Spacious and versatile semi-bungalow near village centre and forest in Hoeven
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a fully accessible ground floor with two bedrooms, a luxury bathroom, and a separate toilet, allowing residents to live entirely on one level without sacrificing space or comfort.
- The energy label A rating, combined with a 2020 condensing gas boiler, solar panels, roof insulation, and HR double glazing throughout, makes this a far more energy-efficient home than its 1971 build year would suggest and will result in lower monthly energy costs.
- The large attached wooden garage with space for two cars provides practical storage, workshop potential, and covered parking, a feature that is increasingly desirable and difficult to replicate in many urban settings.
- The property is situated in one of the most sought-after locations in Hoeven, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, a primary school, and the forest, while still offering the peace and quiet of a residential neighbourhood.
- With five bedrooms across two floors and two full bathrooms, the property accommodates a wide range of household compositions, from families with children to couples who require guest accommodation or home office space.
Downsides
- The asking price of €785,000 k.k. positions this property at a premium level for Hoeven, and prospective buyers should carefully compare against comparable properties in the area to ensure value alignment.
- The back garden, while functional and well-maintained, covers approximately 152 square metres, which is modest for a family with children or for buyers prioritising outdoor space.
- The property dates from 1971, and despite the upgrades, some structural elements, foundations, or older utility systems may still reflect their original age and could require future investment.
- The listing is located in Hoeven, a village rather than a city, which means residents have limited access to secondary schools, specialist healthcare, and cultural amenities that would typically be found in a larger town or city.
- The listing disclaims that all measurements, surface areas, and volumes are indicative only, which introduces some uncertainty about the precise dimensions of rooms and spaces until a professional survey is conducted.
Description
Elisabethpark 11 in Hoeven presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a property that successfully bridges the gap between a family home and a life-phase-proof residence. This spacious, detached semi-bungalow offers the best of both worlds: fully accessible single-floor living on the ground floor, combined with a generous first floor that accommodates larger households or provides flexible space for a home office, hobby room, or guest accommodation.
The property was built in 1971 and sits on a plot of 527 square metres. The total living area amounts to 163 square metres, supplemented by 54 square metres of external storage space. With a volume of 582 cubic metres, the home offers a well-proportioned interior that avoids the cramped feeling often found in smaller Dutch properties. The asking price of €785,000 translates to approximately €4,816 per square metre of living space, positioning this at a premium level for the Hoeven area.
Upon arrival, the property makes a strong first impression with its generous front garden, which provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles. This is a practical advantage for families with several cars or for those who regularly receive guests. The front garden has been neatly maintained and contributes to the overall sense of care that characterises the property.
Inside, the central hallway serves as the true hub of the home. From this point, virtually all rooms on the ground floor are directly accessible. The ground floor features two full-sized bedrooms, a luxury bathroom, and a separate toilet. The bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a walk-in shower, double washbasins, a second toilet, and underfloor heating. This level of finish is noteworthy for a property of this era and reflects a recent renovation.
The ground floor living spaces flow naturally from the hall into the living room, where large windows ensure an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The living room has been extended at the rear with a conservatory, which effectively blurs the boundary between the indoor and outdoor living areas. Patio doors open directly onto the back garden, making this an ideal space for entertaining or simply enjoying the garden throughout the day.
The open kitchen is arranged in a timeless white corner configuration. It features a generous worktop, base units, and built-in appliances. The kitchen window overlooks the back garden, providing a pleasant outlook while cooking. A secondary door from the kitchen gives direct access to the outdoor terrace, which proves highly practical during summer months when barbecuing or when children are playing in the garden.
The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the hallway. The landing and additional rooms benefit from roof windows that introduce natural light into what could otherwise be darker spaces on this level. The first floor contains three additional full-sized bedrooms, making a total of five bedrooms across the property. There is also a second bathroom on this floor, fitted with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. This configuration means the property can comfortably accommodate a large family without any compromise on privacy or bathroom facilities.
The back garden measures approximately 10.50 metres in depth by 14.50 metres in width, totalling around 152 square metres. The garden includes a spacious terrace, a lawn area, and contemporary planting that provides year-round colour and interest. The orientation and size of the garden make it suitable for outdoor dining, children's play, gardening, or simply relaxing in the sun. It is fully enclosed, providing safety for children and pets.
A standout feature of this property is the large, extended attached wooden garage. With capacity for two cars, the garage also serves as a practical storage area, workshop, or hobby space. This adds considerable value for buyers who own bicycles, require additional storage, or simply appreciate covered parking.
The property has been equipped with a number of modern upgrades that improve both comfort and energy efficiency. The central heating system is a Remeha Calenta Ace 40c, a condensing gas boiler installed in 2020 and owned outright by the current owners. Solar panels have been installed, and the property has received an A energy label. Insulation is present in the roof, walls, and windows, with HR glass throughout. These features collectively result in significantly lower energy costs compared to properties of similar age without these upgrades, while also reducing the property's environmental footprint.
Additional technical features include air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, and fibre optic internet connectivity. These additions ensure the property meets contemporary standards for indoor air quality, connectivity, and thermal comfort.
The location of Elisabethpark 11 is one of its most compelling attributes. The property is situated in one of the most sought-after parts of Hoeven, directly behind the village centre. This means that shops, restaurants, cafés, and a primary school are all within walking distance. For daily errands such as grocery shopping or visiting the bakery, residents need not rely on a car. The proximity of the forest provides immediate access to green space for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. Public transport connections and motorway access are also conveniently nearby, making commutes to larger towns entirely feasible for those who work further afield.
The cadastral information identifies the property as plot HOEVEN D 2014, with full freehold ownership. This means the buyer purchases both the property and the land outright, with no ground rent or lease arrangements to consider. The total plot size of 527 square metres is reasonable for a detached property in this setting and provides a balanced proportion of built area, outdoor space, and garden.
In summary, Elisabethpark 11 represents a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded property in a highly desirable village setting. Its combination of accessible ground-floor living, generous room count, modernised bathrooms, recent heating system, energy label A rating, solar panels, and the added benefit of a double garage make it a versatile option that could serve a wide range of buyers, from growing families to those seeking a home that can adapt to changing needs over time.

