Geocode 8401AT to obtain the coordinates.

Reverse-geocode (6.0651336,52.9982501) to obtain the address details

   address = Het Weike 3-33, 8401 Opsterland, The Netherlands

   AdministrativeArea.Locality.LocalityName = Opsterland
   Locality.DependentLocality.DependentLocalityName = Gorredijk
   DependentLocality.Thoroughfare.ThoroughfareName = Het Weike 3-33

Remove the numbers from the ThoroughfareName, if any, and insert your 
house number.

That may not always work. If the reverse geocode only produces results 
of accuracy 5 or less, then there'll be no ThoroughfareName returned.

If NL postcodes include more than one street, then you might get the 
wrong one. For example, 8401AT also includes Easterein. This technique 
doesn't produce a list of the streets within a postcode, just the street 
that's nearest to the centre of that postcode region. So you can't even 
offer a list [Easterein 12 / Het Weike 12] for your users to choose 
from.

Note: Do check whether your use of the service complies with the Terms.
