Space, tranquility and architectural freedom in Westkapelle East

In a quiet street in the residential villa district of Westkapelle Oost, this exceptionally spacious family villa is situated on an extraordinary plot of approximately 1,500 m². The property comprises two former villa lots and therefore offers something that is becoming increasingly scarce in this area: space. Space to live, to enjoy outdoor life and, above all, to further shape the home according to one’s own vision.

The original villa underwent a major transformation in 2016. The traditional architecture was largely redesigned and combined with a pronounced contemporary extension. New aluminium windows, integrated sun screens, a new office and an entirely new floor of approximately 150 m² changed both the character and the scale of the home. The property was also thoroughly upgraded technically and energetically. At the same time, a new heated swimming pool was installed. At a later stage, the garden was further landscaped, the entire plot was enclosed and an automated entrance gate was added.

Today, the property brings together the character of the original house and the interventions carried out in 2016. Some elements were deliberately retained, while others were given a new interpretation. The result is not a completely finished end product, but rather an exceptionally spacious canvas for anyone wishing to further refine a large family home according to their own taste.

The entrance hall, with its original cloakroom cabinet, leads into the ground-floor living area. The separate guest toilet, with its vintage appearance, also still refers to the original house. Thanks to its tall windows, the generous living area enjoys abundant natural light and connects directly to the south-facing terrace and garden. The original parquet floor was carefully refreshed, giving the room additional warmth and character.

Adjacent is the spacious living kitchen with dining area and existing Poggenpohl kitchen. It is functional today, while also offering every opportunity for anyone who may later wish to create a more personal, contemporary kitchen here.

An appealing addition from 2016 is the separate ground-floor office. With its polished concrete floor and large sliding windows, this room has a distinctive character of its own. Thanks to its direct access from the paved parking area at the front, it is also ideally suited as a home office, practice, studio or professional workspace.

The ground-floor night hall leads to two bedrooms. The master bedroom has direct access to the terrace and is complemented by an en-suite bathroom. This floor also includes a second bathroom and a separate dressing room. The original staircase to the upper floor was also retained.

Upstairs, the large extension constructed in 2016 unfolds. This floor received new parquet flooring in 2026 and comprises a night hall, four exceptionally spacious and functional bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room and a generous technical storage room. The bathroom and shower room still await their final finishing; all technical provisions are already in place. For the future owner, this primarily means the freedom to determine the materials, sanitary fittings and atmosphere entirely according to personal preference.

Outside, space is once again the central theme. The large garden embraces the home and offers extensive privacy and various possibilities for enjoying outdoor life. At its centre is the heated swimming pool with a ceramic shell, controlled via Wi-Fi and heated by a heat pump. The generous south-facing terrace forms a natural extension of the living areas.

At the rear is a spacious garden storage room, forming part of the approximately 60 m² permitted pool house structure, which has currently only been partially completed. A playful wooden structure for children has also been integrated around the original pine tree. Several parking spaces are provided at the front, and the integrated garage can accommodate two cars.

Significant technical investment was also made during the renovation. The property has central heating powered by natural gas, with two separately controllable circuits: underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the upper floor and in the office. The aluminium windows on the south and west sides, both upstairs and downstairs, are fitted with integrated sun screens. Water, natural gas and electricity are equipped with digital meters.

The wet rooms are mechanically ventilated, while the bedrooms have permanent passive ventilation. The sewerage system runs via a septic tank, to which the garden storage room and future pool house are also connected. A large rainwater tank is also present. The structures of both the extension and the new upper floor were built using laminated timber construction by Derix GmbH, finished with external insulation and façade cladding.

Above all, this villa is a home for those who value space and possibilities more than a predetermined end result. With six bedrooms, generous living areas, a separate office, a double garage, a swimming pool and approximately 1,500 m² of land, the foundation is exceptionally spacious. At the same time, there are still ample opportunities to further refine the interior and complete several unfinished rooms.

A house with a history, a major transformation and, above all, a great deal of future potential, on an exceptionally spacious plot in the residential Westkapelle Oost district.
