Description
This charming semi-detached house, known in Dutch as a twee-onder-een-kapwoning, is situated in the welcoming village of Zuidwolde. Built in 1957, this characterful property offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a renovation project in a desirable location.
The house provides 71 square meters of living space spread across two floors, with additional storage available in the form of a free-standing stone shed measuring 9 square meters. The property sits on a generously sized plot of 314 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for various purposes.
Upon entering the home, residents will find a well-proportioned layout comprising four rooms in total, including three bedrooms. This makes the property particularly suitable for small families, couples, or individuals who require additional space for a home office or hobby room. The accommodation includes one bathroom equipped with a shower, as well as a separate toilet, ensuring practical daily functionality for multiple household members.
One of the standout features of this property is its outdoor space. The house boasts both a spacious front garden and a particularly deep back garden, offering residents versatile options for outdoor living, gardening, or potential future extensions (subject to necessary permissions). The garden surrounding the property creates a pleasant environment and adds to the overall appeal of the home.
The property is conveniently located near the centre of Zuidwolde, meaning shops, restaurants, and other village amenities are within easy walking distance. Zuidwolde itself is described as a cheerful and green village with excellent facilities and an active community life. The surrounding greenery contributes to the pleasant atmosphere and makes this an attractive place to call home.
However, prospective buyers should be aware that this property requires significant renovation work. Classified as a kluswoning, the house presents opportunities for buyers to customize and modernize according to their own preferences and requirements. This renovation aspect should be carefully considered when planning a purchase, as it will require additional investment and planning.
The energy performance of the property is currently rated as label E, which indicates relatively poor energy efficiency. The house features partial double glazing, meaning some windows are double glazed while others are not. Hot water is provided by means of a rental gas water heater (geiser), which represents an ongoing monthly cost for the new owner. These factors should be taken into account when budgeting for the purchase and planning renovation work, as improving energy efficiency could be a priority for future inhabitants.
The property is being sold as part of a larger divestment project by a housing corporation, which explains the special sales conditions that apply. There is a defined priority system for interested buyers, with current tenants of the housing corporation who face demolition situations receiving first consideration, followed by other housing corporation tenants from the same municipality, then young starters under 35 from the municipality, and so on. This structured approach ensures that certain groups have priority in accessing this property.
Should multiple interested parties fall within the same priority category, prospective buyers will be invited to submit offers, with the priority system determining the order in which these offers are considered.
The house is offered at an asking price of 294,500 euros, including transfer costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 4,148 euros per square meter of living space. The acceptance of the property is subject to mutual agreement, with the timing to be determined in consultation between buyer and seller.
The property is sold with full ownership (volle eigendom), providing the new owner with complete control over the property without any leasehold arrangements.
Access to additional information about this property, including detailed brochures outlining the special sales conditions, can be obtained by logging into the viewing platform. Prospective buyers are encouraged to arrange a visit during the scheduled open house to personally assess the property's potential and condition.
This semi-detached house represents an interesting proposition for those willing to undertake a renovation project in a pleasant village setting with good amenities and community spirit. The combination of the property's location, plot size, and renovation potential makes it worthy of serious consideration for suitable candidates.
