Characterful 1930s Terraced Home with Authentic Details and Energy Label A
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A achieved through a combination of solar panels, HR++ glazing, roof insulation, and a hybrid heat pump system from 2014, resulting in low energy costs and a sustainable living environment.
- Authentic 1930s character elements have been carefully preserved throughout the property, including colorful stained glass windows in multiple rooms, panel doors, original wall tiles in the hallway and kitchen, and original floor tiles in the entrance.
- The first floor landing provides access to a flat roof with the potential to create a roof terrace, offering additional outdoor living space without requiring garden expansion.
- The southwest-facing backyard features mature fruit trees including a pear tree, fig tree, and apple tree, along with a grapevine-covered pergola, providing an established and private garden setting.
- The stone outbuilding at the rear of the garden is equipped with both electricity and heating, making it suitable for use as a workshop, hobby space, or additional storage beyond what a typical garden shed would offer.
Downsides
- Parking is only available via permit, which may involve waiting periods, costs, and limitations on the number of permits per household depending on local municipal regulations.
- The third bedroom is located on the second floor in a converted attic space, which typically means sloping ceilings and less headroom compared to the bedrooms on the first floor, potentially limiting usable space and furniture placement.
- The garden measures only 56 square meters with a width of 4 meters, which is relatively compact for a house with 120 square meters of living space and may feel narrow for those seeking a spacious outdoor area.
- The kitchen layout is limited to a single run of cabinets under the window with a freestanding stove, which may not provide sufficient work surface and storage capacity for households that enjoy cooking extensively.
- The stone outbuilding at the rear of the garden has no insulation, limiting its usability during colder months despite having heating and electricity installed.

This terraced house from 1936 is located in the Tilburg North district and offers a combination of original character elements and modern living comfort. The property has a living area of approximately 120 square meters, a plot of 134 square meters, and a volume of 425 cubic meters. With energy label A, the house meets current sustainability standards thanks to the presence of solar panels, HR++ glazing, and a hybrid heat pump system.
The ground floor entrance features the original floor tiles that immediately set the tone for the rest of the house. The walls are finished with neat wainscoting combined with smooth plasterwork above. The meter cupboard is conveniently located in the hall, and the staircase to the first floor is accessible from here as well.
The living room is spacious and has a cozy atmosphere created by the finished fireplace with a clean surround. The patio doors at the rear feature stained glass upper sections, a characteristic element that recurs throughout the house. The floor is covered with dark parquet, and the walls have smooth plasterwork partially combined with wallpaper. The ceiling is plastered and finished with a cornice. Natural light enters through the patio doors and the windows at the front of the house.
The open kitchen is situated in the extension at the rear. The kitchen unit is positioned under the window and consists of handleless high-gloss drawers with a white composite worktop including an integrated sink. A freestanding stove with four burners and an oven is placed under the original chimney where the extraction system is integrated. The rear wall features the original tilework with plasterwork above, which preserves the authentic character of the house.
Between the living room and the kitchen there is a door providing access to a basement storage cupboard. This offers practical storage space for various items.
Behind the kitchen is the utility room, which houses the connections for laundry appliances. At present, a washing machine, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator-freezer combination are located here. The floor is finished with dark tiles and the walls with light tiles, while the ceiling is smoothly plastered. From the utility room, you have direct access to the garden.
Also accessible from the utility room is the toilet room, which has the same finish as the utility room and is equipped with a wall-hung toilet.
The first floor can be reached via the staircase in the hall. The landing provides access to two bedrooms, the bathroom, a fixed storage cupboard, and the closed staircase to the second floor. Additionally, there is access to the flat roof, which offers the possibility to create a roof terrace in the future.
The first bedroom is located at the rear of the house and the second bedroom at the front. Both rooms have windows with upper lights, with the second bedroom featuring beautifully colored stained glass in these upper sections. Both bedrooms also have a practical built-in closet. The floors on this level are finished with laminate and the walls have smooth plasterwork partially combined with wallpaper.
The bathroom is spacious and light, featuring a bathtub, a half-round shower cubicle with a niche, a washbasin, and a wall-hung toilet. The floor is tiled and the walls are partially tiled and partially plastered. A stained glass upper light is also present in the bathroom, maintaining the consistent style found throughout the house.
The second floor has been converted to create a large third bedroom. A dormer window at the front and a large skylight at the rear provide ample natural light. In addition to the bedroom, there is a separate storage room and a boiler room where the heating installation is located. The floor is finished with laminate and the walls are smoothly plastered.
The backyard is situated on the southwest and offers a sunny and private outdoor space. The garden covers 56 square meters and is approximately 14 meters deep and 4 meters wide. Decorative paving has been laid and there is a variety of plants that bloom beautifully in the summer months. A pergola covered with a grapevine provides a pleasant shaded spot. Fruit trees include a pear tree, a fig tree, and a small apple tree. Additionally, clematis and lilac grow in the garden, contributing to the colorful and green atmosphere. A water connection is available in the garden.
At the rear of the garden is a stone outbuilding equipped with electricity and heating. This provides additional storage space or could serve as a workshop. The outbuilding is not insulated. Access to the backyard is via an enclosed passage between the houses, secured with a sliding gate.
The house is heated by an HR boiler from Itho Daalderop combined with a Quatt hybrid heat pump, which was installed in 2014 and is owned by the current owner. The property has partial double glazing and HR glazing, as well as roof insulation. Solar panels are present on the roof, contributing to the favorable energy label A.
The property is connected to a fiber optic cable and has a TV connection. Natural ventilation is present in the house. Parking is available via permit in the immediate vicinity.
This 1930s terraced house successfully combines authentic details such as stained glass windows, panel doors, and original wall tiles with contemporary amenities including a hybrid heat pump, solar panels, and modern insulation. The practical layout with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet makes the house suitable for various household compositions. The southwest-facing garden with mature planting and the stone outbuilding complete the offering of this characteristic home in Tilburg North.
