Spacious 1930s Detached Home with Modern Extensions Near Bergen op Zoom Center
Key Features
Upsides
- Recently modernized with a new kitchen from 2024 and a new Remeha Avanta CV boiler from 2024, indicating the property is move in ready with modern amenities.
- Excellent location near the city center of Bergen op Zoom, within walking distance of shops, the NS railway station, and with quick access to the A4 and A58 motorways for easy commuting to cities like Rotterdam, Breda, Antwerp, and Vlissingen.
- The property has been extended at the rear on both the ground and first floors, significantly increasing living space while maintaining the characteristic 1930s style.
- Good energy efficiency with an energy label C rating, achieved through nine solar panels, roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing throughout.
- Four bedrooms spread across three floors provide flexible living arrangements, with air conditioning in two of the larger bedrooms for summer comfort.
Downsides
- The backyard measures only 66 square meters, which is relatively small for a detached house and may not satisfy buyers seeking a large outdoor space.
- Parking is only available on the public road with no private parking or garage, which could be inconvenient in a neighborhood that is still developing.
- The Het Glacis neighborhood is described as being in development, which may imply ongoing construction activity, noise, or uncertainty about the final character of the area.
- As a 1930s property, there may be hidden maintenance requirements typical of older homes despite the recent modernization, and the third floor bedroom likely has sloping ceilings limiting usable space.
- The third bedroom at 8 square meters is quite small, limiting its use primarily to a nursery, home office, or single occupancy bedroom.
Description
This spacious detached 1930s residence is located on Galgenbaan, just outside the city center of Bergen op Zoom. The property has been thoughtfully extended at the rear on both the ground floor and first floor, maintaining the original architectural style while significantly increasing the overall living space. The home has recently undergone modernization, including the installation of underfloor heating on the ground floor and a completely new kitchen setup.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into the classical hallway featuring a granito floor. This entrance area houses the staircase to the first floor, a cellar cupboard, a toilet, and the modernized meter cupboard. The meter cupboard has been updated to three phase power and includes eleven electrical groups, four earth leakage switches, a cooking group, and a PV group for the solar panels. The hallway provides access to the main living areas of the home.
The ground floor toilet is finished with tiles halfway up the walls, with smooth plasterwork above. It features a wall hung toilet and a small washbasin.
The living room has been recently renewed and modernized. The original wooden floor has been replaced with a concrete floor featuring underfloor heating, topped with a herringbone pattern PVC floor that is bordered along the edges. The walls and ceiling have been finished with smooth plasterwork. In the transition between the living room and the kitchen, sliding doors have been installed, preserving the classical character of the 1930s home. The generous size of the living room allows for the creation of a comfortable seating area as well as a television corner.
Located in the extension of the property, behind the sliding doors, is the kitchen. Due to its substantial size, this space can truly be described as a living kitchen. The kitchen has also been recently renewed, featuring the same poured floor with underfloor heating and smoothly plastered walls. The kitchen setup consists of two sections. The first is a corner positioned kitchen unit with a natural stone worktop, incorporating a built in induction cooktop with direct extraction, a Quooker boiling water tap, and a dishwasher. The second section is a cabinet wall placed in a niche, offering considerable storage space along with a built in combination oven with grill and microwave function, a refrigerator freezer combination, and a coffee machine. The kitchen features French doors that open directly onto the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The staircase in the hallway leads to the first floor landing, which provides access to three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The staircase to the second floor is also located on this landing.
The first bedroom measures approximately 14.5 square meters and is situated at the rear of the property. It features a dormer window overlooking the backyard and includes a walk in closet that offers ample space for clothing and related items. The room is finished with smooth plastered walls and ceiling, and laminate flooring. Air conditioning is installed in this bedroom.
The second bedroom also measures approximately 14.5 square meters and is located at the front of the property. It has a dormer window with views over the Galgenbaan and includes a built in closet. The finish matches that of the first bedroom, and air conditioning is also present.
The third bedroom measures approximately 8 square meters and is situated next to the second bedroom at the front of the property. This room is currently used as a home office or study. The finishing is consistent with the other bedrooms on this floor.
The bathroom is located at the rear of the property adjacent to the first bedroom. It features a walk in shower, a bathtub, and a double washbasin placed on a vanity unit. The bathroom has underfloor heating and is partially tiled with the remaining walls finished in smooth plasterwork.
The separate toilet on this floor features a wall hung toilet and is finished in the same manner as the ground floor toilet.
The fixed staircase on the first floor leads to the second floor landing, which serves as a utility area. Here you will find the connections for the washing machine and tumble dryer, neatly concealed in a kitchen unit with a sink and mixer tap. The CV boiler is also housed on this floor, hidden in a cabinet. This is a Remeha Avanta boiler from 2024, which is gas fired and owned by the property. The landing provides access to a fourth bedroom and a large storage space.
The fourth bedroom measures approximately 12.5 square meters and is located at the rear of the second floor. It has a roof window for natural light and features smooth plastered walls, finished roof boarding with exposed beams, and laminate flooring.
The backyard has been attractively landscaped with paving, gravel, planters, small trees, and a lawn. It is accessible via a rear path next to the property as well as from the kitchen. At the rear of the garden stands a detached stone storage shed and a veranda, both of which are equipped with electricity. The garden is enclosed by a wooden fence between concrete posts and faces southwest, making it a pleasant outdoor space.
The property is situated on Galgenbaan in the Het Glacis neighborhood, an area that is currently in development. Amenities such as a supermarket are located literally around the corner. The historic city center of Bergen op Zoom is within walking distance, as is the NS railway station. The access roads to the A4 and A58 motorways, providing connections to Rotterdam, Breda, Antwerp, and Vlissingen, are also conveniently close by.
Additional features of note include full double glazing throughout the property, nine solar panels on the roof, air conditioning, and an energy label C rating achieved through the combination of solar panels and various insulation measures including roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation.
The property has a total living area of 127 square meters, with an additional 28 square meters of other indoor space and 8 square meters of external storage. The plot measures 220 square meters and the total volume of the building is 529 cubic meters. Parking is available on the public road.
