The perfect combination of classical beauty, contemporary design and optimal living comfort - Monumental villa ‘De Linde’ in the heart of Groenlo

A picture-perfect, monumental villa in the centre of Groenlo is the best way to describe ‘De Linde’. The house with the turret not only overflows with romantic charm, it has also been renovated in recent years and looks like a jewel in the crown. Everything about this house is just right.

Nothing more to do!
The house has a substantial living area, of 281 m2, and stands on a plot of 1,500 m2 on the dot. So this classic beauty is generously proportioned, with a spacious plot, but everything is also right under the bonnet. The villa was built in 1907, in the then much-loved chalet style. The renovation was done both inside and on the exterior: the wooden gable tops and overhangs were partially replaced, and the rafter construction in the upper bedroom was also nicely brought into view.

Since the house had a moderate energy label, it was also decided to make it considerably more sustainable: a ground-mounted solar panel installation was therefore set up in the large garden. The windows and roofs were also insulated, and the climate system was optimised with the use of two air-conditioning units and two separate heating systems. All the woodwork and walls are tightly painted and all the original details are beautifully highlighted. In short, this house takes the term ‘move-in ready’ to the next level.

Groenlo
Groenlo is an old town in the Achterhoek, full of history and charm. Not only can the spirit of Gelre be felt in the old town centre, which still has the shape of the old fortress, but every other year the Battle of Grolle, in which the Siege of Groenlo in 1627 is re-enacted by thousands of enthusiasts, has the same outcome every year, as the Spaniards lose.

Of course, this town also bustles during the rest of the year; there is a varied offer of nice shops, restaurants, businesses, schools and sports clubs. The city is the birthplace of Grolsch beer - something the local museum tells a great story about. In addition, Doetinchem, Enschede and Winterswijk are half an hour's drive away. In short, there is a lot to enjoy in the Achterhoek!

Welcome to Villa De Linde
Although the front door is on Winterswijkseweg, the driveway is on Groeneweg. There is a beautiful detached garage and space to park several cars. The entrance is at the front and starts with a vestibule. Following this is the impressive hall, with the original ‘terrazzo’ floor and the beautiful stained-glass windows in the skylights. In the hall are the entrances to the living spaces on the ground floor, the WC, the spacious cellar and the staircase. To the rear, access to the guest house/ bedrooms on the ground floor.

From the hallway, immediately to the left is the lounge, a spacious sitting room that also serves perfectly as an office. On the floor is a low-maintenance and very strong PVC floor and at the front there is a sunny bay window.
To the right is the spacious, L-shaped living room. Impressive throughout! On the floor is a travertine floor, which nicely matches the stately ambience. The large fireplace houses a gas stove, so when it is chilly, this is an excellent place to be. There is a large dining table and the charming conservatory is a lovely corner in the sun, with access to the garden through the French doors.

To the left at the rear is the kitchen, brand new and SO beautiful! The kitchen is sleekly designed, with a dark stone floor, matt black fronts and with black hand-formed tiles as a backdrop. There is a kitchen island with a bar and a kitchen unit with a sink and 3-in-1 boiling water tap. There is a four-burner induction hob from Bora with the signature downdraft extractor. The kitchen continues into the utility room, where you will find the fridge and the technical room (central heating).
In the back house, a guesthouse has been set up; complete with its own entrance, cloakroom, living room, bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC and washbasin, and two generous bedrooms.

Upstairs
On the first floor, a sunny landing with access to the large roof terrace. Here there are two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom that seems to come straight out of a boutique hotel: with beautiful mosaic tiles, a double washbasin, a spacious walk-in shower with double rain showers and a WC.

The staircase runs up the turret and leads to a small tower room.

From the middle room, a staircase leads to the attic, where the master bedroom is located. And this room is indeed the epitome of romance! The curved rafters, on which the roof leans, form a beautiful entourage. The room has a spacious walk-in closet, access to the storage attic in two places and a separate WC.

Outdoor space
The house stands on a generous plot of 1,500 m2. The garden faces exactly south and is already as carefully and thoughtfully designed as the house itself. At the far end, a flowerbed has been laid out for the ground installation of the 25 solar panels.

There is a terrace overgrown by wisteria and there are gorgeous lawns. The second terrace gets the lee of six umbrella trees. The man-sized beech hedge gives you lovely shelter here.

Behind the house is the garage in the form of a drive-through shed, with space for bicycles, workbench, garden equipment, etc., etc.

In short
Perhaps villa ‘De Linde’, the house with the little tower, has always been on your wish list. Have you become curious about this beautiful house? We would love to take you for a visit.
