Key Features
Description
This ground floor apartment is situated at Oude Pastoriestraat 1 in the village of Enter, located in the municipality of Wierden in the province of Overijssel. The property is positioned at the Dorpsplein, which serves as the central gathering point of the village, making this a conveniently located home with amenities within walking distance.
The apartment is housed within a characteristic building dating from 1940. Buildings from this era often feature solid construction and have architectural elements that give them a distinctive appearance. The listing describes the building as "beeldbepalend," meaning it is a structure that helps define the character of the streetscape in this part of Enter.
The living area of the apartment measures 60 square meters, while the gross floor area is 69 square meters, which includes the external storage space. The volume of the property is 196 cubic meters. These figures indicate a compact but well-proportioned living space suitable for one or two residents.
Access to the apartment is through a central entrance hall that is shared with the two apartments on the upper floors. This hall contains the meter closets and the staircase leading to the upper level apartments. From this shared space, you enter the private area of the ground floor apartment.
The living room features a PVC floor laid in a herringbone pattern. Herringbone flooring is a classic pattern that adds visual interest to a room while being practical and easy to maintain. The living room provides a comfortable space for relaxation and daily living.
Connected to the living room is the kitchen, which was installed in 2021. This relatively recent installation means the kitchen fixtures and cabinetry are modern and in good condition. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop with an integrated extractor hood, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and an oven. The kitchen also incorporates an eating area or bar, which is a practical use of space in a compact apartment layout.
Located in the central section of the apartment are the bathroom facilities. The bathroom was updated in 2023 and includes a shower and a washbasin with a vanity unit. Adjacent to the bathroom is a separate toilet room. Having the toilet separate from the bathroom is a practical feature that allows multiple residents to use the facilities simultaneously.
The apartment contains two bedrooms as indicated in the listing. The main bedroom is described as spacious and includes a built-in wardrobe, providing valuable storage space without the need for additional furniture. Built-in wardrobes are an efficient use of space in smaller apartments.
The second room is located at the rear of the apartment and can serve multiple purposes. The listing suggests it can function as either an additional bedroom or a workspace. This flexibility is beneficial for residents who may need a home office or who occasionally host overnight guests. This room also contains the connections for a washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry facilities conveniently located within the living space.
From this rear room, there is access to a communal outdoor area at the back of the building where the storage units are located. The apartment has an external storage space measuring 2 square meters, which is useful for storing items such as bicycles, garden furniture, or seasonal decorations.
At the front of the apartment, there is a small terrace measuring 1 square meter. While modest in size, this outdoor space provides a spot to sit outside during warmer months, perhaps with a small chair and a potted plant.
Regarding energy efficiency, the apartment has an E energy label. On the Dutch energy label scale, which runs from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), an E rating indicates that there is room for improvement in terms of insulation and energy efficiency. The listing mentions partial double glazing, suggesting that some windows have been upgraded with insulated glass while others may still have single panes. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler (CV-ketel), though the specific make, model, and age of the boiler are not mentioned in the listing.
The property is part of a Homeowners Association (VvE). The monthly service costs are 44.35 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. Building insurance is in place. However, the listing notes that there is no reserve fund and no maintenance plan. The absence of a reserve fund means that future major maintenance expenses may require additional contributions from the apartment owners when such work becomes necessary. Potential buyers may wish to inquire about the condition of the building's exterior, roof, and other common elements to understand any upcoming maintenance needs.
Parking is available in the immediate vicinity at no cost, which is a practical advantage for residents who own a vehicle.
The asking price is 299,500 euros, which is offered on a costs koper basis, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer tax, notary fees, and any other transaction costs. The price per square meter of living space is approximately 4,992 euros. The purchase agreement will include a provision for a 10 percent security deposit or bank guarantee, which is standard practice in Dutch real estate transactions.
The property is offered with full ownership (volle eigendom) and the acceptance date is to be determined through consultation between buyer and seller.
This apartment presents itself as a move-in ready home in a central village location, suitable for first-time buyers or those seeking a compact and manageable living space. The recent updates to the kitchen and bathroom, combined with the character of the building and the convenient location near the village square, are notable features of this property.
