more storage space? Above the first floor is a spacious attic: ideal for suitcases, Christmas decorations, and anything else you’d like to keep out of sight. STORAGE SHED In the backyard stands a freestanding stone storage shed of approximately 8 m² with a tiled roof. Handy for bicycles, garden tools, and extra storage. GARDEN Outside, too, the atmosphere blends seamlessly with the house. The charming backyard faces northeast and is largely paved with clinker bricks. Amid the brickwork, hydrangeas, climbing plants, and other greenery add a splash of color. A black wrought-iron fence marks the transition to the street. A sheltered outdoor space right in the heart of the village, with a strip of street space at the front as well. SURROUNDINGS Kockengen is located in the heart of the Green Heart, surrounded by water and greenery, yet surprisingly central to the Randstad. The village offers shops, elementary schools, childcare centers, restaurants, sports clubs, and De Koet Recreation Park, among other amenities. For walks or recreation, Kasteel de Haar and the Vinkeveense Plassen are nearby. Breukelen, with its NS train station, is easily accessible, and the connection to the A2 is also nearby. This allows you to combine the laid-back pace of village life with easy access to Utrecht and Amsterdam. Parking is available in public areas.
