Description
This charming dike house is situated in the heart of Ooltgensplaat on Molendijk. The property represents an interesting opportunity for those entering the housing market, offering a combination of location, atmosphere, and affordability. The home is positioned in the pleasant center of the village, which means that daily necessities such as a supermarket are within walking distance, as is public transportation. Parking is available in the immediate surroundings of the property.
Ooltgensplaat itself is a village that offers both tranquility and the characteristic coziness of a rural community. The location on a dike gives the property its distinctive character, typical of the South Holland landscape in this region. The property sits on a plot of 100 square meters of leasehold land, with the perpetual leasehold held from the municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee. The annual leasehold cost is notably low at 2.38 euros per year, making this financial aspect very manageable.
The layout of the home is spread across multiple levels. On the ground floor, one of the bedrooms is located, which can be practical for those who prefer not to climb stairs to reach their sleeping quarters. Also situated on this level is a simple bathroom that is equipped with a toilet, a shower, and a washing machine connection. Additionally, there is an indoor storage space on the ground floor, providing room for storing household items, tools, or other belongings.
The first floor contains the main living areas of the home. Here you will find the living room and the kitchen. The kitchen comes with various built-in appliances, which means the new owner will not need to immediately invest in major kitchen equipment. Also located on this floor is the second bedroom, bringing the total number of bedrooms to two.
The second floor consists of an attic space that is accessible via a fixed staircase. This attic can be arranged as additional storage space, which is valuable in a home of this size. Having a fixed staircase to the attic is more convenient than a pull-down ladder and makes accessing this space easier on a daily basis.
Outside, the property features a courtyard and a garden facing northwest. The northwest orientation means the garden will receive afternoon and evening sun during the summer months. Outdoor spaces like these contribute to the livability of a home, especially during the warmer parts of the year.
The home is equipped with shutters all around, which provide benefits in terms of privacy, security, and light control. The windows feature double glazing, and the property has wall insulation, which are improvements that help with energy efficiency and comfort. The energy label is E, which indicates there is room for further energy efficiency improvements if desired.
Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating installation. The boiler is an Intergas combi boiler from 2011, which is gas-fired and owned by the current owner. A boiler from 2011 has an expected remaining useful life, though future replacement should be kept in mind as part of long-term maintenance planning.
The property was built in 1910, which gives it historical character but also means that certain aspects of the home reflect the building standards and materials of that era. The roof is a composite roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 57 square meters according to the measurement report, with an additional 22 square meters of other indoor space. The total volume of the home is 297 cubic meters.
The cadastral data shows two parcels: one of 67 square meters and one of 33 square meters, both subject to leasehold. The first parcel is described as ownership burdened with leasehold, while the second is municipal ownership burdened with leasehold. The distinction between these two cadastral descriptions may relate to historical property divisions but does not affect the practical use of the property.
With three rooms in total, including two bedrooms, this home is suitable for a single person, a couple, or possibly a small household. The asking price is 179,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,140 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and the transfer date can be agreed upon with the seller.
For those looking for an affordable entry into the property market in a village setting with basic amenities nearby, this dike house in Ooltgensplaat presents a consideration worth exploring. The combination of a central village location, low ongoing leasehold costs, and the presence of essential features like double glazing and shutters makes this a property with practical appeal for the right buyer.
