This bungalow for sale in Diever sits on 582 m² at the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold National Park, with forest right outside the door. Built in 1965, it is a compact detached house with 59 m² of living space, two bedrooms and a woodland garden that needs little upkeep. Think of it as a forest cottage you can lock up and leave, then return to for a weekend of walking, cycling and quiet. It is sold as a recreational property, and the section on buying explains what that means in practice.
### The House: Layout, Heating and Attic
You enter through a central hallway. Off it are the meter cupboard, the first bedroom, a separate toilet and the bathroom, which has a walk-in shower, a washbasin unit, mechanical ventilation and a window for daylight. A hatch leads up to the attic. It has a standing height of about 2 metres, it is walkable, and it houses the central heating boiler. An extra bedroom or hobby room is a realistic idea for the next owner, subject to the usual permits.
At the end of the hallway is a simple, closed kitchen with a gas stove and a built-in fridge. It opens into the living room, where large windows and French doors face the terrace. The second bedroom, the larger of the two, leads off the living room and has two big windows onto the garden. Radiators heat the house, and it has double glazing and ceiling insulation. The condition is good, and the total volume is 305 m³.
On the terrace side there is an indoor storage room with double wooden doors. It is the obvious place for bicycles, garden cushions and muddy boots after a day in the woods.
