Historic Canal-Side Terraced House with Renovation Potential in Nieuwpoort Fortifications

This charming terraced house, dating back to approximately 1890, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in the picturesque fortress town of Nieuwpoort. Located directly along the canal in the heart of the historic fortifications, this property combines architectural character with exceptional potential for those willing to undertake a renovation project.

The property immediately stands out with its traditional facade and prime position alongside the water. Situated in one of the most beautiful streets of Nieuwpoort, the home enjoys views of the historic canal and charming streets lined with monumental buildings. The surrounding area offers a peaceful atmosphere while maintaining easy access to modern conveniences.

Internally, the house extends to 89 square meters of living space across two floors. The ground floor features an entrance hall with meter cupboard and staircase leading to the first floor. The living room is an inviting space with a fireplace and connects through double doors to the kitchen. The closed kitchen is currently equipped with a basic setup and provides access to the rear garden. Also on this level is the bathroom, which includes a shower, sink, and toilet, as well as a separate storage room with washing machine connection.

The first floor is accessed via a landing which leads to a roof terrace situated above the garage. An additional sink is available on the landing. This floor houses three bedrooms, though it should be noted that the floor is uneven and will require attention during the renovation process.

The property requires significant modernization, making it an ideal project for those looking to customize a home to their exact specifications and preferences. Currently, the building is listed on the municipal monument register, but the municipality of Molenlanden has sent notification that the property will be removed from this list, which may provide more flexibility for renovation work.

The outdoor spaces are particularly appealing. The west-facing rear garden measures 112 square meters (16 meters deep and 7 meters wide) and features paving, a lawn, and border planting with various greenery and climbing plants. A special feature of this property is the stone-built garage (approximately 25 square meters) attached directly to the house. The garage is equipped with a steel tilting door, sink, and electricity. There is also an access path from the Binnenhaven, allowing you to drive your car to the rear of the property—a rare and practical feature in the fortress area.

The Binnenhaven street is one of the most attractive locations in Nieuwpoort, offering views of the historic canal and picturesque streets with magnificent monumental buildings. The property is also just a short distance from the city walls, where a flock of sheep still grazes the slopes today. Despite its historic setting, the location offers modern convenience, with a small shopping center including a supermarket just outside the fortifications. For more extensive urban amenities such as shops, theater, and cinema, the fortress city of Gorinchem and the silver city of Schoonhoven (accessible by ferry) are easily reachable.

Nieuwpoort's central location within the Netherlands is another significant advantage, with Utrecht and Rotterdam both reachable within approximately 45 minutes. This combination of historic charm and modern accessibility makes the property particularly attractive.

Technical aspects of the property include partial double glazing and central heating provided by an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler installed in 2024, which is included in the purchase. The roof is a mansard type covered with tiles. The property sits on a total plot of 210 square meters with a volume of 385 cubic meters.

The property is being offered with a guide price of €399,000 costs for the buyer. The asking price per square meter is €4,483. The acceptance date is by agreement. The cadastral data shows two parcels: NIEUWPOORT B 1183 (109 square meters) and NIEUWPOORT B 1325 (101 square meters), both in full ownership.

This property represents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character and potential in one of the Netherlands' most distinctive historical locations. The combination of its canal-side position, the rarity of having a garage in the fortress, and the possibility to create a completely personalized living space makes this a particularly special offering in the current real estate market.
