Charming Semi-Detached Home with Thatched Roof and Guesthouse in Rotterdam
Key Features
Description
This charming and atmospheric semi-detached residence is situated on a unique, rural location right in the middle of Rotterdam. The characterful home features an authentic thatched roof that perfectly combines countryside tranquility with urban convenience. Thanks to a generous extension on the ground floor, a spacious and bright living environment has been created. The property is located on a green, quiet yet central location, with shops, public transport, schools, and access roads close by. This allows residents to enjoy the best of both worlds. The surrounding area features a beautifully landscaped garden on three sides with mature planting, multiple seating areas, and ample privacy.
A real eye-catcher is the fully insulated guesthouse built in 2023, executed in a stylish wooden design, complete with its own toilet and kitchen unit. This multifunctional space is suitable as a guest accommodation, home office, practice room, or studio. In summary, a unique property with character, atmosphere, and versatile possibilities on a special location in Rotterdam.
The property is ideally situated along the lively Kleiweg, a pleasant shopping street with a varied range of shops and various hospitality establishments. Schools, sports clubs, and supermarkets are also located in the immediate vicinity, meaning all daily amenities are within easy reach. At the same time, accessibility is excellent: Melanchthon metro station, the stop for tram line 8, and Station Noord are all a short distance away. By car, you can reach the A20 and A13 motorways via the Schieplein within minutes. Additionally, the center of Rotterdam is approximately 15 minutes by bicycle, allowing you to benefit from all urban facilities while living in a somewhat quieter environment.
The ground floor layout consists of an entrance, hallway, modern toilet with small sink, and a storage cupboard. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and windows and doors on three sides providing an unobstructed view over the spacious garden. At the rear, there is an attractive glass facade with French doors leading to the back section of the garden. The luxurious and modern kitchen was installed in 2025 and includes various built-in appliances and a kitchen island. In the back garden, there is an attractive guesthouse with its own kitchen unit and toilet. Preparations have already been made for installing a shower. The back garden also has its own rear entrance and a bicycle storage area.

The house features a characteristic thatched roof. Heating and hot water are provided by a CV combination boiler. The entire house has floor insulation and is equipped with double glazing. The garden is beautifully landscaped on three sides and includes the guesthouse of approximately 18 square meters with kitchen and toilet.
The side garden measures 120 square meters, being 12 meters deep and 10 meters wide. The garden is situated on the southeast, which is favorable for sunlight exposure throughout the day. There is a freestanding wooden shed with electricity and running water.
Parking in the area consists of paid parking, public parking, and parking permits are available. The property has a volume of 410 cubic meters and the building-bound outdoor space measures 1 square meter. External storage space totals 32 square meters.
The cadastral data shows two parcels: SCHIEBROEK E 38 with a surface area of 340 square meters and SCHIEBROEK E 187 with a surface area of 100 square meters, both in full ownership. This confirms the total plot size of 440 square meters as stated in the listing.
The property has a mechanical ventilation system and natural ventilation options. A flue is present for the wood-burning fireplace, and a TV cable connection is available. The energy label is E, which is typical for a property of this age, though the recent insulation improvements and double glazing contribute to better energy efficiency than the original construction would have provided.
The asking price is 995,000 euros, which translates to approximately 8,361 euros per square meter of living space. Transfer is available in consultation. The property status is currently available.
