Charming Semi-Detached Home with Deep Garden and Country Views
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptionally large plot of 885 m² with a remarkably deep backyard of 75 meters, featuring a pond and open views over the surrounding landscape, creating a private and serene outdoor living space.
- Thirteen owned solar panels that contribute to reduced energy costs, along with modern features including air conditioning in both the kitchen and rear bedroom for year-round comfort.
- The possibility to create a third bedroom on the first floor provides flexibility for growing families or those needing additional living space such as a home office.
- Rural location with unobstructed views at the rear, while still maintaining convenient access to schools, shops, and major roads within close proximity.
Downsides
- The roof contains asbestos combined with tiles, which will eventually require specialized and costly removal during future renovation or maintenance work.
- Only two bedrooms are currently available, which may be insufficient for larger families without undertaking renovation work to add the potential third bedroom.
- The energy label is rated E, and although the listing claims additional insulation has been added, this outdated rating may affect mortgage options or indicate higher energy costs.
- The bathroom is located on the ground floor rather than the first floor, which is an unusual layout that may not suit all preferences or lifestyle needs.
- The property was built in 1932, meaning potential buyers should be prepared for possible hidden issues typical of older construction despite the partial renovations.
Description
This charming semi-detached residence is situated in the peaceful village of Obbicht, offering a rural living environment surrounded by greenery and open space. The property occupies a generous plot of 885 square meters, providing ample room for gardening, recreation, and outdoor enjoyment. The home was originally constructed in 1932 but has undergone significant renovation work to modernize key elements while preserving its character.
The location combines the tranquility of countryside living with convenient access to daily necessities. Schools, shops, and major road connections are all within close proximity, making this an ideal setting for those who value both privacy and accessibility. The property is positioned outside the built-up area yet within a residential neighborhood, creating a pleasant balance between seclusion and community.
Upon approaching the property, one notices the detached stone garage equipped with an electric sectional door and an additional meter cupboard. The driveway provides ample parking space on the property. The front garden leads to the main entrance of the home.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that houses the electrical meter cupboard and provides access to both the staircase leading to the upper floor and the basement below. The basement serves as a practical storage space, ideal for storing provisions and household items.
From the entrance hall, one proceeds into the living room, which features a tiled floor with comfortable underfloor heating. This creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxation and entertaining. The living area flows naturally toward the rear of the property.
Adjacent to the living room is the L-shaped kitchen, which has been designed as a live-in kitchen space. This area is equipped with air conditioning for year-round comfort. The kitchen installation includes a combination microwave oven, gas cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The kitchen provides direct access to both the garden and the bathroom, creating a practical flow for daily living.
The spacious bathroom on the ground floor is notably well-appointed, featuring a walk-in shower with massage function, a whirlpool bathtub, a double vanity with cabinet, and a floating toilet. Additionally, this room houses the connections for laundry appliances and the central heating installation. Having the bathroom on the ground floor can be particularly convenient for those who prefer to avoid stairs or for multi-generational living arrangements.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase from the entrance hall. The landing provides access to two spacious bedrooms. Both bedrooms are fitted with roller shutters, offering light control and additional insulation. The rear bedroom additionally features air conditioning, ensuring comfortable sleeping conditions even during warm summer nights.
According to the listing, there exists the possibility to create a third bedroom on this floor, which could be valuable for growing families or those needing a home office space. The current configuration of two bedrooms may suit various lifestyle needs, but the option to expand is certainly an advantage.
The attic space is accessible via a pull-down ladder and serves as practical storage area for seasonal items and belongings not needed on a daily basis.
One of the most remarkable features of this property is the exceptionally deep backyard, measuring approximately 75 meters in length and 8 meters in width, totaling about 600 square meters. The garden is oriented to the south, ensuring maximum sunlight exposure throughout the day. A charming pond feature adds to the aesthetic appeal and creates a serene focal point. The open position at the rear of the garden provides sweeping views over the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of space and privacy.
The garden includes two storage sheds, providing ample space for gardening tools, bicycles, and outdoor equipment. The combination of the deep garden, pond, open views, and lush greenery creates an oasis of calm that can be enjoyed in all seasons.
From a technical perspective, the property benefits from several modern upgrades. Thirteen solar panels are installed and owned outright, contributing to reduced energy costs. The window frames are made of plastic with double glazing, improving thermal efficiency. Wall insulation and floor insulation have also been added.
The central heating system is a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2016, which is included in the sale as owned property. Partial underfloor heating on the ground floor supplements the radiator system.
The energy label is currently rated E, though the listing notes this is an outdated label and that additional insulation measures have been implemented since the label was issued. Prospective buyers may wish to request an updated energy performance certificate to reflect the current state of the property.
It should be noted that the roof is described as containing both asbestos and tiles. This is an important consideration for future maintenance or renovation plans, as asbestos removal requires specialized handling and can involve additional costs.
The property is offered at an asking price of 329,000 euros, which is equivalent to approximately 2,938 euros per square meter of living space. The sale will be handled through a notary, with the buyer required to provide a deposit or bank guarantee of ten percent of the purchase price within three days of the agreement becoming unconditional.
As with any property purchase, prospective buyers are advised to conduct their own building inspection to assess the structural condition and identify any potential issues. The listing explicitly states that the provided information is compiled with care but cannot be guaranteed, and neither the sellers nor the selling agent can be held liable for any inaccuracies.
This semi-detached home in Obbicht presents an interesting opportunity for buyers seeking a property with character, generous outdoor space, and a peaceful rural setting. The combination of a large plot, deep garden with open views, modern amenities such as solar panels and air conditioning, and the potential to add a third bedroom makes this a property worth considering for those willing to undertake possible further improvements.
The surrounding area of Obbicht offers a quiet village atmosphere while remaining connected to larger urban centers through nearby arterial roads. This makes it suitable for commuters who prefer to return to a tranquil home environment at the end of the day. The presence of schools and shops within walking or cycling distance adds to the practical appeal of the location.
In summary, this property offers a unique combination of rural charm, modern conveniences, and expansion potential, all situated on an exceptionally large plot that provides privacy and a connection to nature that is increasingly rare in residential properties.
