Description

Caroline has described his/her home in English.

What you will love about this home

Our home is cosy, spacious and comfortable with large windows for natural light. The living room in particular is large. In summer the sitting area is near the large, French windows with a view of the garden and the pond beyond. In winter we move the sitting area to be near the woodburning stove while the dining table and chairs move to near the garden. The modern kitchen is fitted with whatever you might need: dishwasher, fridge / freezer, cooker and oven, oven, food processor, handmixer, icecream maker etc.
The south-west facing garden is reached through the French doors and contains art, many interesting and beautiful plants,a pond and three terraces. The garden borders onto a large, ornamental, communal pond which, if you are lucky, freezes in winter when everyone comes out to skate.

What you will love about this neighborhood

Our house is located in an area away from the main thoroughfares and our roads are only used for very local traffic. At a walking distance of 5 minutes there is a small shopping centre with a baker, butcher, chemist, florist and two small supermarkets.

A little further afield (5 minutes by car or 7 by bike) there are two recreation areas with a lake, small beaches for swimming, paths around the lake, a fitness track, an area for diving and restaurants.

The centre of Hoofddorp (10 minutes by car, same by bike) has a large shopping mall, restaurants, theatre and cinema. On Fridays there is a large food market.
Hoofddorp is near the city of Haarlem (25 minutes by car, 25 by bus, 40 by bike) which has won the accolade of best city for shopping in the Netherlands, there you will be able to ‘shop till you drop’. There are many cafes, pubs, restaurants and a lot of famous museums. Haarlem is a beautiful old city with many historical monuments, among which the famous gothic Saint Bavo cathedral or the city hall with the ancient market square in the centre.

Fairly close by is also the wide, sandy beach in Zandvoort (25 minutes by car, 40 by bus, 45 by bike). This is not only a fantastic place to be in warm, sunny weather but also in autumn and winter for a bracing, stormy walk followed by hot chocolate in one of the beach cafes.

In the other direction there is the city of Amsterdam (25 minutes by car, 40 by bus, 60 by bike). The beauty, diversity and attractions of this city are possibly already known and speak for themselves.
Ans what about going to Leiden, The Hague, Utrecht, Gouda, Delft? just a 30 -50 minutes drive.
