Senior-friendly corner house with ground floor bedroom and bathroom near village centre
Key Features
Upsides
- Ground floor bedroom and bathroom enable single-level living, which is particularly valuable for seniors or those with mobility limitations.
- Corner house position provides extra privacy, more natural light from multiple sides, and a larger garden footprint compared to mid-terrace properties.
- The central heating boiler was replaced in 2024 with a modern Remeha combination unit, reducing the likelihood of immediate maintenance costs.
- PVC window frames were installed in 2018, offering good thermal insulation, minimal maintenance requirements, and a modern appearance throughout most of the house.
- Convenient village centre location within walking distance of shops, medical facilities, restaurants, and supermarkets.
Downsides
- The rear garden faces north, which means limited direct sunlight throughout the day. This orientation may not suit buyers who prefer sunlit outdoor spaces.
- Only two bedrooms exist, with one on each floor. The second bedroom is located on the open attic floor, which may feel less private or accessible for some users.
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency. Buyers seeking lower utility costs or a greener footprint may find this insufficient without further improvements.
- The kitchen is described as simple with basic appliances. Buyers looking for a modern or fully equipped kitchen would need to invest in an upgrade.
- The ground floor bedroom is relatively modest in size and positioned at the rear, which may not appeal to everyone seeking a master bedroom on the main level.
Description
This well-maintained senior-friendly corner house was built in 1984 and offers comfortable single-level living on the ground floor, making it particularly suitable for those who prefer to avoid stairs or have mobility considerations.
The property is pleasantly situated at a short distance from the village centre, where you will find shops, medical facilities, cafes, and supermarkets within easy reach. Despite this convenient location, the home occupies a quiet spot, providing a peaceful living environment.
On the ground floor, you enter via a hall with the meter cupboard. The living room is finished with a laminate floor, textured walls, and a plastered ceiling. A large window at the front of the house lets in plenty of natural light and offers a pleasant view of the street. An electric screen is installed on this window for sun control and privacy.
The semi-open kitchen contains a straightforward kitchen arrangement including a four-burner gas hob, extractor hood, combination microwave, refrigerator, and sink. A practical storage staircase in the kitchen provides additional storage space.
The ground floor bedroom is located at the rear of the house and is finished with laminate flooring, textured walls, and a plastered ceiling. The window here is equipped with a shutter for privacy and light control.
The fully tiled bathroom is equipped with a shower cabin, bathroom furniture with a fixed washbasin, toilet, and mechanical ventilation.
A utility room houses the washing machine connection and provides access to the rear garden.
Stairs lead up to the first floor, which features a spacious open attic space. Here you will find the setup location for the central heating combination boiler, which is a Remeha gas-fired unit from 2024 and owned rather than rented. An additional bedroom is located on this floor, finished with vinyl flooring.
Outside, the private rear garden measures approximately 50 square metres and is 10 metres deep by 5 metres wide. The garden is oriented to the north and offers considerable privacy. A covered seating area provides shelter for enjoying the outdoor space in various weather conditions. A freestanding stone storage shed offers practical storage for bicycles, garden tools, or other items. The garden is accessible via a back entrance.
The house features PVC window frames that were installed in 2018, contributing to better insulation and reduced maintenance. The roof is a pitched roof covered with tiles. Accessibility features make this property suitable for people with reduced mobility or elderly residents.
The property has an energy label C rating. The total living area is 95 square metres, with an additional 6 square metres of attached outdoor space and 5 square metres of external storage. The plot measures 161 square metres with a total interior volume of 336 cubic metres. The house is registered in the land registry as MADE EN DRIMMELEN S 2951 and is held in full ownership.
