Singravenlaan 10

Architectural icon in Villapark Stokhorst

This unique detached architectural gem is situated in the much-loved Villapark Stokhorst, on the leafy Singravenlaan on the eastern side of Enschede. It is a truly exceptional villa with an unmistakable character. The house was built in 1963 to a design by architect Herman Haan, in collaboration with the renowned architect Jan Rietveld. Here, you will be living in a piece of Dutch architectural history, in one of the very most beautiful spots in Enschede. An opportunity like this rarely comes along.

ARRIVAL
The villa stands on a generous plot of no less than 1,667 m², surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden. The property offers a living area of 222 m² and a volume of 855 m³. Clean lines and large windows give the villa a timeless appeal. A spacious covered terrace, a generous square swimming pool and an in-house double garage with an electrically operated door complete the picture.

ENTRANCE
Upon entering, the stunning natural stone floor immediately catches the eye. It extends from the entrance hall throughout the entire living room, lending the interior a sense of tranquillity and cohesion. From the entrance hall, you also have access to the toilet, the study and the office.

LIVING AREAS
The light and spacious living room is the warm heart of the villa. On cold evenings, you can sit here comfortably by the open fire, whilst the characteristic built-in bookcase adds extra character to the room. Large windows ensure a wonderful flood of natural light throughout the day, with unobstructed views of the open garden.

The open-plan kitchen-diner with adjoining utility room offers plenty of space for family life and for entertaining family and guests.

FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, there are no fewer than four bedrooms, and a fifth bedroom could easily be created. At the end of the corridor is the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. This features a bath, a shower, a toilet and a double washbasin. Here too, large windows create a wonderfully light and open feel.

Two of the bedrooms have direct access to an en-suite bathroom. Both bathrooms were completely refurbished three years ago and feature underfloor heating and a private toilet. The bedrooms are situated along a long corridor with original, built-in cupboard space, a characteristic detail from the original design. From all the bedrooms, you can step straight out onto the spacious roof terrace, with a balcony offering approximately 68 m² of outdoor space.

SWIMMING POOL AND SAUNA
On the garden side, the covered terrace forms a natural transition from indoors to outdoors. On one side lies the unique, square, heated swimming pool, which blends seamlessly with the architecture. On the other side, you’ll find the recently fully refurbished sauna, with an adjoining changing room featuring a shower and toilet. This creates a beautiful blend of indoors, outdoors and water. The built-in double garage connects directly to this area.

LOCATION
Villapark Stokhorst is unique due to its very spacious layout and borders directly on the countryside. Wide avenues, mature trees and generous plots give the neighbourhood a green and stately appearance. Here, you can enjoy peace and privacy, whilst the centre of Enschede, schools, sports facilities, shops and major roads are all within easy reach. It is no surprise that Stokhorst is one of Enschede’s most popular residential areas.

ARCHITECTURE
The design clearly reflects the influence of De Stijl and the Nieuwe Bouwen movements. This is evident in the clean lines, the functional layout, the generous windows and the open-plan design. Light, space and sightlines take centre stage, and the indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly into one another.

The villa is listed as a municipal monument, a fine testament to its architectural value. That does not, however, mean that time has stood still here. You can adapt the interior to your own taste, and there is scope for many other requests in close consultation with the local council.
