Hidden in the greenery, on the glistening waterway of the Vrouwenweg, lies a unique double plot that steals the heart of anyone who loves peace, space and character. With a fixed and a charming drawbridge you enter a world where outdoor life goes hand in hand with comfort and style. This is not just a home, this is a way of life.

Central to the site is a characterful farmhouse that offers a warm welcome. Inside you will find a spacious kitchen where cooking and living is done, an attractive dining and sitting room, a practical work or bedroom on the ground floor, and a double bathroom with separate toilet. Via a fixed staircase you reach the first floor, where four comfortable bedrooms are located – each with their own charm and view of the surrounding greenery. The atmosphere is homely and steeped in history, with enough space for the whole family and more.

But there is more: a cozy clog shed with laundry facilities, a living barn with its own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom – ideal as a guest house or independent living space – and an outbuilding with four bedrooms, its own bathroom and toilet. Perfect for a B&B, home care or as a kangaroo home for parents or children.

Around the yard, sunny terraces, shady trees and extensive lawns alternate. There is a glass greenhouse for those who love greenery, an animal meadow, a chicken coop and several sheltered places to enjoy long summer evenings, barbecue with friends or simply watch the boats sail by. With space for up to five boats, the water here is your backyard.

From idyllic tranquility to lively togetherness, from private residence to rental or multi-generational living – the possibilities are endless here. A place like this rarely comes on the market.

Vrouwenweg is idyllically situated on the edge of the city, in a rural and watery area that combines peace and nature with excellent accessibility. The house borders directly on the waterway of the Vliet, which gives you easy access by boat to the city centre of Leiden, the Kagerplassen and the Vlietlanden recreation area. The extensive Polderpark Cronesteyn is just a few minutes’ walk away, a 90-hectare nature reserve with meadows, marshes, walking and cycling paths, off-leash areas for dogs and an ecological garden. The park also offers catering establishments such as De Tuin van de Smid, an organic tea garden with petting zoo and nature playground.

Despite its rural location, accessibility is excellent: the A4 and N11 are just a few minutes’ drive away, meaning that cities such as The Hague, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport can be reached within approximately 25 minutes. Leiden Lammenschans railway station and the historic city centre can be reached within 15 minutes by bike. Vrouwenweg itself is a quiet, dead-end road with mainly local traffic. The combination of nature, waterways and central location makes this location unique for those looking for the best of both worlds.

Situated in the heart of historic Leiden is the atmospheric Langebrug, a street with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally a canal, known as the ‘Vollersgracht’, this area was the domain of craftsmen such as weavers and spinners. In the 17th century, the canal was covered, leading to the formation of the current street, which has remained an important link in Leiden’s vibrant city life ever since. Surrounded by monumental buildings and steeped in history, the Langebrug offers a unique combination of authentic charm and urban dynamism.

This magnificent national monumental mansion, located in the heart of the city, offers unprecedented opportunities for both living and working. The building, with its impressive facade and characteristic details, houses a ground floor and basement that are ideal for a business or practice space, while the upper floors offer the perfect living environment. The first and second floors have been carefully preserved, with a beautiful, visible roof construction that gives the building a special atmosphere and space. In addition, a spacious loft has been created in the high roof, which offers extra possibilities for storage or as a unique workplace. The high ceilings on the ground floor and 2nd floor give the spaces even more cachet. This mansion is a great opportunity for the buyer who is looking for a characteristic property with potential, which combines the rich history of the building with modern possibilities.

The building was completely renovated in the 1980s in a fully documented manner. The drawings and many photos of this are available.

In its current state, it is possible to use a commercial space on the ground floor and basement, as well as an independent living space with its own kitchen and bathroom on the first and second floors.

Living on the Langebrug means:
The perfect start to your day: Start your morning with fresh coffee and crispy rolls from the bakery around the corner.
Authentic cosiness: Within walking distance you will find the two weekly markets with local delicacies, fresh flowers and artisanal products.
