336 Enschedesestraat, Hengelo

NSW estate ‘De Kleine Dorst’: an exclusive, spacious country house set in over 2.3 hectares of beautiful gardens.
Where you least expect it, on the border between Hengelo and Enschede, tucked away amongst spacious plots and remarkable trees, lies this impressive country house. It stands on a plot of no less than 23,179 m² and offers a gross floor area of approximately 1,500 m² and a living area of over 1,000 m². No expense has been spared. A place where you can still dream, but where you no longer really need to. A property of this calibre, with this atmosphere, finish and luxury, rarely comes onto the market.

ARRIVAL
Every homecoming here feels like a luxury. The entrance gate opens automatically on request, and a row of stately, conical hornbeams leads you to the impressive entrance. The fountain in the forecourt is just the beginning. To access the indoor garage, follow the path down to the right. The country house dates from 2004 and boasts an impressive volume of no less than 4,569 m³. Together with the covered terraces, the indoor swimming pool, the ‘African’ lodge and the park-like garden, it forms an imposing yet charming whole.

LIVING AREAS ON THE GROUND FLOOR
Despite its generous size, the villa never feels too big. The rooms have an intimate atmosphere and are interconnected wherever possible. The kitchen enjoys an unobstructed view of the forecourt and is a favourite spot for socialising. From the lounge, you can enjoy sweeping views of the private grounds, whilst the sheltered terraces are situated at the rear.

Perhaps your perfect day begins in the conservatory, with the newspaper or the news. Here you’ll find an outdoor kitchen and a TV. Flexible walls blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, allowing you to enjoy the garden all year round. If it gets a bit cooler in the evening, heat lamps or the fireplace create a cosy atmosphere.

Thanks to the ultra-insulating glazing, it is wonderfully quiet inside, allowing you to relax in complete tranquillity. The climate control system throughout the property ensures that it remains pleasantly cool everywhere, even on the hottest summer days.

FIRST FLOOR
You can reach the first floor either by lift or via several flights of stairs. Here you’ll find the master bedroom, with a spacious and luxurious en-suite bathroom and a dressing room featuring very luxurious fitted wardrobes.

The study is also on this floor. After all, one has to work now and then, but here it’s no hardship. The study has its own facilities and offers a magnificent view. This allows you to effortlessly combine work with leisure.

In the separate bedroom wing on the west side, there are no fewer than five further bedrooms, four of which have en-suite bathrooms. This means there is always plenty of space for family and guests, without compromising your privacy.

WELLNESS AND SPORT
You’ll want for nothing when it comes to sport and wellness either. The indoor swimming pool features a large folding wall. On fine days, you can easily open up the pool to the outside, and from the adjoining terrace you’ll enjoy a stunning view over the deep garden. There’s also a pool house, a jacuzzi, a luxury sauna and a large, optimally air-conditioned fitness room. So, after a workout, you can relax in style…

BASEMENT
A staircase leads down to the fully equipped bar in the basement, perfect for hosting a big party. A fantastic place to entertain family and friends, complete with sound and cinema systems. There is also plenty of storage space, utility rooms and indoor heated garages for your entire fleet of vehicles.

TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY
All rooms feature high-tech home automation and first-class sound systems. Your safety has also been taken into account: thanks to the extensive security measures, you’ll always feel safe here. The comprehensive CCTV system is state-of-the-art and has recently been completely upgraded.

THE LODGE
At the back of the garden, a truly unique surprise awaits: an atmospheric lodge with an African flair. Beneath the thatched roof, supported by sturdy tree trunks, you’ll feel as though you’re on safari for a moment. The centrepiece is a spacious fire pit in the heart of the lodge. The lodge has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a sink and a large, professional barbecue. Through the glass doors, you step straight into the garden. Here you can enjoy time with family and friends around the crackling fire until late into the evening.

GARDEN AND PRIVATE WOODLAND
The park-like garden offers maximum privacy, with a pond and even a life-size chess set. Mature plane trees lend the garden a stately and leafy character. A special privilege is the private woodland, with footpaths along which you can truly go for a walk without ever leaving your own grounds.
Around five o’clock, everyone gathers on the terrace by the swimming pool, and friends or family join in. With good conversation and a fine glass of wine, you can watch the sun slowly set. Anyone who wishes can simply stay the night.

LOCATION
You’ll be living on the south-eastern outskirts of Hengelo, close to Twente Airport and the University of Twente. Golfers might even tee off in the morning for a 9-hole round at Driene Golf Club, just across the road. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to the A1/A35 motorway, and a ten-minute cycle ride to the lively city centre.

Hengelo, just like neighbouring Enschede, offers plenty of great shops, cosy outdoor cafés, museums and theatres. Nearby you’ll find primary and secondary schools, sports clubs and a fun theme park.
