Description
This terraced house, built in 1967, is located in the pleasant residential area of Nieuw-Vennep in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. The property sits on a plot measuring 147 square metres and offers a living area of 113 square metres. The house is currently fully dated throughout, presenting an opportunity for buyers who are looking to modernise a home entirely according to their own preferences and vision.
Upon entering the property through the front portal, you reach the hall where the meter cupboard, practical storage cupboards, and a toilet room are situated. The living room features an open fireplace, providing a solid foundation for creating a warm and inviting living space. The kitchen is dated in style but comes equipped with a sink, induction hob, extractor hood, and oven. The ground floor layout provides the essential elements that can be transformed into a modern open-plan living area if desired.
The first floor accommodates four bedrooms, making this property particularly suitable for families with children, those who work from home, or anyone needing additional hobby or guest rooms. One of the bedrooms on this floor includes a built-in wardrobe and its own water supply point, which could be convenient for various uses. The bathroom on this level is simply finished and offers ample potential to be redesigned into a contemporary and functional space.
The second floor comprises an attic space where the central heating boiler is installed. The boiler is a gas-fired combi boiler from 2024 that is rented rather than owned, costing approximately 45 euros per month. This floor also has a washbasin and a skylight, allowing natural light into the space. With appropriate renovation work, this level could be converted into a fully functional additional room, further increasing the usable living area of the property.
One of the notable features of this property is the backyard, which faces southeast and measures 77 square metres. The garden is 12.23 metres deep and 6.29 metres wide, offering a deep and sunny outdoor space where one can enjoy sunlight for a large part of the day. At the rear of the garden stands a freestanding stone shed equipped with electricity, providing useful storage space or potential for a workshop area. The garden is accessible via a rear path.
The property also includes a front yard and benefits from a total building volume of 394 cubic metres. The roof is a gabled roof covered with tiles, which is typical for houses of this era and type in the Netherlands.
Nieuw-Vennep is a village that offers a pleasant combination of tranquillity, local amenities, and excellent transport connections. The village has various shops, supermarkets, schools, sports clubs, and recreational facilities, making it a suitable living environment for both families and commuters. The central location ensures that surrounding cities are easily accessible.
The accessibility of this location is a significant advantage. The nearby A4 and N207 motorways provide direct routes to cities including Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, and The Hague. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is approximately 10 to 15 minutes away by car. From Nieuw-Vennep railway station, there are fast train connections to Schiphol, Amsterdam, and Leiden, and regional bus services are also well organised.
It is important to note that several clauses apply to this property. A non-self-occupancy clause is in effect, which typically means the property cannot be occupied by the buyer as a primary residence for a specified period. An age clause and an asbestos clause are also applicable, which is standard for properties from this construction period and serves to inform buyers of potential materials used at the time of building.
The property has an energy label C, which indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. With comprehensive renovation, there is potential to significantly improve the energy performance of the home, potentially incorporating modern insulation, double glazing, and other energy-saving measures.
Parking is available on the public road, as there is no private parking or garage included with the property. The asking price is 350,000 euros buyer's costs, which translates to approximately 3,097 euros per square metre of living space. The property is offered for sale with full freehold ownership.
In summary, this is a terraced house with character and considerable potential, located in a well-connected and amenity-rich part of Nieuw-Vennep. The property is best suited for buyers who are prepared to undertake a comprehensive renovation project and who wish to create a home tailored entirely to their own tastes and requirements.
