Charming family home with stunning west-facing garden in peaceful Bemmel location
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent energy performance with label A rating supported by 12 solar panels, comprehensive insulation and air conditioning that can also heat, making the home economical to run
- Deep west-facing rear garden of 77 square meters with 13.5 meters depth, offering exceptional outdoor living potential and privacy rarely found in this price range
- Recently completed major maintenance including new roof tiles on the pitched roof and fresh bitumen on flat roof sections, eliminating near-term repair concerns
- Prime location combining peaceful residential setting near the dyke with immediate access to natural area De Bemmelse Waard, while remaining only 15 minutes from both Arnhem and Nijmegen
- Four-bedroom configuration spread across three floors provides flexible family living with the added benefit of a full-width dormer window creating a spacious fourth bedroom on the top floor
Downsides
- Only one bathroom serving four bedrooms may create morning queues for larger families
- Kitchen installation is described as straightforward, suggesting limited counter space and potentially outdated cabinetry that would require renovation for those who cook frequently
- Fence on the right boundary is being replaced by neighbors, which introduces uncertainty about timing, quality and potential disputes
- Relatively small plot of 165 square meters with a narrow width of 5.70 meters limits options for extensions or larger garden installations
- 1978 construction may imply dated floor plans, lower ceiling heights and potential for hidden maintenance issues despite recent visible improvements
Description
This well-maintained terraced house is located at Franciscusstraat 50 in the desirable village of Bemmel, perfectly positioned between the cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen. The property was built in 1978 and offers approximately 117 square meters of living space spread across three floors, together with a compact plot of 165 square meters.
Upon entering the home, you arrive in the entrance hall which leads to a modern meter cupboard and a toilet with a small hand basin. The ground floor features a generously sized living room filled with natural light, thanks in part to the aluminium sliding door that opens onto the rear garden. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with practical appliances including a dishwasher, four-burner induction hob, extractor hood, close-in boiler, combination oven and microwave, and a refrigerator-freezer. While the kitchen installation is described as straightforward, it provides all essential functions. A storage cupboard and a door to the garden complete the ground floor layout.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a modern bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, and a vanity unit with a sink. This floor provides comfortable accommodation for a family.
Ascending to the second floor via a fixed staircase, you discover a landing with the central heating system, a washing machine connection, and a split-unit air conditioning system. The standout feature of this floor is the spacious fourth bedroom spanning the full width of the house, enhanced by a large dormer window at the rear. Ample storage space is available behind knee walls throughout this level.
The rear garden measures approximately 77 square meters with a depth of 13.50 meters and a width of 5.70 meters. Oriented to the west, this garden enjoys excellent afternoon and evening sun. A freestanding brick storage shed with electricity and a back gate provide practical outdoor storage and access. The garden offers considerable privacy, though it is worth noting that the fence on the right-hand side is scheduled for replacement by the neighbors.
The current owners have invested significantly in sustainability and maintenance. Nearly all window frames have been replaced with durable plastic frames featuring HR++ double glazing. Twelve solar panels generate approximately 3,000 kWh per year. The cavity walls have been insulated, and the ground floor and second floor benefit from air conditioning units that can also provide heating. The roof has been recently updated with all tiles replaced and the flat roof sections covered with new bitumen. These improvements have resulted in an excellent energy label A rating.
The location strikes an appealing balance between tranquility and convenience. The property sits on a quiet street near the dyke, providing immediate access to the natural area called De Bemmelse Waard for walking and cycling. The village center of Bemmel with its shops and services is within easy reach. Both Arnhem and Nijmegen can be reached by car in approximately fifteen minutes, making this property suitable for commuters who appreciate village living.
