INTRODUCTION
This is where living becomes residing! The property is also ideal for a combination of living and working.

Not for nothing has this Masterpiece been awarded the honorary title of National Monument.

And with a property like this, it's like the best wines: they have to mature to come to taste. And that flavour is in there, down to the smallest detail. Situated in one of Noordwijk's most prominent spots, the building manifests itself as one of the toppers in the already not childish façade wall on the charming Lindenplein.

Feel free to take your time to look at the façade. The rich central section in the otherwise subdued facade with its exuberant 18th-century ornamentation with arched calf and fanlight with draperies at the entrance is topped by an authentic dormer. The fine cornices and no fewer than 18 rose windows complete the façade.

The facade tells a lot, but by no means everything. Anyone who now enters the property through the beautiful front door will get the surprise of a lifetime.

DIVISION
A rough impression of the layout:

GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor comprises a highly representative reception hall, kitchen diner, storeroom, living room, conservatory and family room cum billiard room.

1st FLOOR
The first floor comprises three bedrooms including the master suite with dressing room, as well as two bathrooms.

2nd FLOOR
The second floor includes a veritable Knights' Hall - a multi-purpose room - and a yoga studio, ideal for relaxation or creative activities.

BASEMENT
Of course such a magnificent building has a wine cellar.

GUEST'S STAY ANNEX GARAGE
The detached, double garage not only has a carport in addition, but also a guest house on the first floor.

A charging facility for electric cars has also been considered.

GARDEN
An eldorado, according to Van Dale "a paradise, delightful place, after the Eldorado, a mythical land where money and precious stones are said to lie by the roadside". While the latter may be a bit of an exaggeration for this property, a walk through the garden offers an unquestionably paradisiacal experience.

With a plot totalling no less than 4,448 m², this is a rarity in the middle of Noordwijk. The beautifully landscaped garden not only has a beautiful pond and its own well with sprinkler system, but also, for example, a 350-year-old Beech tree, lime trees and olive trees. This setting creates a fairy-like atmosphere not only during the day, but certainly also at night. A beautiful contrast, the play with light and dark, open and yet intimate.

From morning to evening, all year round, almost always the garden lets you enjoy the outdoors. Thus, the good things in life are experienced not only inside, but also definitely outside.

And do you want to enjoy all the beauty that the beach, sea and dunes have to offer? That's convenient, because they are also nearby.

HISTORY
Records first mention the property in 1421, when it was owned by knight Hendrik van Wassenaer. The house remained in the hands of several noble families until the 16th century. From then on, the property changed hands several times, including the rector Hendrick Swaerdecroon of Noordwijk's first Latin school and various notables from Noordwijk.

In the 19th century, the Lindenhof became the property of notary Catharinus van der Schalk and later the birthplace of Henriëtte Roland Holst, a well-known Dutch poet and politician, she spent her childhood in this house.

Until 1968, the Lindenhof was used by a notary and after that the building served as an outdoor clinic of the Academic Hospital Leiden. After the clinic closed in 1988, the house was extensively restored in detail and has been occupied by one and the same private owner ever since.

ETERNAL BEAUTY
Eternal beauty, a compliment that certainly applies to this magnificent property.

History has shown that Lindenhof House has provided many generations with space for living combined with a wide variety of activities.

Even today, this national monument still offers many opportunities for diverse uses. All it asks of its new users is respect and reverence for a history that began around 1421 and does not end in 2025.
