Characteristic 1930s Semi-Detached Dike House with Views Over Ringvaart and Meadows

This characteristic semi-detached dike house dating from around 1930 is situated on the Lijnderdijk in the village of Lijnden. The property enjoys a unique location with views over the Ringvaart at the front and open meadows at the rear. The dwelling stands on a spacious plot of 280 square meters and offers the opportunity for renovation according to the buyer's own taste and preferences.

The living area of the property measures approximately 68 square meters, distributed across the ground floor and first floor. Additionally, there is approximately 47 square meters of other indoor space, which includes a basement, an attic space, and an adjoining glass conservancy that serves as a hobby room. A NEN2580 measurement report executed by an external bureau is available, confirming these measurements.

Access to the property is via an authentic wooden front door located on the side of the dwelling. This entrance leads into a small hallway that provides access to the living room on the ground floor and the staircase to the upper floor. The ground floor layout comprises a living room with a cozy seating area featuring a bay window and a wood-burning stove at the front of the house. From this seating area, one can enjoy views over the water of the Ringvaart. At the rear of the ground floor, there is a half-open kitchen with a dining area that offers pleasant views of the meadow landscape behind the property.

From the kitchen, a narrow balcony at the rear can be reached, as well as the basement. The basement has a ceiling height of approximately 1.90 meters and contains a hobby room, the bathroom, a separate toilet room, and access to the crawl space beneath the property. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a shower area, and a washbasin. From the basement, one can enter the large and inviting glass conservancy or hobby room that was installed around 2006 with the required permits. This glass structure can also be accessed directly from the backyard and adds a distinctive feature to the property.

The first floor of the dwelling contains two bedrooms, each benefiting from a dormer window at either the front or rear of the house. Additionally, there is a toilet room on this floor, which is fitted with a macerator toilet. A loft ladder on the landing provides access to the spacious attic where the CV combi boiler is installed. The attic has a ridge height of approximately 2.30 meters, offering potential for further development subject to obtaining the necessary permits.

The outdoor spaces of this property are particularly noteworthy. The plot of 280 square meters is arranged with a front garden, a broad side garden, and a sunny backyard facing southwest. The backyard has been laid out with paving and various borders containing established planting. Adjacent to the dwelling stands the large glass conservancy mentioned earlier. The property further includes a second smaller freestanding greenhouse, a wooden storage shed for firewood, and a sizeable pond situated in the front and side garden area. The front garden faces southeast and contributes to privacy within the home.

The seller has a rental agreement with the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland for a docking facility with a boat located opposite the property. The annual costs for this arrangement currently amount to 308 euros. In August 2025, the seller received a quotation from the Hoogheemraadschap indicating that the buyout sum for this water plot would be 5,700 euros, excluding transfer tax and Kadaster fees.

An important aspect of this property is that it is subject to a perpetual right of emphyteusis issued by the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, with a growth period applicable from November 1, 2009 to June 1, 2027. The annual retribution for the period from November 1, 2025 to November 1, 2026 is 1,391 euros. This retribution is adjusted every five years according to the terms set out in the deed of grant of the right of emphyteusis, which can be requested through the estate agent's office.

Regarding the condition of the property, the interior has been reasonably maintained while the exterior has been moderately to reasonably maintained. The windows are largely fitted with double glazing set in wooden or plastic frames. The property participated in the Schiphol Noise Insulation Project, which has contributed to improved sound insulation. The energy label is D, valid until June 24, 2030, though this has not been recently applied for. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi CV boiler that is owned by the seller. Wood-burning stoves are present in both the living room seating area and the glass conservancy.

The location of Lijnderdijk offers a distinctive living experience combining countryside surroundings with proximity to urban amenities. The property is situated along the Ringvaart, providing immediate access to waterways. Despite the rural setting, the cities of Amsterdam and Haarlem are within easy reach. Daily amenities including shops and primary schools can be found in the nearby towns of Badhoevedorp and Zwanenburg. The property benefits from good connections to major highways including the A9, A4, A5, and A10, accessible via the dike road or the Hoofdvaart. Public transport is available from a bus stop on the Hoofdvaart providing connections to Schiphol North and surrounding areas.

The property is offered at an asking price of 385,000 euros, buyer's costs applicable. The seller reserves the right to select the buyer. Transfer will take place through a designated notary, details of which can be obtained through the estate agent's office. Delivery can take place by mutual agreement and can be arranged quickly if desired.

Various clauses will be included in the purchase agreement, including an age clause, an asbestos clause, a non-owner-occupancy clause, an energy label clause, and a NEN measurement clause. The specific wording of these clauses can be requested from the estate agent. It is important to note that under Dutch law, a verbal agreement between private seller and private buyer is not legally binding.