Scandinavian

Mediterranean
While the garden has a terrace and barbecue area, no Mediterranean-specific design elements are mentioned. The garden is described with standard Dutch elements: lawn, terrace, and modern plantings.
Classic
The property was built in 1971, which suggests a classic Dutch architectural style. The semi-bungalow layout and traditional features (zadeldak with pannen) support this classification. However, modern renovations have been made.
Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
Built in 1971, which is not particularly traditional or historic. The style is functional residential construction.
Early 20th Century
Built in 1971, which is well after the early 20th century period (roughly 1900-1930).
Post War Functional
Built in 1971, which is post-WWII. The design is functional with practical layout, though 1971 is late post-war. Semi-bungalow style was popular in post-war Dutch residential construction.
Modernist
While the property has been updated with modern features like solar panels, air conditioning, and a new CV ketel (2020), the original 1971 construction is more functional than modernist in architectural terms.

Shared Kitchen
This is a single-family home with a private kitchen. Not a shared living arrangement.
Design Kitchen
The kitchen is described as 'tijdloos witte hoekopstelling' (timeless white corner setup) with 'ingebouwde apparatuur'. While it has quality features like large countertop and built-in appliances, it is described as a standard functional kitchen rather than a high-end designer kitchen. The design is described as 'timeless' rather than 'luxury' or 'designer'.
New Kitchen
The kitchen appears modern with built-in appliances and a contemporary white finish. However, the property was built in 1971 and no specific renovation date for the kitchen is mentioned. The 'gestoffeerd' (soft unfurnished) status suggests it may have standard finishes rather than a fully new kitchen.
