Spacious Pre-War Detached Home with Triple Bathrooms and Double Garage in Biest
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features three fully equipped bathrooms, which is exceptional for a three-bedroom house and provides significant convenience for residents and guests.
- The location in the Biest and Groenewoud neighborhood offers immediate proximity to all daily necessities including shops, schools, hospital, and sports facilities, all within walking or cycling distance.
- The double garage with carport is notably deep and includes heating options, air conditioning, a kitchen unit with water, and houses the solar panel installation, making it suitable as a workshop or hobby space.
- The foundation risk is classified as low (A, B, or C) according to FunderMaps, which is reassuring for a pre-war property from 1933.
- Parking is available on the private driveway and on the street without requiring a permit, providing flexibility for multiple vehicles.
Downsides
- Despite 180 square meters of living space, the property has only three bedrooms, indicating an inefficient use of space with multiple bathrooms and intermediate rooms consuming area that could have provided additional sleeping quarters.
- The insulation is inconsistent, with only partial floor insulation and the main house windows having standard double glazing rather than HR+ glazing throughout, which may affect energy efficiency and comfort.
- The open staircase to the second floor presents a safety consideration and reduces privacy between the first and second floor levels.
- Hot water is provided by an electric boiler separate from the central heating system, which is typically less energy efficient than a combined system.
- The property requires a 10 percent deposit or bank guarantee within six weeks of the purchase agreement, which represents a substantial additional financial requirement of approximately 59,000 euros.
Description
This detached property located in the Biest and Groenewoud district of Weert was originally constructed in 1933 and subsequently extended in 1999. The current owners have continuously maintained and modernized the residence over the years, resulting in a home that combines pre-war character with contemporary amenities.
The ground floor layout begins with a spacious and light entrance hall that includes a dedicated wardrobe area and the electrical meter cupboard equipped with eight circuit groups, two earth leakage switches, and smart metering technology. A stylish closed staircase leads to the first floor, and beneath this staircase there is access to a storage closet.
The T-shaped living room is a prominent feature of this home, characterized by its impressive pre-war ceiling height of 2.90 meters. This living space is divided into three distinct areas: a seating area at the front of the house, a dining area at the rear, and a play area situated along the Limburglaan side. The seating area features a fireplace with an atmospheric gas fire and a fiber optic connection point. The dining area is equipped with an air conditioning unit from LG Thinq installed in 2025. From the play area, there is access to an intermediate room and the cellar.
Connected to the dining area is the live-in kitchen, positioned at the rear of the property. The kitchen installation is arranged in a corner configuration and includes a natural stone worktop with two sink units, one positioned at each corner for practical convenience. The cooking arrangement consists of a six-burner stainless steel Boretti stove with an integrated extractor hood above. This stove incorporates two ovens of different sizes. Additional kitchen appliances include a dishwasher from 2024 and an American-style refrigerator with freezer compartment.
From the kitchen, one can access an intermediate hallway that houses the water and gas meters and provides space for a pull-down staircase leading to a fully finished space above the kitchen that could serve as an additional bedroom. This upper space contains an electric hot water boiler from Inventum with an 80-liter capacity, installed in 2019.
The first ground floor bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a washbasin, a walk-in shower with thermostatic faucet and hand shower, a designer radiator, and mechanical ventilation.
The intermediate room on the ground floor provides access to a partially tiled toilet room containing a wall-hung toilet from 2025, a small sink, recessed spotlights, and mechanical ventilation. This intermediate room also leads to the office space, which has its own door to the rear garden and driveway.
The first floor is reached via the main staircase and features a landing that gives access to two bedrooms and a second bathroom. An open staircase from this landing leads to the second floor. The first bedroom is situated along the Limburglaan and offers access to a flat roof area. The second bedroom, also on the Limburglaan side, includes a practical built-in closet. The fully tiled second bathroom at the rear of this floor is equipped with a washbasin cabinet, a wall-hung toilet, and a bathtub with thermostatic faucet.
The second floor consists of a fully finished open attic space containing the third bedroom, which is fitted with a Velux skylight. From this bedroom, there is access to the central heating boiler closet housing a Vaillant ecoTEC plus combination boiler from 2021. Additional storage space is available under the sloping sections of the roof surrounding this room.
From the third bedroom, one can access a third bathroom that is fully tiled and includes a shower cabin with hot and cold water faucet and hand shower, a washbasin, a wall-hung toilet, a bathtub with hot and cold water faucet and hand shower, recessed spotlights, and mechanical ventilation.
The outdoor spaces include a front path leading to the main entrance and a gate beside the front door providing access to the rear garden. The rear garden is fully fenced, mostly paved, and features a garden shed with electrical connection, planted borders, and multiple electrical points. From the garden, one can reach the carport and garage.
Located along the left side and rear of the property is a deep driveway leading to a wide carport with space for two cars parked side by side. The double garage is notably deep and is fitted with two manually operated steel up-and-over doors. The garage houses the washing machine and dryer, as well as the solar panel installation consisting of twelve Afore panels from 2022. The garage can be heated using a gas wall heater, and a Mitsubishi air conditioning unit from 2024 provides both cooling and additional heating. A small kitchen unit with hot and cold water completes the garage facilities.
The property features electric shutters on the windows of the living room, dining area, play area, intermediate room, office, first and second bedrooms, and the second bathroom. All remaining windows are fitted with manually operated shutters.
The energy label is rated C and remains valid until May 2036. Insulation measures include partial floor insulation in the living room and first bathroom, full insulation in the 1999 extension with HR+ glazing, and roof insulation on the third bedroom and the kitchen attic space. The main house windows have hardwood frames with double glazing, while the extension and kitchen windows feature HR+ glazing.
The Biest and Groenewoud neighborhood offers convenient access to shops, supermarkets, a hospital, primary and secondary schools, childcare facilities, and the "aan de Bron" sports park. A bus stop with direct connections to Weert railway station is approximately a five-minute walk away. Eindhoven Airport and the ASML facility are also relatively accessible from this location. Parking is available on the private driveway or on the street without requiring a permit.
According to FunderMaps data, the property has been assigned a foundation risk classification of A, B, or C, indicating no elevated groundwater-related risk. This assessment is based on established data or model-based assumptions regarding foundation type, soil and groundwater conditions, settlement data, and repair records.
The property has a total living area of approximately 180 square meters, with an additional 14 square meters of other indoor space and approximately 50 square meters of external storage.
