A rare combination of authentic charm, high-end finishes, and breathtaking views across the surrounding polder landscape. Here, you will enjoy complete peace and space, yet remain surprisingly close to all amenities, with excellent connections to Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague, Alphen aan den Rijn and Schiphol Airport. This partly thatched farmhouse has been lovingly renovated and modernised over the years with exceptional craftsmanship while preserving its character. Think plastered walls, underfloor heating, hand-made red cedar shutters, a French walnut staircase, bamboo parquet floors and industrial-style steel doors. The result: a comfortable and atmospheric home where history and modern living blend seamlessly. A Home with Endless Possibilities With a total living space of 423 m² — 288 m² of which is on the ground floor — this residence offers abundant room for generous living, working and hosting guests. The large front office/practice space is ideal for working from home, an atelier, or a professional practice, and could easily be converted into two spacious bedrooms. On the ground floor you will also find two bedrooms with their own bathroom, making it possible for a family to live entirely on this level. This space also lends itself perfectly as a fully independent guest accommodation. The luxurious master bedroom comes with a private en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room. The spacious living room at the rear offers sweeping views across the Lagewaard Polder and, together with the semi-open kitchen, forms a delightful living area. Large windows, natural stone flooring and a wood-burning stove reinforce the warm, rural atmosphere. The first floor (approx. 135 m²) provides flexible space to arrange as you wish. With the addition of skylights, another approx. 60 m² of living area could even be created here. Outdoor Living at Its Best The plot of approx. 3,100 m² is a dream for garden lovers and those who cherish the outdoors. Through the electrically operated entrance gate bearing the name Hoop Vleit Den Landman you arrive at the grounds, with a spacious front garden, double garage, storage, and several verandas — perfect for enjoying the sun and panoramic views at any time of day. Behind the house lies a wide lawn with unobstructed views over the meadows and pollarded poplars. Location: Tranquillity and Accessibility Koudekerk aan den Rijn is situated right in the middle of the Green Heart, renowned for its wide open meadows, waterways, and cycling and walking trails. Within a few minutes’ walk you will find yourself both in the countryside and at the local supermarket or bakery. Schools, childcare and sports clubs are all within walking or cycling distance. Leiden city centre is just a 30-minute cycle away, and by car the N11 and A4 motorways provide quick access to Schiphol, Amsterdam and The Hague. The planned opening of a new railway station in Hazerswoude-Rijndijk (expected in 2028) will make public transport even more accessible. This farmhouse is more than just a house — it is a place where space, peace, and quality of life come together. A unique opportunity for those seeking generous and comfortable living in the countryside, without compromising on accessibility or amenities. Curious to experience what it feels like to live here?
