Veenhoopsweg 59

The New Peatheap

A unique chance to live royally in a building with a rich history.
And that on a unique location with direct access to extensive natural areas such as the Hardersbos, Kyllotsbos and Hijkerveld. The house is located at the edge of a quiet village, where all daily amenities, such as a shopping center, primary schools and sports facilities, are within walking or cycling distance. But also Assen with its city amenities and NS station can be reached by car within 10 minutes.

Modern interpretation
In the past years, ‘De Nieuwe Veenhoop’ has been used as a family house. After ceasing this use, the current owners have used the property entirely privately as a residence.
The property is well maintained and due to the spacious layout and internal design of the property, it is possible to accommodate 2 families. Even with a few small additions, a filling with 2 'kangaroo houses' is conceivable. Plenty of space and possibilities.

History
Veenhoopsweg 58-59 has a rich history. Initially, the building served as a residence and was named ‘Nieuwe Veenhoop’. This function was combined with that of the town hall of Smilde until 1873. The building was put into use in 1874 as a Christian primary school with a teacher's house. In 1911, the board of the Smilde Christian Education Association requested the municipality to allow them to split the property into two houses.
The building has been designated as a Provincial Monument by the Province of Drenthe and registered under PM-1-0159

What is happening with the neighbors?
Veenhoopsweg 60 Smilde is the former Christian primary school that has been used since 2020 as a location where people can live in a 'protected' environment based on 24-hour support (Woon met Ons). Care is provided here to a maximum of 8 people. It is a location with a quiet group of residents, partly because there are two managing couple living on the premises.

And what about number 58?
Access to number 58 is on the north side of the building. The current use / layout of number 58 is as follows: a living room/bedroom, kitchen area and via a hall / back entrance to the bathroom and private garden as well as the use of part of the storage.
