Spacious Corner Home with Sunny West-Facing Garden in Quiet Gouda Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- Corner position provides garden space on three sides and extra windows, resulting in excellent natural light throughout the home and a sense of privacy and freedom around the property.
- West-facing backyard receives afternoon and evening sun, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor time after work during the warmer months.
- Built in 2015 with energy label A+, full insulation, underfloor heating on the ground floor, and a heat recovery ventilation system, indicating modern construction standards and lower energy costs.
- Practical layout with three bedrooms on the first floor and a flexible open attic space of 22 square meters that can serve as an additional bedroom, office, or hobby room.
- Well-maintained condition with plastic window frames for low maintenance and a modern Intergas HRE central heating boiler owned by the current owner.
Downsides
- Two of the three bedrooms on the first floor are relatively small at eight and seven square meters respectively, which may feel cramped for older children or adults.
- The attic space is described as an open zolder rather than a formal bedroom, which means it lacks the same level of finish and may not count as an official sleeping room for mortgage or valuation purposes.
- The kitchen is compact at only seven square meters and features basic appliances including a four-burner gas stove, which may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking a more spacious or luxurious cooking area.
- Parking is only available on the public road without a dedicated parking space or garage on the property, which could be inconvenient in areas with high parking demand.
- The asking price of 550,000 euros results in a price per square meter of approximately 4,622 euros, which may be considered elevated for the Gouda market given the relatively modest bedroom sizes and basic kitchen.
Description
This corner house, built in 2015, is situated in a quiet and green residential area on the eastern side of Gouda. The property benefits from its corner position, which provides garden space on three sides of the home and additional windows in the side facade, resulting in a bright and open atmosphere throughout the interior. The total living area measures approximately 119 square meters, spread across three floors, making it a practical choice for families looking for comfortable living space.
The ground floor features a well-organized layout starting with an entrance hall that houses the meter cupboard and a neatly finished toilet room. The toilet area is finished with white wall tiles, grey floor tiles, a wall-hung toilet, and a small sink. The kitchen is located at the front of the house and presents a calm appearance with its design. It comes equipped with essential appliances including a four-burner gas stove, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a combination microwave. While compact at approximately seven square meters, the kitchen provides functional workspace for daily meal preparation.
The living room occupies the rear of the ground floor and benefits significantly from the corner location of the property. Two additional windows in the side wall allow natural light to enter from multiple angles, creating a pleasant and illuminated living space. The room measures approximately 31 square meters, offering ample room for both a comfortable seating area and a dining table suitable for entertaining family and friends. A door provides direct access to the backyard. The open staircase in the living room adds a playful character to the space, and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures a comfortable temperature during colder months.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a full bathroom. Two bedrooms are situated at the front of the house, with one of these featuring an additional side window that makes it particularly suitable as a quiet home office or a well-lit children's room. These front bedrooms measure approximately 16 square meters and eight square meters respectively. The third bedroom is located at the rear of the property and has a somewhat playful layout due to the roof structure. This room measures approximately seven square meters and can serve various purposes including sleeping, working, or playing.
The fully tiled bathroom on this floor is complete with a shower, a bathtub, a wall-hung toilet, a washbasin, a mirror with lighting, and an electric designer radiator. While compact at approximately six square meters, the bathroom includes all necessary fixtures for a family household.
The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and consists of an open attic space measuring approximately 22 square meters. This area offers flexibility and can be adapted to suit various needs such as an additional bedroom, a hobby room, a home workspace, or a playroom. A plastic skylight at the rear provides natural daylight to this floor. Behind the knee walls, there is practical storage space. The technical room on this floor houses the heat recovery ventilation system, the Intergas HRE central heating boiler from 2015, and the connections for a washing machine and dryer.
The outdoor spaces are a notable feature of this property. The corner position provides garden areas at the front, side, and rear of the house, creating a sense of freedom and greenery around the entire property. The rear garden faces west, which means it receives sunlight during the afternoon and evening hours, making it an enjoyable space for outdoor activities later in the day. The backyard is accessible via a rear gate and measures 47 square meters with dimensions of 8.70 meters in depth and 5.35 meters in width. An outdoor tap is available for garden maintenance. A freestanding stone storage building with electricity is located on the property, providing space for bicycles, gardening tools, or additional storage. The multiple outdoor areas allow for different seating arrangements, whether for a quiet morning coffee or an evening gathering with friends.
The property features plastic window frames throughout, which require minimal maintenance. The energy label is rated A+, indicating good energy efficiency. The house is fully insulated, contributing to lower energy costs and improved comfort. The total volume of the house is 412 cubic meters, and the plot size is 169 square meters. Parking is available on the public road in front of the property.
This home is offered at a price of 550,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,622 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for viewing through the listing agent, and the transfer details are open to negotiation. The risk indicator is listed as zero, suggesting no known structural or environmental issues with the property. The cadastral designation is GOUDA K 10278, and the property is held in full ownership.
The combination of the relatively recent construction date, the energy-efficient features, and the practical layout makes this corner house a solid option for buyers seeking a move-in ready home in a peaceful residential setting within Gouda.
