The measurements are based on the NEN2580 standard, which is intended to provide a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area, though it does not completely eliminate differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations when performing the measurement.

The corner house format of this property means it is attached to neighboring properties on one side only, unlike mid-terrace houses which are attached on both sides. This positioning typically offers more natural light as there are windows on an additional exterior wall. In this case, the property benefits from a side garden in addition to the front and rear gardens.

The 1972 construction date places the property in an era of Dutch residential development characterized by functional family homes built to accommodate the growing post-war population. Houses from this period typically feature solid construction but may require updates to meet modern energy efficiency standards, which is reflected in the D energy label.

The presence of both a wood-burning fireplace and a gas-fired central heating system offers flexibility in heating options. The fireplace can provide atmospheric warmth in the living room during colder months, while the central heating system ensures consistent heating throughout the property. The Vaillant boiler from 2009 has approximately 15 years of service, and while this brand is known for reliability, potential buyers may wish to consider the remaining expected lifespan of the boiler when evaluating the property.

The dormer window on the second floor bedroom is a valuable addition that increases the usable floor space and headroom on what would otherwise be an attic floor with sloping ceilings. This transformation makes the fourth bedroom a genuinely usable space rather than just storage.
