Upsides

  • Four spacious bedrooms provide flexibility for families or home office use.
  • Energy label A combined with solar panels and a hybrid heat pump results in low utility costs.
  • Modern kitchen and bathroom renovations completed in recent years mean the home is move‑in ready.
  • Southwest facing garden with a covered veranda offers pleasant outdoor living space.
  • Location within walking distance to a park, schools and childcare facilities makes daily life convenient.

Downsides

  • Being a townhouse means side walls are shared with neighboring properties, which may affect privacy.
  • The attic floor is accessed by a fixed staircase, which could be challenging for people with limited mobility.
  • Garden size is modest, limiting space for larger outdoor activities or extensive landscaping.
  • The building was constructed in 1969, so some structural elements may require future monitoring despite recent upgrades.
  • Separate toilet facilities increase plumbing complexity and may lead to higher maintenance requirements.

Description

This property is situated in a family oriented neighbourhood called t Veld. The street is calm and the surrounding area offers easy access to a nearby park, open countryside, primary schools and childcare facilities. The location makes daily routines convenient for families with children of any age.

The house was originally built in 1969 and has been carefully maintained over the years. The overall living space measures 113 square metres and sits on a plot of 177 square metres. The total volume of the building is 412 cubic metres which provides a comfortable sense of space on each floor. The roof is a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles and the exterior walls are insulated with modern insulation materials. The windows are fitted with high performance glazing that contributes to the high energy rating of the dwelling.

The ground floor welcomes visitors with an entrance hall that includes a distribution board and a small storage closet. A convenient toilet with a wash basin is positioned close to the entrance for guests. To the side of the hall a spacious living room stretches across the width of the house. Natural light floods the room through large windows and a wood burning stove provides a cosy source of heat during colder months. The chimney was replaced in 2023 ensuring safe and efficient operation. Adjacent to the living room is a dining area that flows directly into the open kitchen. The kitchen was completely modernised in 2021 and is equipped with a built in refrigerator, a combined oven and microwave, a dishwasher, an induction cooktop and a stainless steel extractor hood. All appliances are integrated into the kitchen cabinetry for a sleek appearance.

A staircase leads to the first floor where a landing connects three generously sized bedrooms. Each bedroom benefits from ample natural light and built in wardrobes that provide practical storage solutions. The family bathroom was renovated in 2026 and features a modern vanity unit, a walk‑in shower and a separate toilet. High quality fixtures and contemporary tiling give the bathroom a fresh and clean look.

Above the first floor a fixed staircase provides access to the attic level. The attic has been finished to a high standard and includes two roof windows that allow daylight to illuminate the space. The fourth bedroom is located on this level and is fitted with built in closets, making it suitable for a teenager or for use as a home office. The attic also offers a sizable landing area that could be used as a small lounge or play area.

The outdoor area is oriented to the south west, providing a sunny garden throughout most of the day. A covered veranda creates a pleasant spot for outdoor dining or relaxation regardless of the weather. Direct access to the garden is provided through a rear side gate, making it easy to move garden tools in and out. Within the garden there is a solid stone storage building that can be reached under the veranda roof, offering secure space for bicycles, garden equipment or seasonal items. In addition a wooden garden shed is positioned near the rear of the property, providing extra storage capacity for tools and supplies.

Energy efficiency is a strong point of this home. The property holds an energy label A, reflecting the combination of measures that have been implemented over recent years. A gas powered combination boiler installed in 2021 works together with a hybrid heat pump added in 2024, delivering flexible heating and hot water solutions. Eight photovoltaic panels were installed in 2022 and generate a portion of the household electricity, further reducing utility costs and environmental impact. The building envelope benefits from roof insulation, wall insulation and high performance glazing, all of which contribute to the low energy consumption.

Parking is available on the street in front of the property and there are additional spaces for visitors in the immediate neighbourhood. The property is owned outright and is transferred in full ownership, removing the need for shared ownership arrangements. The sale conditions require a bank guarantee or a cash deposit equal to ten percent of the purchase price to secure the buyer’s obligations. An age clause will be incorporated into the purchase agreement as standard practice.

Overall the house offers a well balanced combination of size, modern amenities, energy performance and a family friendly location. The four bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family or for households that need separate rooms for work and leisure. The recent updates to the kitchen, bathroom, heating system and solar installation mean that the new owner will benefit from contemporary comforts without the need for immediate renovations. The garden and outdoor storage options add functional outdoor living space that is well suited to an active lifestyle.

Potential buyers should consider the fact that the property is part of a row of similar houses, which can influence privacy at the side walls. The layout includes a separate toilet on the ground floor and an additional toilet within the main bathroom, which may be seen as a benefit but also adds complexity to plumbing maintenance. The attic level is accessed by a fixed staircase rather than a lift, so mobility limited occupants may need to evaluate the practicality of the upper floor. The garden, while south west facing, is modest in size at around twenty square metres, so larger outdoor activities will need to be planned accordingly. Finally, the property’s age of more than fifty years means that some structural elements may require monitoring over time, even though recent renovations have addressed many key areas.

In summary this well maintained and energy efficient townhouse presents a compelling opportunity for families seeking a comfortable home in a quiet residential setting with easy access to schools, parks and local amenities. The combination of modern interior finishes, renewable energy installations and functional outdoor spaces creates a living environment that meets contemporary standards while retaining the charm of a classic mid‑twentieth century build.
