A dream in the Twente countryside: residential farm Weerseloseweg 271

A poetic fusion of history and contemporary comfort, there she is, the beautiful residential farm on Weerseloseweg 271, tucked away amid the rolling nature plots of Hof Espelo estate. This unique estate, located on the northeast side of Enschede, offers the best of both worlds: a serene rural setting a stone's throw from city conveniences. Here you live in luxury and cosiness, without compromising the character and nostalgia the property carries.

The farmhouse was renovated with love and craftsmanship in 2001. In the process, the architectural details of days gone by were cherished: thick trusses that remain visible, high ceilings and authentic brickwork. All in complete harmony with contemporary standards. The surrounding yard of no less than 7374 m² provides space for beautiful gardens, a meadow and characteristic outbuildings - an ode to the Twente cultural landscape.

A peek behind the front door
The heart of the farmhouse: an interplay of light, space and nostalgia.

Ground floor:
The front door opens into a spacious hallway, where you will breathe the atmosphere of security and warmth. From here you enter the dining room, equipped with a crackling wood-burning stove and wide oak floorboards. The high ceiling, with robust beams and trusses in sight, connects this room to the country kitchen, richly equipped with modern comforts and lovingly finished details. A utility room offers practical household space. Also on the ground floor is a generous bedroom with en-suite bathroom, including shower, washbasin and toilet. For those who want to enjoy the surrounding greenery, the garden-oriented living room, with fireplace and study, is the place to be. Here, the interplay of parquet floors, high ceilings and exposed beams takes living to a higher level.

First floor:
A wooden staircase takes you to the first floor. Here you will find a landing that unlocks two cosy bedrooms with storage space. A second bathroom completes the comfort, equipped with bath, shower, sink and toilet.

Special outbuilding: character and versatility
The adjacent outbuilding, also renovated with care in 2001, is a stylish extension of the farmhouse. This multi-purpose building exudes ambience and robustness, with a design that provides a home for living, working and hobby alike. Equipped with modern facilities, including its own central heating system, insulation and tiled floors, the building can easily serve as an office, guest house or independent living space.

Layout of outbuilding:
Ground floor: A bright entrance with toilet leads to a spacious office equipped with pantry. The indoor garage is fully insulated and easy to convert into additional living space.
First floor: A large open space offers endless possibilities: from bedrooms to an extra bathroom.

The yard: living landscape
The farmhouse is situated in a yard as one knows it only from paintings. Ornate borders, wide lawns and trees full of fruit and nuts adorn the property. For animal lovers there is a meadow with stables, ideal for small livestock or a horse. Here, among the terraces where the air smells of flowers and tranquillity is a constant guest, life automatically becomes easier.

Sustainability and future
Besides authenticity, this residential farmhouse is also prepared for the future. Sixteen solar panels contribute to lower energy costs. Both buildings have their own central heating system (renewed in 2023), and insulation meets modern requirements. The energy label B emphasises the sustainable vision of the current residents.

Land and long leasehold
Located on the grounds of the Overijssel Landscape Foundation, the farmhouse is offered with a ground lease right for 30 years. With an initial fee of €12,000 per year, you will enjoy exclusive rights to this unique piece of Twente. The possibilities for an appurtenant arrangement under the Nature Conservation Act 1928 not only make it attractive, but also fiscally advantageous.
