De Oostermaat 25

Not perfect, but man oh man what a charm!

On one of the quietest spots (the entire park is super quiet) we find this renovated holiday home. You are immediately nicely outside.
The little house has been rented out with some regularity in recent years (via natuurhuisjes.nl) as a recreational home to cover the running costs, with the idea of perhaps moving in there someday. The legislation still does not allow this, so with a heavy heart, the time is slowly coming to say goodbye.

Compared to the original building, the house has been meaningfully extended and renovated with a view to sustainability (and charm). The kitchen and bathroom are reasonably recent and attractively quiet. The house is equipped with HR glass, the roof and walls are insulated, and the wood stove can raise the temperature to sauna-like values. The temperature is, however, always already okay with the central heating system.

The two available bedrooms make a stay for four people a treat, and vital extra guests could find temporary shelter in the freestanding log cabin. The drive is at least suitable for multiple cars. The garden is beautifully laid out with a view to recreation and privacy. Who wouldn't want to live here.

The park de Oostermaat dates back to the 1960s. It is a quiet park without recreational facilities but with all the more atmosphere. Nature is written with a capital letter here. For household facilities such as waste collection, a VvE has been established, which also manages the greenery around the plots. Depending on the individual's commitment to the green management committee, the park contribution amounts to about € 300 per year.

A large part of the attraction of this location is due to its location. Between the friendly and well-provided village of Westerbork and the museum village of Orvelte, and all the associated natural landscapes and sights that are within easy reach at short distance (just look it up in the atlas).

Forward, the description of the layout (although you've probably already looked at the floor plans):
Entry into the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with all necessities and has a modern appearance. In the cupboard, the central heating installation can be found, next to the washing machine. Open connection to the living room with dining area, seating area and dance area. The abundance of glass and thus the view of the garden, the wood-burning stove and the sense of security give a lasting holiday feeling. The dance area provides access to the two bedrooms and the bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity unit. In one of the bedrooms there is a hatch in the ceiling with a carpeted staircase. This provides access to an attic.

In the garden we come across various structures, including the aforementioned log cabin with a veranda. In addition, there is a wood storage area (multiple), a bike port (canopy for the bicycles) and a lockable shed.

Westerbork is a cozy and active village that offers all the amenities needed to make life enjoyable. It is centrally located in Drenthe, exactly midway between Assen, Emmen, and Hoogeveen. Groningen and Zwolle are within 40 minutes reach. Read the full description
