Key Features
Description
This semi-detached property is situated on H. Berrelkampstraat in the village of Woldendorp, which falls under the municipality of Eemsdelta in the province of Groningen. The house was originally constructed in 1946 and is being offered for sale at an asking price of 159,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated transaction costs.
The living area of the property measures 68 square meters, while the total plot size is 299 square meters. Additionally, there is 13 square meters of other indoor space and 29 square meters of external storage space. The total volume of the building is 275 cubic meters. The property features two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a separate toilet on the ground floor.
The property is classified as a semi-detached house, specifically a two-under-one-cap dwelling. It has a gabled roof covered with tiles. The current energy label is E, indicating that there is room for improvement in terms of energy efficiency. The windows are fitted with plastic frames, and most of the glazing is double glazed. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired Intergas Kompakt HR combination boiler, which is owned by the current proprietor.
The ground floor layout comprises an entrance hall with stair access, a cellar, a basic toilet, an L-shaped living room measuring approximately 26 square meters, a closed kitchen of around 6 square meters equipped with simple kitchen fittings, and a utility room that also serves as a laundry area and storage space, measuring about 4 square meters.
The first floor contains a landing with a built-in closet, two bedrooms measuring approximately 7 and 9 square meters respectively, additional fixed closet space, and a simple bathroom fitted with a shower and a fixed washbasin. The second floor consists of an attic space, which provides additional storage potential.
Outside, the property benefits from a driveway providing on-site parking, as well as both a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden is advantageously oriented to the west, allowing for afternoon and evening sun exposure. Behind the main residence stands a detached wooden garage with capacity for one vehicle, alongside a separate stone storage building.
The property is located in a low-traffic street characterized by an abundance of greenery, contributing to a peaceful residential environment. The house is described as straightforward in terms of its current condition and appearance, and it is being sold under an "as is, where is" clause, which clearly identifies it as a renovation project requiring attention and improvement.
This property may hold particular appeal for first-time buyers entering the housing market, as well as for individuals with DIY skills who are seeking a project to customize according to their own preferences and requirements. The listing notes that there are often possibilities for a starter loan from the municipality of Eemsdelta, which could provide additional financial assistance to eligible purchasers.
A significant aspect of this listing concerns the availability of subsidy schemes that could substantially reduce the cost of improving and insulating the property. From 2025 onwards, the property qualifies under the "Nij Begun" regulation, which offers a subsidy of up to 40,000 euros for insulation measures. Notably, an insulation plan has already been prepared under this scheme, meaning that there is no waiting period and work could commence promptly after purchase. Furthermore, there is a potential SSN subsidy of 10,000 euros available for home improvement and sustainability measures. These financial incentives represent considerable opportunities for a buyer to enhance the property's energy performance and overall condition.
The village of Woldendorp itself offers a primary school and VMBO, HAVO, and VWO school within walking distance, which may be relevant for families with school-age children. Beyond the village boundaries, the surrounding landscape provides extensive polders and access to the Eems and Dollard dike, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the natural environment. The nearby village of Termunterzijl, with its picturesque harbor, is also mentioned as a local point of interest for recreational purposes.
For access to larger urban centers, the towns of Delfzijl and Scheemda can be reached by car in approximately 15 to 20 minutes, providing access to a wider range of amenities, services, and employment opportunities.
In summary, this property presents itself as an affordable entry point into the housing market in a rural Groningen setting. While it requires renovation work and modernization, the combination of the available subsidies, the presence of a garage and storage buildings, the garden with favorable orientation, and the peaceful village location may make it a proposition worth considering for the target audience of starters and renovation enthusiasts. The listing has been placed on the Funda platform and is currently available for viewing arrangements by interested parties.
