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.

Description

This generously proportioned family home is located in the popular Leidschenveen district of The Hague, an area known for its combination of residential space, accessibility, and nearby amenities. The property offers comfortable living for families, situated in a location where urban conveniences, green spaces, and practical facilities come together.

The surrounding neighborhood of Leidschenveen is well regarded for its balanced lifestyle offerings. Residents benefit from proximity to various shopping options, including The Mall of the Netherlands, which provides a wide range of retail and dining choices. Educational facilities are conveniently close, with the British School located within easy reach, making this property particularly attractive for internationally oriented families. Childcare centers, sports facilities, and public transport connections are all available in the immediate vicinity. The area is well connected through RandstadRail and tram services, allowing efficient travel to The Hague city center, Zoetermeer, Rotterdam, and Delft. Major roadways are also easily accessible for those who commute by car. For outdoor recreation, the Driemanspolder is within walking and cycling distance, offering a pleasant recreational area with water features, green spaces, and ample room for outdoor activities.

The ground floor of the property features a well designed living area that provides a welcoming atmosphere. The living room is spacious and bright, benefiting from wide French doors that open directly onto the rear garden. This space accommodates various layout possibilities, whether for a large seating arrangement, an extended dining table, a play area for children, or a dedicated home office space. The interior is finished with warm wooden flooring and neutral tones that create a versatile foundation for personal furnishing choices.

Positioned at the front of the property is the kitchen, which serves as both a cooking space and a dining area. The kitchen has a modern appearance with a practical layout that includes substantial cabinet storage, a large wine climate cabinet by Scholtès, and generous countertop surfaces. The design allows for simultaneous cooking and socializing, with sufficient room for dining at the kitchen table. A boiling water tap is installed for added convenience. This arrangement makes the kitchen a natural gathering point for daily family life.

The first floor continues the sense of space found on the ground level. Three well sized bedrooms are located on this floor, along with a separate toilet and a modern bathroom. The bathroom was renovated in 2022 and features large light colored tiles with black accent details, a walk in shower, and a double washbasin unit. The design is contemporary and well executed. The landing on this floor is of considerable size and could potentially serve as an additional workspace if desired.

The second floor provides further accommodation options. A fourth bedroom is located here, offering good ceiling height and flexibility in its use. This room could function as a master bedroom, a teenager's room, a guest bedroom, a home office, or a hobby space depending on the needs of the occupants. Additional storage space is available on this level, including connections for a washing machine and dryer. A practical landing area completes the second floor arrangement.

The outdoor spaces complement the interior living areas. The rear garden faces southwest, ensuring good sun exposure throughout the day and into the evening. The garden is described as green, private, and atmospheric, with sufficient space for outdoor dining furniture, a lounge area, and barbecue equipment. A rear access path provides convenient entry to the garden without going through the house. A front garden is also present.

Additional storage is provided by a freestanding wooden shed in the garden, which has electrical connections. The property includes fiber optic cabling, mechanical ventilation, and TV connections. Parking is available on public roads in the area.

The property has an energy label A rating, indicating good energy efficiency. The building is fully insulated and heated by a gas fired Remeha Avanta boiler from 2010, which is included in the sale as owned equipment. The roof is a pitched roof covered with tiles.

The property is offered as freehold, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The total living area measures approximately 161 square meters, with an additional 10 square meters of external storage. The plot covers 170 square meters, and the building has a volume of 545 cubic meters. The rear garden measures 72 square meters, with dimensions of 12.60 meters in depth and 5.70 meters in width.

Transfer of the property is available from September onwards, with the exact timing to be agreed upon between the parties. The asking price is set at 689,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,280 euros per square meter of living space.

This property presents itself as a complete family home in a well connected and amenity rich part of The Hague. The combination of four bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a recently renovated bathroom, energy efficient credentials, and a favorable garden orientation makes it suitable for families seeking a comfortable residential base with good access to urban facilities and natural surroundings.
