This detached property is located at Castricummer Werf 14 in the municipality of Castricum, situated in the province of Noord-Holland. The property presents a unique opportunity to combine residential living with commercial or business activities on a single premises. Located on the edge of Castricum at the small-scale business park called De Castricummer Werf, this free-standing house was originally built in 1988 and has since been modernized and extended over the years to reach its current form.

The residential portion of the property offers a generous living area of 242 square meters spread across two floors. The ground floor features a particularly spacious living room that provides pleasant views over the rural landscapes of the Castricummerpolder. Adjacent to the living room is a fully equipped kitchen that was installed in 2017, complete with a large washing island that serves as a central feature of the space. The entire ground floor benefits from tiled flooring with underfloor heating, ensuring comfortable temperatures throughout the colder months. A wood-burning fireplace in the living room adds to the cozy atmosphere during winter evenings.

Also situated on the ground floor is an office space that provides direct access to the commercial area of the property. Additionally, there is a room that has been creatively arranged as a bar area, though the layout offers the possibility to convert this space into a fourth bedroom complete with its own bathroom facilities if desired. This flexibility makes the property suitable for various lifestyle configurations and family needs.

The first floor of the residence contains three bedrooms and a complete bathroom. The bathroom is well-appointed with a bathtub, a shower corner, a second toilet, and a washbasin cabinet. One of the bedrooms on this floor provides access to a rooftop terrace measuring approximately 26 square meters, offering outdoor space with views of the surrounding area. The roof features two dormer windows that contribute to the character and natural light in the upper floor rooms.

The electrical installation throughout the house consists of 15 circuit groups, an earth leakage switch, and three-phase power supply, which is more than adequate for modern household requirements. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Calenta gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2014 and is included in the purchase. The property has achieved an energy label C rating, supported by insulation measures that include roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation.

This garden is oriented towards the southeast, benefiting from morning and early afternoon sunlight. The garden is accessible via a rear path and offers views over the adjacent agricultural lands. A detached wooden storage shed provides additional space for garden equipment and other items. Parking is available on the property's own grounds.

The commercial section of the property is directly accessible from the public road via two electrically operated overhead doors with an entry height of approximately 5 meters, making it suitable for vehicles of considerable size. A separate pedestrian door provides additional access. The business hall is divided into two main sections measuring 19.59 meters by 5.86 meters and 14.70 meters by 5.89 meters respectively. Both sections feature a mezzanine floor level.

The mezzanine floors currently house two apartments that have been finished to a modern standard, measuring 86 square meters and 87 square meters respectively. These spaces could potentially serve various purposes, including rental income, employee housing, or could be reconfigured for storage or office use depending on the needs of the new owner. The ground floor of the commercial area includes toilet facilities.

The possible uses for the commercial space are diverse and could include a showroom, production area, office space, storage facility, or vehicle parking for items such as classic cars. The zoning on the business park allows for various commercial activities, though specific uses would need to be verified with the local municipality.

The total plot size measures 670 square meters, providing ample space for both the residential and commercial functions of the property. The property is registered in the land registry under section CASTRICUM B 10995 with full ownership rights.

Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests during the transaction process.

This property represents a distinctive opportunity for entrepreneurs, professionals working from home, or families seeking a live-work arrangement in a location that combines the practicality of a business park setting with views of the surrounding countryside. The combination of a well-maintained family home with substantial commercial facilities on a single plot is relatively uncommon and may appeal to buyers with specific lifestyle or business requirements.
