Versatile hospitality property with residential space in Sas van Gent

This property located at Noordweststraat 11 in Sas van Gent presents itself as a versatile hospitality building with residential accommodation. The building is currently functioning as a multifunctional meeting venue where various associations gather for music events, billiards, carnival activities, and meetings. The asking price is set at 395,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs.

Sas van Gent is a village in the southwestern part of the Netherlands, situated in the province of Zeeland. The property is located in the center of the village on a quiet road, which combines a central position with a relatively peaceful setting. This location can be advantageous for a hospitality business that relies on local patronage while also offering a pleasant residential environment.

The building dates from 1885 and has a gabled roof covered with tiles. Despite its age, the property has been maintained and updated where necessary. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler from Intergas, which was installed in 2022 and is owned by the current proprietor. Additionally, there is a geyser for hot water. The property has fiber optic connectivity and is equipped with roller shutters.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the various spaces on this level. Directly from the entrance, one reaches the central café area, which measures approximately 90 square meters. The bar occupies a prominent position within this space. Behind the bar, there is a door leading to a cellar of about 25 square meters, which serves as useful storage space. To the right of the entrance, there is an additional large room of approximately 45 square meters. This room has its own separate entrance, making it suitable for use as an independent seating area, meeting room, or multifunctional hall. Continuing straight from the entrance leads to the billiard hall, which is a spacious area of around 80 square meters. All these ground floor spaces offer suitable venues for organizing various activities and events. The ground floor also contains several storage areas and multiple toilet facilities. Behind the bar, there is the private section of the building, consisting of a hallway, a kitchen, and the staircase leading to the upper floor.

The first floor is accessible via the staircase from the private section on the ground floor. The landing on this floor provides access to the living room, a bedroom, and the bathroom. The bathroom is fully fitted and includes a bathtub, a toilet, a washbasin, and a shower cabin. The landing itself features considerable built-in cupboard and storage space. From the living room, a third bedroom can be reached. Adjacent to this bedroom is an additional storage room that has water and drainage connections, which could potentially be used for laundry facilities or as a utility area. On the right side of the landing, a small staircase of about three steps leads to the right section of this floor. Here, there is another bedroom, a hallway, and a second landing. From this second landing, a staircase leads down to the ground floor, emerging in the right side room. This particular layout feature means that the upper floor can be used in multiple ways, or potentially separated into distinct sections if desired.

The outdoor space consists of a spacious backyard that is largely paved. This area offers various possibilities for utilization, such as creating an attractive courtyard, an outdoor terrace for patrons, or simply a private outdoor space for relaxation. The property also includes an attached wooden shed and an attached brick garage with capacity for one vehicle. Public parking is available in the vicinity.

The total living area of the property is 185 square meters. In addition to this, there is 220 square meters of other indoor space, which primarily comprises the hospitality areas on the ground floor. The total volume of the building is 608 cubic meters. The plot covers 537 square meters and consists of three separate cadastral parcels, all held in full ownership. The property is classified as a terraced house functioning as a business or service residence, containing six rooms in total, of which three are bedrooms. There is one bathroom and two separate toilets.

The commercial inventory present in the building can be taken over by arrangement, with the purchase price to be negotiated separately. The energy label for the property was not available at the time of listing.

This property could appeal to entrepreneurs seeking a hospitality venue, individuals looking for a combination of living and working spaces, or organizations requiring a multifunctional gathering place. The existing layout with multiple separate rooms, each with distinct character and purpose, provides flexibility in how the building can be used. The presence of two separate staircases to the upper floor adds to this flexibility, as it allows for potential separation of the residential and commercial areas if desired.

The village setting and central location within Sas van Gent mean that the property is positioned within a residential community, which can provide a stable customer base for a hospitality operation. At the same time, the quiet road location helps ensure that the residential aspects of the property are not unduly disturbed by traffic or noise from main roads.

Given the age of the building from 1885, prospective buyers may wish to investigate the structural condition and any heritage considerations that might apply. The relatively recent installation of the central heating boiler in 2022 indicates that some modernization has been carried out. However, a thorough inspection would be advisable to assess the overall condition of the property and identify any works that might be required.

The asking price per square meter of living space is approximately 2,135 euros. When considering the total usable floor area including the commercial spaces, the price per square meter would be lower. The property is offered with acceptance in consultation, providing some flexibility regarding the timing of the transfer.
