Renovation Project with Idyllic River Views in Molenaarsgraaf
Key Features
Description
This property is situated in the village of Molenaarsgraaf and presents itself as a substantial renovation project. The listing clearly indicates that this is not a property requiring minor cosmetic updates, but rather a comprehensive project that will appeal to individuals with construction experience, a clear vision, and the determination to transform this building into something special. The possibilities range from extensive renovation to complete rebuilding, offering prospective buyers considerable freedom in realizing their ideal home.
The location is described as exceptional, with the front of the property offering views over the river de Graaf. This water feature provides an idyllic setting that contributes significantly to the character and appeal of the plot. Properties with direct river views are relatively uncommon, making this aspect particularly noteworthy for those seeking a home in a peaceful, scenic environment.
The main house has a living area of approximately seventy square meters. Upon entering through the front door, one reaches a small hallway containing the meter cupboard and the staircase to the upper floor. To the right of this hallway is the kitchen, which is equipped with a basic kitchen unit. There is a built-in cupboard located under the staircase. The kitchen currently has a rented geyser for hot water, which will be removed prior to transfer of ownership, meaning the new owner will need to arrange their own hot water system.
From the kitchen, there is access to an open space that leads to the living room. The living room measures approximately four meters and fourteen centimeters by three meters and eighty-one centimeters and is positioned at the front of the house, allowing views over the surrounding area. A fireplace is situated centrally along the side wall. Between the kitchen and living room, there is an intermediate hallway containing a partially tiled toilet room measuring approximately two meters and eighteen centimeters by eighty-eight centimeters, fitted with a standing toilet and a washbasin.
On the opposite side of the kitchen, an extension has been added that provides an open space previously used for storage. This area includes a sliding door giving access to the garden. Adjacent to this space is the bathroom, measuring approximately two meters and fifty-eight centimeters by eighty-six centimeters, which contains a shower.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the ground floor hallway. The landing area is practically arranged and includes a toilet, a washbasin, and a spacious built-in cupboard. From the landing, a staircase provides access to the storage attic, which extends across the full width of the dwelling.
The first floor contains two bedrooms. The larger bedroom measures approximately three meters and ninety-two centimeters by three meters and thirty-four centimeters and features a fitted wardrobe spanning the full width of the room. The second bedroom is smaller at approximately six square meters.
The property stands on two separate parcels, identified as parcel numbers 335 and 54, which together total four hundred and sixty-four square meters. Beside the main house, a gravel path leads to an adjacent outbuilding. This outbuilding has a living area of sixty square meters and includes a substantial attic floor, divided into various spaces. Historically, this outbuilding served as the main residence before the current house was constructed. However, the listing explicitly states that this structure is in such poor condition that it requires complete replacement.
The property is located on the edge of Molenaarsgraaf village, within the Alblasserwaard polder region. Within walking distance, residents can find a school, a supermarket, and other basic amenities. The surrounding area is characterized by its flat polder landscape, making it suitable for walking and cycling activities.
In terms of construction details, the property was built in 1917 and features a gabled roof covered with tiles. The energy label is not available, and the listing indicates that there is no insulation present. Heating is provided by a gas fire, and hot water was supplied by the aforementioned rented geyser. The property includes features such as a skylight, roller shutters, and a chimney.
The outdoor space consists of a front garden and a side garden. The side garden measures eighty-two square meters, with dimensions of ten meters and twenty-six centimeters in depth by six meters and twenty centimeters in width, and is oriented towards the east. Parking is available on the property's own grounds along the wide gravel path at the front and side of the house.
The asking price is two hundred and ninety-five thousand euros, payable by the purchaser (kosten koper). This translates to approximately four thousand two hundred and fourteen euros per square meter of living space. The transfer terms are to be agreed upon between the parties. Both parcels are held in full ownership.
A viewing afternoon has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 29th, between three and five in the afternoon, providing interested parties with an opportunity to inspect the property in person before making any decisions.
This property represents an opportunity for those willing to invest significant time, effort, and resources into creating a custom home in a distinctive riverside location. The combination of the plot size, the water views, and the potential for substantial renovation or rebuilding makes this a unique offering in the local property market. Prospective buyers should carefully consider the scope of work required, particularly regarding the outbuilding that needs replacement, and ensure they have appropriate budgets and plans in place before proceeding with a purchase.
