Unique detached house with spacious hobby room and sauna

This property at Grotewallerweg 22 in Schagen is a detached house that was built in 1990 and has been well maintained over the years. The asking price is set at 850,000 euros, with the seller specifying this is a starting price, meaning offers below this amount will not be considered. This pricing approach differs from a traditional asking price where lower offers are typically expected.

The total living area measures 256 square meters, which is complemented by an additional 23 square meters of indoor space and 6 square meters of outdoor space attached to the building. The total volume of the property is 959 cubic meters. The plot covers an impressive 1,353 square meters, providing ample outdoor space. The property consists of two cadastral parcels: one measuring 166 square meters and another measuring 1,187 square meters, both in full ownership.

The ground floor of the main residence features a welcoming entrance hall with a fixed staircase leading to the first floor.

The utility room contains the washing machine connection, a wall of cupboards for additional storage, and the central heating boiler. The heating system consists of an Intergas combi HR boiler from 2025, which is gas-fired and owned by the current owner.

What makes this property particularly distinctive is the separate section referred to as number 22A. This part of the property can be accessed internally and includes its own entrance portal with a separate meter cupboard featuring four circuit groups, a heavy current connection, and an earth leakage switch. There is also a separate gas connection point.

Adjacent to the garage is a second living space that serves as an atelier or hobby room, measuring approximately 160 square meters.

This section also contains a second bathroom with a bathtub, a shower cabin, a wall-hung toilet, a double washbasin, and a design radiator. Furthermore, there are two separate work spaces, each equipped with built-in cupboard walls for storage.

The connection between the main house and the atelier section being accessible internally is an important practical feature, as it allows for convenient movement between the spaces without having to go outside, which is particularly useful during adverse weather conditions.

The property holds a C energy label. The insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Additional features mentioned include solar panels and TV cable connections. The presence of two separate central heating systems, one for the main house and one for the atelier section, means that the two parts of the property can be heated independently, which could lead to energy savings if only part of the property is being used at any given time.

The garden is primarily south-facing and has been attractively landscaped. It offers multiple sun terraces, a well-maintained lawn, a garden arbor, a pond, and decorative flower borders. For gardening enthusiasts, there is a hobby greenhouse on the property. The garden surrounds the property, providing various spots to enjoy the outdoors in different conditions and times of day. The south-facing orientation of the garden is beneficial for those who enjoy spending time outdoors, as it means the garden receives sunlight for most of the day during the warmer months.

The property is located on a quiet road in the Witte Paal area of Schagen. Parking is available both on the private property and in public spaces nearby. The exterior of the property was painted in 2025, and the overall condition of maintenance is described as excellent.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across the two sections of the property, this home could accommodate various household configurations. The presence of the large atelier space with its own amenities makes it particularly suitable for those seeking a property that can serve both residential and professional purposes without compromising on living quality or outdoor space. The asking price per square meter of living space is 3,320 euros, which provides a reference point for comparing this property with others in the area.
