Magnificent - Beautiful country house ‘Flierderhof’ with its own forest.

Here you have all the space: the Flierderhof is a lovely country house on an unprecedented plot of almost 2 hectares. The driveway already announces the house in graceful wrought iron letters: country house The Flierderhof is a classic beauty, surrounded by a beautiful garden and its own forest.

It was built in 1935 under the auspices of architect Prof. J.G. Wattjes, who has quite a few magnificent properties to his name in this region. The design was decidedly contemporary: Wattjes chose a symmetrical design, with a picture-perfect red roof with a risalite at the front in the form of a bay window and a balcony above it, to allow maximum sunlight in. An icon in the landscape.

One out of thousands
The place is still as fairytale-like as it must have been 90 years ago, with proud beeches and stately oaks, the large terraces and expansive lawns surrounding the home. Enormous clouds of purple, pink and white rhododendrons soften the transition from lawn to forest, and through the woods wind snoozy paths. Inside the house, the views all around are fairytale-like - each window is a painting in itself. A deer in the garden is certainly not a rarity here, and a host of bird species inhabit the trees.

The house, which has a colorful history, has been lovingly lived in and maintained over the years. Over time there have been changes to the exterior - for example, the garage has been added to the house - and to the program, but always done with care and love. Today it is a well-proportioned family home (living area 193 m2), with four bedrooms, including one on the first floor, and two bathrooms.

This ensemble is matchless, a hidden paradise in the greenery of Quatre Bras. Perhaps you are looking for space to live and a home that you can completely customize... The Flierderhof is one of a kind and a wonderful opportunity - one in a million.

Quatre Bras and Gorssel
Quatre Bras is a hamlet between Eefde and Gorssel, named after the mansion that marks the crossroads here. The roads wind through the forest and here and there is a house. A little further on is the Natura 2000 area De Ravenswaarden, the floodplains along the IJssel. Quatre Bras breathes peace and quiet above all, and that just an hour from the Randstad....

The cozy center of Gorssel is ten minutes by bike. Here you will find the local supermarket, several boutiques, specialty stores such as the butcher, the wine shop with excellent cheese department, the greengrocer and the baker, as well as cozy restaurants with terraces and the beautiful Museum MORE, where we never get bored. Nature is always nearby in the form of the beautiful forests in the outskirts around Gorssel. The magnificent Gorsselse heath, which offers a different view season after season and where you can get a breath of fresh air on horseback, on foot or by bike, is just a stone's throw away.

Highways are 10 minutes away and should you miss the bustling city, both Deventer and Zutphen - two beautiful, historic Hanseatic cities - are nearby (really nearby, ten minutes by car).

Above
The bright landing is adjacent to three bedrooms. The middle room has a private balcony and the bedroom at the head on the garden side is extremely spacious due to the spacious dormer and offers surprisingly much storage space in the built-in closets.

On the landing a storage room, a separate toilet and a bathroom with shower and sink.

Outside Area
The plot with the garden and surrounding forest, measures 18,230 m2, which is impressively large. Around the house is a beautiful terrace landscaped, with space for long tables and sunny summer evenings full of fun. In the garden there is seating everywhere, and in one corner of the garden there is a large swing. Further on, the separate shed, with space for the lawnmower, garden equipment and tools. Further on the property is a simple guest house that is in need of upgrading.

The landscaping is a visual spectacle, with spacious borders, beautiful shrubs and wonderful sight lines; everything has been thoughtfully laid out with a hefty dose of green thumb. But, this garden is not just beautiful, it is also a place to play in: games of soccer, endless hide-and-seek, walks through the woods and picnics in the sun. The garden offers a favorite spot for the whole family.
