Noord-Holland, Netherlands

In quiet and green Bergen aan Zee stands this charming spacious 1930s house with original details such as stained-glass windows, beautiful brickwork and a ‘new Piet Zwart Bruynzeel’ kitchen. The house is surrounded by a well-kept garden with several terraces, has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and is equipped with 15 solar panels and a charging station for an electric car.

Upon entering through the draught portal, the spacious hall immediately catches the eye, with a cloakroom, meter cupboard, toilet and access to the basement. From the hall, both the living room and the dining room are accessible. The living room en-suite is bright and spacious, with a bay window, built-in cupboards and a cosy wood-burning stove. French doors give access to the garden. The adjoining dining room also has French doors.

The open kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances, including a 6-burner Boretti gas hob, a Quooker and a dishwasher. Accessible from the kitchen is the utility room, with a sink, a window overlooking the garden and connections for a washing machine and dryer. Above the scullery is a practical attic space with the central heating boiler.

On the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate toilet. The largest bedroom on the garden side has an en suite bathroom with shower, toilet, washbasin and mechanical ventilation. Two other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and a fourth room has its own washbasin. The second bathroom on this floor has a bathtub, shower, washbasin and a towel radiator.

The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and, thanks to a large window, features a spacious, bright landing. On this floor there are two more bedrooms and a third bathroom with shower, toilet, and washbasin.

The garden surrounding the house offers a place in the sun or shade at any time of day, with several sitting areas and terraces. Thanks to the 15 solar panels, the house is more energy efficient.
