Spacious terraced house with annex in the heart of Voorhout
Key Features
Description
This distinctive terraced house, built in 1925, stands on Boekhorstlaan in the center of Voorhout and presents a rare opportunity for those seeking generous living space with versatile options. The property offers a total living area of 206 square meters, complemented by 31 square meters of additional indoor space, all situated on a plot of 154 square meters.
The main residence spans two floors and features an impressive five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three kitchens, making it exceptionally well-equipped for larger families or those wishing to generate rental income from a separate annex. The construction year of 1925 reflects the character of traditional Dutch architecture, enhanced by modern updates including roof and wall insulation.
Upon entering the main house, residents arrive in a welcoming entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a practical storage area, and a guest toilet. The ground floor opens into a spacious living room characterized by abundant natural light streaming through windows positioned on both sides of the property. Adjacent to the living area sits a contemporary open-plan kitchen, fully equipped with built-in appliances comprising a gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, oven, and refrigerator.
French doors from the living room lead to an attractively designed garden spanning approximately 45 square meters, oriented toward the southwest to maximize afternoon and evening sun exposure. The garden features a mix of tiled and landscaped areas, providing flexibility for outdoor dining, gardening, or children's play.
The property includes a substantial annex connected to the main house, offering independent living potential. Upon entering the annex, residents find themselves in a second living space with an additional open kitchen equipped with a hob and extractor. A first bathroom serves the annex with a walk-in shower, vanity unit, and toilet. Adjacent to this bathroom, the central heating system is housed. A hallway leads to several storage rooms that could readily be repurposed as a home office, hobby room, or additional sleeping quarters.
The first floor of the main house accommodates four generously proportioned bedrooms, ensuring ample space for family members or guests. The landing provides access to all rooms along with valuable built-in storage cupboards. A second bathroom serves the primary sleeping area, fitted with a shower, toilet, double vanity unit, and dedicated connections for a washing machine and dryer. One bedroom includes practical built-in storage, while another features a skylight bringing additional daylight into the space.
A third bedroom on this floor offers access to a third kitchen and a third bathroom, creating potential for independent living quarters within the main house. This final bathroom includes a walk-in shower, vanity unit, bathtub, and toilet, providing comprehensive facilities throughout the property.
Energy performance is supported by an B energy label, achieved through roof and wall insulation. The main house benefits from a Vaillant combination boiler dating from 2014, while the annex is served by a separate central heating system installed in 2022 along with a boiler, ensuring reliable hot water and heating throughout both sections of the property.
The setting proves particularly advantageous for daily life. The property overlooks a quiet road while remaining within the vibrant center of Voorhout. Essential amenities lie within easy walking distance, including supermarkets, boutique shops, diverse dining options, and Voorhout railway station providing direct connections to Leiden, Amsterdam, and The Hague. Families appreciate the proximity to schools and playgrounds in the neighborhood. Road access proves excellent, with major routes connecting to surrounding cities within minutes.
