Description
This property is presented as a semi detached family residence located on a quiet and well liked street a short distance from the centre of Hulst. The building was constructed around 1960 and offers a solid structural framework that can be adapted to a wide range of personal tastes. The total living area measures approximately 121 square metres, providing a comfortable amount of space for a typical family layout. The ground floor consists of an open plan living room that benefits from large glazing doors leading directly onto the garden. This connection creates a pleasant flow between indoor and outdoor areas and allows natural light to fill the main living space throughout the day.
The kitchen on the ground level is functional and provides direct access to a separate utility room, a hallway and the living room. While the kitchen finishes are modest, the layout supports easy movement and the possibility of future renovation. The property still contains single pane windows, which reflects its original construction period and indicates that the home may benefit from upgraded glazing for improved energy performance. The heating system is a gas powered central heating boiler installed in 2017, offering a relatively recent source of warmth for the dwelling.
Moving to the first floor, there are three generously sized bedrooms that can accommodate a variety of bedroom arrangements. The floor also includes a family bathroom equipped with a bathtub, a toilet and a wash basin. Above the main living spaces a loft area provides additional storage capacity, which can be useful for seasonal items or other household needs. The interior finishes are typical of a home of this age, and the overall condition is described as dated, presenting an opportunity for a buyer who wishes to modernise the interior according to personal preferences.
One of the most appealing aspects of the property is the outdoor environment. The rear garden measures roughly 126 square metres and is oriented to the south, ensuring that sunlight is available for the majority of the day. Access to the garden is provided through the rear doors of the living room and also via a side entrance that leads to a garage. The garage is constructed of brick, includes electrical connections and has a water supply, making it suitable for use as a workshop or for vehicle storage. In addition to the garage there is a separate stone outbuilding that can serve as a storage shed. Both sides of the house feature driveways, offering ample parking space for residents and visitors on the property itself.
The location of the home combines the benefits of a peaceful residential setting with convenient proximity to local amenities. Hulst is known for its historic fortifications, a vibrant town centre and a range of shops, restaurants and services that are within easy walking distance. Major road links to Belgium and to larger Dutch cities such as Antwerp are readily accessible, making the site attractive for commuters as well as those who enjoy occasional trips across the border. Public transport options are also available nearby, further enhancing the connectivity of the location.
Key factual details include a plot size of 370 square metres, a total built volume of 562 cubic metres and a land registration reference indicating full ownership. The property is offered for sale with a standard requirement for a bank guarantee or security deposit equal to ten percent of the purchase price. The sales contract will contain additional clauses addressing the age of the building and the potential presence of asbestos, as well as the appointment of a project notary to handle the conveyancing process.
The home is currently listed for sale and interested parties are invited to arrange a viewing by contacting the selling agency via telephone or email. The agency emphasizes the importance of scheduling an appointment in advance so that the property can be prepared for visits and potential buyers can experience the space in the best possible condition. Prospective owners are encouraged to consider the flexibility that the property offers for renovation, the sizeable garden, and the convenient location when evaluating their purchase decision.
Overall, the residence presents a blend of traditional construction, generous internal space and a well positioned garden that receives abundant sunlight. While the interior requires modernization to meet contemporary standards, the recent boiler installation and the presence of multiple parking options add functional value. The quiet street setting, combined with the short distance to the town centre and easy access to major transport routes, makes the property a solid candidate for families seeking a home with development potential in the Hulst area.
