Achterhoek romance at its best - Spacious residential farmhouse 'Potman' with park-like garden Just outside Exel, in a wooded part of the countryside, stands this particularly captivating ensemble: a classic hallhouse farmhouse with wavy roofs and dormer windows. On the inside, it is a sea of space - with 268 m² of living space, six bedrooms, two bathrooms - and a garden like out of a fairy tale. Three of these six bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor, making ground floor living possible. This beautiful, attractive farmhouse, so typical of this region, dates from 1890. The farmhouse has been well maintained and the current residents also renewed the thatched roof in 2015. The location is exquisite, because the forests of the estates Ampsen, Kranengoor and Verwolde are beautiful places to walk and are just around the corner. But for that estate feeling, you don't actually have to leave the property; the generous 5,000 m² plot features various groups of trees, shrubs and a picture-perfect climbing rose that climbs the front facade. Surrounding the house is a beautifully landscaped ornamental garden, but there is also an area for romping, a field for playing soccer and a swing to swing together. Would you like homegrown vegetables? There is enough space to plant a fine vegetable garden. At night it is quiet here - wonderful. You really live outside, which also means that deer, squirrels, and all kinds of birds - from woodpecker and owl to wagtail and nuthatch - are welcome guests. Between Laren and Lochem This farm is located in the outskirts of Laren, fifteen minutes from the A1 motorway. Laren is a cozy village with a supermarket, a world-famous bakery and several restaurants and cafes whose terraces fill up at the first rays of sunlight. Lochem is a small country town and a large municipality in the Achterhoek, and has long been a popular landing place for people seeking the peace and quiet of the East. Everything can be found there: stores, restaurants, good schools, several thriving sports clubs, fine hotels, an open-air theater and a theater with a fine annual program. Lochem's train station is also just 10 minutes by bike from the Bouwhuisweg. For the sports enthusiasts among us: Laren has a wonderful outdoor pool and a tennis court, and in several places you can get on the completely renewed, challenging MTB route of up to 90 km through the surrounding forests and countryside. Want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city? Within twenty minutes you have the car parked in the heart of Zutphen; Deventer is just under 30 minutes. Ground Floor The farmhouse has - as befits a classic of this stature - a formal entrance at the front of the house for important occasions, and an entrance at the back, because then one could quickly reach the kitchen, where it was warm and the coffee was ready. In its long life, the living program has been modified considerably; the part has given way to a kitchen diner, and the original rooms in front have become a spacious living room. The front entrance leads to a spacious hall with a toilet and access to the study/potential extra bedroom. The living room has plenty of natural light partly due to the high windows and honey yellow walls. The living room has a robust wooden floor that retains the authentic atmosphere of the farmhouse. The beautiful rod divisions in the windows add charm to the living room. From the kitchen diner you have access to the utility room, which contains the connections for the washer and dryer, and an extra freezer. From the utility room you reach the first floor bathroom, with a bathtub and a washbasin. Through the intermediate hall you can reach a second bedroom equipped with spacious built-in wardrobes. The country kitchen is a generous L-shaped space and is equipped with a gas stove, built-in convection oven and dishwasher. In the dining area you have a beautiful view of the garden, through the large, French doors to the sunny terrace. On summer days it is wonderful to dine here for a long time in the evening sun. The sitting area is also bright and sunny through the glazed partial doors. In the entrance hall the stairs to the second floor, toilet and access to the master bedroom on the first floor. Upstairs Upstairs three generous bedrooms with large fitted wardrobes, two separate storage rooms and a studio at the front, which also offers the possibility of an additional bedroom. Possibly a second staircase can be realized here. Then the spacious, modern bathroom with a generous shower, a washbasin, toilet and, if desired, space for a bathtub. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Outdoor space Just slightly behind the farmhouse is an authentic detached barn. This spacious barn offers plenty of storage options; think bicycles, garden equipment, or tools. You also have the option for small livestock. Here you can stable an iconic classic car to take you on nostalgic rides. The garden offers plenty of space for cozy summer evenings. There is plenty of space for children to play and explore, while adults can enjoy the peace and privacy this beautiful setting offers. The spacious terrace, with its comfortable seating and breathtaking views of the countryside, is the ideal place to relax and enjoy long summer evenings.
