We would like to give you an impression of the property: You drive up the gravel driveway to the yard, where the farmhouse welcomes you with its warm atmosphere and rural charm. The atmosphere is immediately palpable: this is a place with history, but also with comfort. You enter a spacious L-shaped hall, where there is plenty of room, with built-in cupboards for storage and a large meter cupboard. The stairs to the first floor are also located here, as is the tiled toilet with washbasin. From the hall, you walk through to the living room in the rear of the house and the cozy kitchen: two living areas where the outside light and the character of the house come together. The spacious living room has impressive high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and large floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. Characteristic cast-iron skylights gently bring in the outside light. This space once served as a stable with a hayloft, but today it is an attractive living space where the past is still palpable. Large arched windows provide a beautiful view and natural light, while the French doors give direct access to the garden. The space is finished with natural tile flooring and equipped with comfortable underfloor heating. Here you can feel the seasons, from winter evenings by the see-through fireplace to summer views over the meadows. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Cozy, spacious, and in keeping with the style of the house. The kitchen is designed in a rustic style and placed in a corner. It features an induction hob with integrated wok burner, a refrigerator, dishwasher, combi-oven, and a separate steam oven. Everything you need, with all the modern conveniences. There is room for a large dining table and double doors lead directly to the living room. At the front, a few steps higher, is a cozy sitting room with French doors to the veranda. From your chair, you can look out over the Grecht, where the light falls beautifully on the water in the morning. The beamed ceiling, oak floor, and fireplace give this space warmth and character. This room feels like a nice place to retreat to, with a beautiful view that is different every day. Next to the original entrance is the former cheese cellar, still with its authentic tiling, brine tubs, and daylight coming in through the windows. Above it is the upstairs room, which is perfect as a study or guest room. This room also offers beautiful views. The second study is located on the side of the house, overlooking the dike, the front garden, and the entrance gate. It is a pleasant place to work in peace and quiet, while still keeping an eye on who is arriving. This room features characteristic elements such as panel doors and a fireplace that is still hidden behind a cove. First floor The staircase in the hall leads to the landing, where a large skylight provides light and air. On the landing, you will find a bedroom and a neat bathroom with a shower, second toilet, and sink. A few steps lead to the part above the front of the house. Here you will find two more bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a practical laundry room. An added bonus is the infrared sauna, the ideal place to unwind after a long day at work. The largest bedroom is at the front and offers a peaceful view over the water. The original panel doors have also been preserved upstairs, which enhances the charm of the house. Outdoor space The spacious plot is surrounded by water, giving you plenty of privacy. The garden is an extension of the landscape. Through the entrance gate, you drive onto the gravel path lined with beautiful hydrangeas, giant grass, and rose bushes along the entire street side. At the rear are large trees, a hedge, decorative pavers with a seating area, where you can look out over the meadows and enjoy the sun and silence under the chestnut trees. At the water's edge, the wooden deck terrace is a nice place for a cup of coffee. Its location on the waterway at the front makes this a dream spot for lovers of the outdoors and boating. On the Grecht, there is a private jetty with a swimming ladder, perfect for a dip or a quiet moment of fishing at any time of the day and, of course, mooring a (sailing) boat. The private jetty is located in open water with a connection to Woerden and a standing mast route to Amsterdam with the Nieuwkoopse Plassen just around the corner. The annex At the front of the property is a spacious annex that offers much more than just storage space. The annex actually consists of three interconnected sections, each with its own entrance, which can also be closed off from each other. The entire building is insulated, equipped with French doors and double glazing, a separate central heating system and meter cupboard (with sub-meters), hot water, various water points, sanitary facilities, electricity with three-phase power, WiFi, alarm system with video cameras, motion sensors, and smoke detectors. Commercial space The fully heated and insulated commercial space consists of a large 120m² room that can be used as an office, showroom, storage space, or playroom, for example. A spacious hallway provides access to a canteen/kitchen and toilet facilities. Garage/shed A large electric roller door provides access to the approximately 70m² garage, which offers enough space to park five cars in an insulated and heated environment. There is a wide passageway to four rooms, which are currently used as a workshop and shed. There is plenty of space for DIY projects, storage, or possibly additional commercial space. All rooms have French doors to the garden and plenty of light. On top of part of the barn space is a spacious storage attic.
