Spacious Family Home with Modern Kitchen and Sunny Garden in Leidschenveen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating indicates excellent energy efficiency, which helps reduce monthly utility costs and contributes to a comfortable indoor climate.
- The property is freehold (volle eigendom), meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to pay, providing full ownership without additional periodic charges.
- The southwest facing garden receives ample sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening, making it ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation during warmer months.
- The bathroom was renovated in 2022 with modern finishes including a walk in shower and double washbasin, representing a recent and valuable upgrade.
- The location offers excellent connectivity with RandstadRail, tram services, and major roads nearby, plus proximity to The Mall of the Netherlands and the British School, making it particularly convenient for families and international residents.
Downsides
- Parking is limited to public street parking, with no dedicated parking space or garage included with the property, which may require searching for available spots during busy periods.
- The central heating boiler (Remeha Avanta) dates from 2010, meaning it is approaching 15 years old and may require replacement in the near future, which represents a potential additional expense.
- The property is a terraced house (tussenwoning), which means less privacy compared to detached or semi detached homes, with shared walls on both sides.
- The freestanding wooden storage shed has no insulation, limiting its usefulness for storing temperature sensitive items and potentially reducing its longevity.
- The property is only available from September onwards, which may not suit buyers who need to move in immediately.
