Vredenseweg 111, Winterswijk Henxel

LIVING ROOM
The Grand House' is not just a home, it is a way of life. An extraordinarily beautiful and robust residential farm with soul, hidden in a landscape that inspires the imagination. On the edge of Winterswijk, in the countryside, where the Achterhoek reveals its most picturesque face, there is a place that feels like a discovery. Here, amidst the centuries-old pastoral landscape of Henxel village, unfolds a world of rolling meadows, mystical forest edges and absolute peace. The Gossink Forest beckons on the horizon, roe deer forage in the morning light, and the silence here sounds like music to the ears.

LOOKING INWARD
We drive down the winding driveway in slow motion, flanked by old trees and rolling meadows. The car windows are slightly open, letting in the scent of forest, grass, and history. At the end of the path lies the farmhouse, majestic and inviting.

The entrance into the hall is impressive and with the elegant brick paving you immediately experience the atmosphere and character that are so typical of this house. From the hall with the guest toilet, we walk through to the spacious living room. Upon entering, they catch your eye: the impressive, centuries-old beams. Bold, solid and honest wood that tells the story of generations. These authentic elements give the space not only a monumental appearance but also a tangible soul. In contrast stands the sleek, modern plaster ceiling as a stylish contrast that ensures balance AND class. The result? A living room that feels both warm and contemporary.

At the heart of the living room, a cozy inset fireplace ensures snug evenings and an inviting atmosphere. Combine this with comfortable underfloor heating at your feet, and you know: this is not just a house, but a home where life is lived. Thanks to the generous floor-to-ceiling windows, the space bathes in natural light every day anew. You have a clear view over the surrounding landscape with an outlook that never bores. Whether it's morning mist or a sunset over the fields: the panorama is pure tranquility. The Grand House has a beautiful free-standing position, which is guaranteed by the large plot at the back bordering on woodland, set well back from the public road at the front, and flanked to either side by two private meadows.

BURGUNDIAN
The farmhouse kitchen of this place is one that you instantly embrace. Modern in design, yet with a Burgundian soul. Here style and atmosphere effortlessly come together in a space designed for togetherness. You feel it as soon as you enter: this is the beating heart of the house, where every day begins with fresh coffee and ends with a good glass of wine, surrounded by friends, family, or simply the quiet beauty of the view.

At the center stands the impressive 6-burner gas stove as a true eye-catcher and invitation to cook. The practical appliance wall forms the silent power behind the scenes; everything neatly tucked away, everything in its right place. Sharp lines and clever layout make this kitchen not only beautiful to look at but also a pleasure to work in. Floor heating ensures pleasant warmth all year round, while air conditioning helps maintain a fresh, light atmosphere on summer days. The temperature is always just right, whether you are cooking, setting an elaborate table, or simply reading the newspaper at the kitchen table.

The view over the rolling landscape completes it. Large windows bring the landscape inside. Sunlight streams across the floors, the green outside changes with the seasons, and every meal naturally gains more meaning with such beautiful surroundings. This kitchen is not just a place to cook; it is a space that invites you to stay, to live, to enjoy.

Next, we take a tour through the spacious utility room, ideal as additional workspace and for keeping household tasks organized.

GROUND FLOOR
What makes this property special is that all important living functions are located on the ground floor. Sleeping, bathing, cooking, and living! Everything is on one level, making it fully accessible for life's journey. Comfortable living now and in the future without compromising atmosphere or style. On the ground floor there are no less than five spacious bedrooms, each featuring characteristic wooden beams that beautifully maintain the original farm feel. One of the rooms has air conditioning, providing extra comfort on warm days. The luxury bathroom is generously designed with a walk-in and rain shower, double vanity sink, atmospheric lighting, and of course underfloor heating for a pleasant start or end to the day.

Via the stairs in the hallway you reach the attic floor, currently set up as a quiet study and guest room. This additional level is perfect for a home office or as a guest room with just that extra bit of charm. Additionally, there is also a spacious loft available – a nice place for extra storage or to further renovate according to your own wishes.

OUTDOOR STAY
In addition to the characteristic farmhouse, you will find Detached Residence The Grand House. A special stand-alone guest residence that effortlessly combines tranquility, space, and luxury. Here, where you look out over the Gossink estate and the Ratumse Beek gently flows past the garden, outdoor living fully comes into its own.

Through the private entrance, you step into a green oasis. The generous garden is fully enclosed and offers plenty of privacy and play space. The house is warm and stylishly furnished, with a light living room that connects directly to the terrace via sliding doors. The kitchen is equipped with all conveniences and invites long, relaxed dinners. The bathroom is luxuriously appointed, and in the private sauna you can fully relax. The cozy split-level bedroom is set up with a comfortable double bed and feels like a 'snug retreat'.

Outside you enjoy long evenings by the outdoor fireplace or barbecue while listening to nothing but the rustling of trees and the water in the stream. With walking and cycling routes right at your doorstep and the center of Winterswijk within easy reach, Buitenverblijf Het Grootenhuis is the perfect place to experience the best of two worlds: nature and comfort. The running business (including website, inventory, and booking system) can be taken over free of charge, but if you prefer to use this accommodation as an atelier, office, or annex home, opportunities are there for the taking.

Annexes
On the property there are two characterful outbuildings that not only contribute to the rural charm of the entire estate, but also offer numerous possibilities for use. At the front is a charming shed of approximately 85 m². This authentic barn, built on a solid measured foundation and equipped with water and electricity connections, breathes history and craftsmanship. Although the space is currently used as storage, the atmosphere immediately invites you to make more of it. With a bit of love and creativity, this place can easily be transformed into an inspiring workspace, a cozy workshop, extra living space or a quiet home office. Those who dream of their own practice room or a nice place for hobbies such as music, painting or woodwork will also find an excellent basis here to realize those plans.

At the back of the plot stands an impressive horse stable measuring approximately 12 by 8 meters, which, like the workshop, is connected to electricity and water and in addition is fully paved and atmospherically lit. The generous dimensions and open layout make this space extremely suitable for a variety of purposes. From parking vehicles and storing materials to keeping horses or other animals. Both outbuildings not only add functional value to the property, but above all offer space to dream, create and undertake. Whether you are looking for peace and space for yourself, a place for your passion or an opportunity to combine living and working? Here everything is open to fill it in your way.

CLOSE TO ALL AMENITIES
Winterswijk is a village with a city-like charm and facilities. A lively market square full of terraces, a wide range of shops, boutiques, and specialty stores, as well as an atmospheric cultural offering with a theater, museum, and cinema make it a place where there is always something to do. Everything is within a few minutes' reach, from the weekly market to an evening out. Whether you stop by a café for a cup of coffee or choose a good glass of wine and dinner at one of the many restaurants: it's great to stay here. The surroundings invite you to spend a lot of time outdoors. Walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers can get their hearts set on the centuries-old coulisselandschap, where every bend offers a new view. The extensive natural areas, old scholten farms, and narrow sand paths form a setting that remains fascinating in every season. Even the passionate golfer is well served here: the 18-hole golf course is within stone's throw.
