Spacious Terraced Home with Large Detached Garage in Didam
Key Features
Upsides
- Large detached garage of approximately 30 m² with electricity, water, drainage and skylight, which is a rare feature for a terraced house and offers excellent multifunctional use.
- Spacious attic floor with Velux skylight providing the potential to create a fourth bedroom, home office or hobby room, adding significant flexibility to the living space.
- Excellent location combining a quiet family-friendly neighborhood with proximity to daily amenities, schools, sports facilities, nature areas like Montferland forests, and strong transport connections via A12, A18, A3 motorways and Didam railway station.
- Modern bathroom renovated in 2020 with contemporary fixtures including walk-in shower, wall-hung toilet, designer radiator and vanity unit.
- West-facing backyard with a canopy structure, allowing enjoyment of afternoon and evening sun in a low-maintenance garden setting.
Downsides
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency, and despite full insulation and double glazing, the property may require additional investments to achieve higher energy performance standards.
- Central heating boiler from 2013 is now over a decade old and may need replacement in the coming years, representing a potential future expense for buyers.
- No private parking space at the front of the property, with only public parking available in the vicinity, though the garage can accommodate one vehicle.
- The property dates from 1986, which means certain elements and finishes may show their age despite maintenance and the 2020 bathroom renovation.
- Open kitchen layout at the rear of the living room may not suit all preferences, particularly for those who prefer a separate enclosed kitchen space.
Description
This terraced house is situated in the town of Didam and offers a practical and comfortable living environment for prospective buyers. The property was originally built in 1986 and has been maintained over the years, with notable updates including a modern bathroom renovation completed in 2020. The residence presents itself as a family home with three full bedrooms on the first floor and additional usable space on the second floor that can be adapted to suit various needs.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a staircase leading to the first floor, and a separate toilet room equipped with a toilet and a small washbasin. From the hall, one enters the Z-shaped living room, which offers a functional layout that creates distinct areas for different activities within the open plan. The living room features a storage cupboard for provisions and is fitted with a roller shutter on one of the windows. The open kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor and comes fully equipped with a combination microwave oven, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer combination, gas hob, extractor hood, and a practical carousel cabinet designed for storing pans and cookware. This arrangement allows for easy meal preparation and social interaction between the cooking and living areas.
The first floor contains three bedrooms of varying sizes, with two of these rooms featuring roller shutters for light control and added security. The bathroom on this floor was completely renewed in 2020 and displays a contemporary style. It includes a wall-hung toilet, a walk-in shower, a designer radiator, a washbasin with a vanity unit, and natural ventilation to ensure adequate air circulation. These modern fixtures and fittings contribute to a comfortable and up-to-date bathroom experience.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which serves as a spacious attic level. This area is illuminated by a Velux skylight and houses the central heating boiler installation along with connections for washing appliances. Given the generous dimensions of this space, it presents excellent potential to be transformed into a fourth bedroom, a dedicated home office, or a hobby room. The versatility of this additional floor adds significant value to the property for buyers who require extra space.
One of the most distinctive features of this property is the detached garage, which measures approximately 30 square meters. This substantial outbuilding is accessible from the rear of the plot via the Koolmeesstraat. The garage is fully equipped with electricity, running water, drainage, and a skylight that brings in natural light. Such a well-appointed garage space is relatively uncommon for terraced houses and provides numerous possibilities. It can serve as a workshop for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts, secure parking for a car or motorcycle, storage for bicycles and garden equipment, or simply as valuable additional storage space. The presence of water and drainage even opens up possibilities for activities that require these utilities.
The outdoor space consists of a well-maintained and low-maintenance backyard that faces west. This orientation means the garden receives afternoon and evening sunlight, making it an enjoyable place to relax after work or to entertain family and friends. The garden features a canopy structure that provides shade and shelter, allowing outdoor seating to be used in various weather conditions. A decorative border adds visual interest to the garden without requiring extensive gardening efforts. The front of the property also has a small garden area.
The location of this home in Didam offers numerous advantages for daily living. The property is situated in a quiet and family-friendly residential neighborhood where all daily amenities are within easy reach. Schools, shops, supermarkets, and dining establishments are located at a short distance. For those interested in sports and fitness, various facilities are easily accessible, including tennis clubs, padel courts, football clubs, and a fitness center. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the De Nevelhorst recreation area and the extensive Montferland forests, which offer opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors.
The accessibility of this location is another strong point. The nearby A12 motorway provides a direct connection to Arnhem, while the A18 leads to Doetinchem and the A3 offers routes into Germany. This makes the property suitable for commuters who need to travel to surrounding cities and regions. Additionally, Didam has its own railway station with direct train services to Arnhem, Zevenaar, and Doetinchem, providing an alternative to car travel.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has a volume of approximately 382 cubic meters and a living area of 111 square meters. The external storage space, comprising the garage, measures 28 square meters according to the official specifications. The total plot area is 163 square meters. The property benefits from full insulation including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation, complemented by double glazing throughout. These features contribute to the C energy label rating. Heating and hot water are provided by an Atag gas-fired combination boiler that was installed in 2013 and is owned by the current proprietors. The property also has fiber optic internet connectivity available, partial roller shutters, and a sunshade at the rear.
The property is offered at an asking price of 350,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,153 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be discussed and negotiated between the parties. The property is classified as existing construction with a pitched roof covered with tiles. The cadastral registration shows two parcels with full ownership, one measuring 143 square meters and another measuring 20 square meters. Parking for residents is available as public parking in the vicinity.
This terraced house in Didam represents a solid family home with practical features and a particularly notable garage facility. The combination of indoor living space, the convertible attic floor, and the substantial external garage creates a property that can adapt to various lifestyle needs. The favorable location with regard to both daily amenities and regional transport connections adds to the overall appeal of this residential offering.
