Unique Detached Home in the Heart of Gilze

This detached residential property is situated in the central area of Gilze, offering a unique and distinctive design that sets it apart from surrounding homes. The house was originally constructed in 1980 and has been well maintained over the years, with notable improvements including a completely renewed and insulated roof installed in 2006. The property benefits from a central location within the village, providing convenient access to local amenities while maintaining the character of a detached single family home.

The ground floor of the property features a practical and well organized layout. Upon entering through the main entrance, you are welcomed into a hallway that has been finished with tile flooring. This hallway includes a dedicated closet space for coats and shoes, providing a tidy transition from outside to inside. Adjacent to this is a partially tiled toilet room that is equipped with a wall hung toilet and a small wash basin, offering convenience for both residents and guests. The electrical meter cabinet is also located in the hallway and contains eight circuit groups and two earth leakage switches, which indicates a reasonably modern electrical installation.

From the hallway, there is direct access to both the living room and the kitchen, allowing for a natural flow between the main living spaces. The living room spans nearly thirty square meters and features an L shaped configuration that creates distinct zones within the space. The seating area is positioned at the front of the house and incorporates a gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to the room. The entire living room is finished with high quality tile flooring that includes an underfloor heating system, ensuring comfortable temperatures throughout the colder months without the need for radiators that would take up wall space.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor and is designed in an L shaped arrangement. This kitchen is fully equipped with essential appliances including a refrigerator, a combination microwave oven, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a gas cooktop. Additionally, there is a separate pantry cupboard that provides extra storage space for food items and kitchen supplies. A door in the kitchen provides direct access to the backyard, making it convenient for outdoor dining or bringing in groceries.

The outdoor space at the rear of the property has been designed to be low maintenance. The backyard includes a paved terrace area suitable for outdoor furniture, and there is a wide gate that provides access to the rear. There is also a second rear entrance, offering flexibility in how the outdoor space is used. The total depth of the backyard is approximately eight point nine two meters with a width of eight point nine three meters.

At the back of the garden, there is a masonry storage building that measures three point four one meters by four point one nine meters. This storage building has been constructed with a cavity wall for improved insulation and is equipped with electrical power. Adjacent to this storage building is a masonry carport that measures five point five five meters by four point two six meters. The listing notes that this carport can easily be converted into a fully enclosed garage simply by installing a garage door, which would provide secure covered parking or additional storage space.

The first floor of the property is accessed via a staircase from the ground floor hallway. The upper hallway provides access to the main bedroom and the bathroom. The bedroom on this floor is located at the front of the house and measures four point nine nine meters by four point four two meters, offering a spacious room. The listing mentions that this floor previously had two bedrooms, suggesting that the current configuration could potentially be reverted if a buyer prefers having three bedrooms instead of two.

The bathroom on the first floor was renovated in 2018 and is finished in light colored tiles throughout. This bathroom is well appointed with underfloor heating for comfort, a walk in shower, a double vanity with a matching cabinet, a wall hung toilet, and a design radiator. The combination of modern fixtures and the light color scheme creates a contemporary and inviting space.

The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase, distinguishing it from properties that might use a pull down ladder for attic access. On this floor, there is a second bedroom located at the front of the house. This bedroom measures four point nine nine meters by three point seven six meters and features a dormer window that adds natural light and headroom to the space. Behind the knee walls, there are additional storage compartments that make practical use of the angled ceiling areas. This bedroom also has its own wash basin, adding convenience for the occupant.

At the rear of the second floor, there is a storage area that houses the heating system. The property is heated by a Remeha high efficiency combination boiler that was installed in 2022, which is a relatively new and efficient unit. This boiler is owned rather than rented, which means there are no ongoing lease payments for the heating system.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been awarded an energy label D. The building benefits from various insulation measures including roof insulation that was installed during the 2006 roof renovation, partial double glazing on the windows, wall insulation, and floor insulation. While the energy label indicates there is room for improvement, the presence of multiple insulation measures provides a foundation that could potentially be enhanced with further upgrades such as complete double glazing or additional insulation.

The property sits on a plot of one hundred seventy five square meters, which includes the house footprint, the backyard, and the area occupied by the carport and storage building. The total living area of the house is one hundred three square meters, and the internal volume is three hundred sixty eight cubic meters. Parking is available on the property itself, either in the carport or on the driveway area.

Connectivity options at the property include both fiber optic cable and television cable, which are available for connection to internet and entertainment services. The property is being offered at a price of three hundred ninety eight thousand euros, with the additional costs associated with the purchase being borne by the buyer as is customary in the Netherlands. The asking price translates to approximately three thousand eight hundred sixty four euros per square meter of living space.

The acceptance date and terms are to be discussed, allowing flexibility for the buyer in planning their move. The property is currently available on the market and is offered with full ownership rights, meaning there are no leasehold or ground lease arrangements to consider. The cadastral designation for the property is recorded as GILZE EN RIJEN L 1031.
