Charming Starter Apartment in Converted Flour Mill with Rooftop Terrace

This starter apartment is located at Comriekade 11-C in the village of Woubrugge, situated in the municipality of Woubrugge. The property is housed in a building that originally served as a flour mill for a local bakery, giving the residence a distinctive historical character that sets it apart from standard apartment buildings.

The apartment is located on the second floor and is accessible via an iron staircase situated in the alley next to the bakery. Upon entering through the front door, you arrive in the hallway which provides ample space for a coat rack or wardrobe. The hallway serves as the central point of the home and offers access to the living room, bedroom, separate toilet room, and the open kitchen. Additionally, there is a loft space (vide) present which provides extra storage capacity.

The toilet room is finished with neutral white tiles and is equipped with a wall-hung toilet. The kitchen was installed in 2017 and features an L-shaped layout. It comes equipped with built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combination microwave, and dishwasher. This setup makes the kitchen functional and suitable for daily meal preparation.

The living room is a notable feature of this apartment due to the presence of the characteristic wooden beams that are visible throughout the space, reflecting the building's industrial heritage as a former flour mill. There is sufficient space to create both a comfortable seating area and a dining area. The room benefits from skylights that allow natural light to enter the space. An air conditioning unit is installed to provide cooling during the warmer summer months. A door in the living room provides direct access to the rooftop terrace.

The bedroom is of full size, making it suitable for a double bed and additional furniture. A characteristic wooden sliding door connects the bedroom to the bathroom, maintaining the historical aesthetic of the property.

The bathroom was renovated approximately one year ago, although the shower cabin is older than the rest of the bathroom. The space features a modern walnut wood vanity unit with a matching mirror. The walls have a neutral finish. The connections for a washing machine and dryer have been neatly integrated into the bathroom layout.

The rooftop terrace is positioned on the northwest side of the building and offers a spacious outdoor living area. An outdoor kitchen has been installed, along with a seating area, making it suitable for spending time outdoors during the summer months.

From a technical perspective, the property features plastic window frames (kunststof kozijnen) throughout, which require less maintenance than traditional wooden frames. The roof was renewed in 2017. The apartment has an A+ energy label, indicating relatively good energy efficiency for a building of this age. Heating is provided by a heat pump (warmtepomp), and hot water is generated by an electric boiler. The property also has solar panels installed.

The building dates back to 1920, which contributes to its character but also means that certain historical elements have been preserved during renovations. The property is classified as existing construction (bestaande bouw) and is offered partially furnished (gedeeltelijk gestoffeerd).

In terms of measurements, the living area is 55 square meters. There is an additional 14 square meters of indoor storage space (overige inpandige ruimte) and 17 square meters of outdoor space attached to the building (gebouwgebonden buitenruimte). The total volume of the apartment is 162 cubic meters.

Woubrugge is a village located in a green and central area. The immediate surroundings offer various amenities within close proximity, including a primary school, a playgroup (peuterspeelzaal), and childcare facilities. The village center is nearby and includes a supermarket, local shops, and various specialty stores. For those interested in local products, the area features a cheese farm, an asparagus farm, and a vegetable farm.

The location also provides access to sports clubs and recreational opportunities. The Braassemermeer lake is in the direct vicinity, which is a popular destination for sailing, boating, and other water sports activities.

Despite the rural and quiet residential setting, the property offers good accessibility. The N446 and N207 roads provide connections to cities such as Alphen aan den Rijn, Leiden, The Hague, and Schiphol Airport. Public transportation options are also available in the area.

Parking is available on the public streets surrounding the property.

The property is part of a Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE). The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance. These are all positive indicators of an active and well-organized VvE.

The property is offered at an asking price of 295,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,364 euros per square meter of living space. The purchase price is subject to buyer's costs (kosten koper). The acceptance date can be negotiated. The property is offered with full ownership rights (volle eigendom). The cadastral designation is WOUBRUGGE B 5151.

This apartment may be particularly appealing to first-time buyers or individuals seeking a compact home with character. The combination of historical elements such as the wooden beams, modern amenities including air conditioning and a heat pump, and the outdoor terrace creates a distinctive living environment. The location offers a balance between a quiet village setting and accessibility to larger urban centers in the Randstad area.

Potential buyers should note that access to the apartment requires climbing an iron exterior staircase, which may be a consideration for individuals with mobility limitations. The property has one bedroom, which limits its suitability for households requiring multiple bedrooms. The bathroom renovation was partial, with the shower cabin being older than the rest of the bathroom fixtures.
