Description
For sale: a dream opportunity for those who appreciate the good life! This top-renovated country house, complete with a beautiful additional guest house and stables, is idyllically and very quietly situated among the meadows with stunning views, on a plot of approximately 6,000 m² in Essen-Hoek. The property has undergone a total renovation, preserving its authentic atmosphere and materials, making it an ideal setting for combining living and working, care living, or simply enjoying a rural lifestyle.
Upon entering the main house, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway featuring a beautiful wooden staircase, immediately setting the warm and inviting tone of the home. The use of natural stone floors, high-quality finishes, and harmoniously matched materials throughout the house gives it a charming rural character. The large country-style kitchen is a true centerpiece, equipped with a Falcon stove (5-burner gas, 2 ovens, and a plate warmer), and includes a cozy dining area. From the kitchen, you have access to a pantry cellar, and there is a practical utility room with an elevated space for a washing machine and dryer.
The living area is both spacious and atmospheric, offering a generous sitting area with a wood-burning stove and a large dining space that exudes instant hospitality. A small wooden staircase leads to a raised room, perfect as a home office or study. An original built-in box bed in the sitting area adds a unique and playful touch. On the ground floor, you will also find a master bedroom with a luxurious bathroom, featuring a bathtub, shower, double sinks, toilet, bidet, and authentic floor tiles. Additionally, there is a separate office space, ideal for working from home.
The first floor is accessed via a playful landing with varying levels, leading to four bedrooms and a well-equipped bathroom with a bath, walk-in shower, toilet, and original tiled floors. One of the bedrooms, currently used as a fitness room, offers breathtaking views over the adjacent meadows through its large windows. There is also a wellness corner with a combination Finnish and infrared sauna, as well as another raised room. Two attic storage spaces complete the upper floor, providing ample storage options.
A major highlight of this property is the stunning outbuilding, a former barn that has been transformed into a tranquil oasis. This guest house features a cozy living area with an open kitchen, a bedroom with a mezzanine, and a bathroom. It is the perfect setting for an atelier, gallery, or an inspiring base for coaching and workshops. Alternatively, it can serve as an ideal guest accommodation, care home, or home practice, offering a wealth of possibilities for both personal and professional use.
The garden is beautifully landscaped and seamlessly integrated into the rural surroundings, offering plenty of space for relaxation and outdoor activities. The large stable, measuring approximately 900 m², can be used for storage or, with some modifications, as a hobby space for animals or other interests. The total living area of the main house, as stated in the EPC certificate, is 350 m², while the guest house offers an additional 105 m² of living space.
Daily amenities are conveniently close by, with a bakery (Tobac) in Hoek and a pharmacy in Heikant, both located even closer than the center of Essen. The property is easily accessible yet offers complete privacy and tranquility, making it a rare find for those seeking a luxurious rural lifestyle with all modern comforts.
