Spacious semi-detached family home with sunny garden near station
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A with 21 solar panels and full insulation including roof, walls, floor, and double glazing
- Spacious 139 m² southwest-facing garden providing excellent afternoon and evening sun
- Converted garage offering a flexible home office or fifth bedroom space
- Well-equipped kitchen with high-end Bosch appliances and a Quooker instant hot water tap
- Convenient location within walking distance of the train station, schools, and local amenities with easy access to Leiden, Amsterdam, and The Hague
Downsides
- Only one full bathroom for four bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger households
- The CV boiler (Remeha from 2011) is approaching 15 years old and may require replacement in the near future
- The converted garage means the property lacks a traditional indoor garage or enclosed parking
- Perceel of 255 m² is relatively modest for a 170 m² house with a large garden, which could limit outdoor space for activities beyond the existing garden layout
- Relatively high asking price per square metre at €4,971 compared to broader regional averages for comparable properties
Description
This well-maintained semi-detached family home is located at Jan van der Jagtstraat 1 in Voorhout. Built in 1996, the property offers approximately 170 square metres of living space spread across three floors, together with a plot of 255 square metres.
The ground floor entrance leads into a spacious hall with a meter cupboard, a separate toilet with hand basin, a neat coat wardrobe, and the staircase to the upper floors. The ground floor has been designed with an open layout, where the large living room flows directly into the open kitchen. The living room benefits from large windows that flood the space with natural light, and at the rear there is a tastefully finished gas fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere. Underfloor heating is installed throughout the ground floor, with the exception of the home office. The open kitchen is equipped with a range of built-in appliances by Bosch, including a five-burner induction hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, combination oven, and a Quooker instant hot water tap. There is also a practical storage cupboard under the stairs for kitchen equipment and other items. From the kitchen window you enjoy an open view over the surrounding area and the green space in front of the house.
One of the notable features of this property is the converted garage, which has been fully renovated into a home office. The space has smoothly plastered walls and a plastered ceiling. This room can also be used as a fifth bedroom or hobby room, offering flexibility for different household needs.
The rear garden and side garden are accessible from both the living room and the home office. The garden faces southwest and measures 139 square metres (9.36 by 14.81 metres). It is partly tiled and partly laid out as green garden, offering plenty of opportunity to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun in privacy. Adjacent to the home office is a brick storage shed, ideal for storing bicycles or tools. At the front of the property there is a wide private driveway with an electric car charging point, providing off-street parking for one car.
The first floor comprises a landing that gives access to all rooms. At the centre of the landing is a separate toilet and a built-in storage cupboard that provides additional storage space. The bedroom at the front is spacious and features a practical wall wardrobe, with pleasant views over the surrounding green area. The two additional bedrooms at the rear are both well-sized and enjoy good natural light thanks to large windows. The bathroom is neatly finished and equipped with a bath, a spacious walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a heated towel radiator. A practical advantage is that the mirror above the vanity is heated, preventing it from steaming up.
The second floor features a landing and a fourth bedroom. This bedroom has a dormer window and ample storage space in the knee walls. The CV boiler (a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2011, owned) is neatly housed in this bedroom. On the landing there is also the connection for a washing machine and dryer.
The property has an energy label A and is very well insulated, with roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, floor insulation, and full insulation throughout. There are 21 solar panels installed on the roof, contributing to lower energy costs. Heating is provided by the central heating boiler and the gas fireplace, with hot water supplied by the central heating system.
The location is a significant advantage. The property is situated in a green and child-friendly neighbourhood on a central spot in Voorhout. Playgrounds and schools are within walking distance, as is the centre of Voorhout with its wide range of facilities including supermarkets, varied shops, restaurants, and the train station. The nearby arterial roads make the surrounding cities of Leiden, Amsterdam, and The Hague quickly and easily accessible.
