Description
Situated in the vibrant and touristic heart of Valkenburg, this well maintained and multifunctional property offers a unique opportunity at Plenkertstraat 5-5A. The object combines a commercial space on the ground floor with an independent upstairs apartment spanning the first and second floors. This combination presents a prime chance for entrepreneurs, investors, or individuals seeking to combine living and working in a highly desirable location near the historic center of the city.
The commercial section is located on the ground floor and is currently set up as a hospitality space. This multifunctional area offers flexibility for various business purposes. The layout includes a partially separated area created by a removable partition wall, allowing for an adaptable configuration depending on the specific needs of the business. Toward the rear of the commercial space, there are toilet facilities for the use of staff or visitors. A significant recent improvement to the property is the installation of a new extraction system. This modern installation is specifically designed to handle the extraction of cooking vapors, making the space immediately suitable for food and beverage-related enterprises. The ground floor provides a solid foundation for business operations in a high traffic area.
Beneath the commercial space, in the souterrain, there is a practical storage area with a surface area of approximately 5 square meters. This additional space is highly valuable for a commercial enterprise, providing secure storage for inventory, supplies, or equipment without encroaching on the primary sales or service floor.
The residential component of the property is an independent upstairs apartment. It features its own entrance located on the ground floor, ensuring privacy and separation from the commercial activities below. This design allows for a distinct living environment that feels separate from the workplace. The apartment is distributed over two floors, offering a logical and efficient layout.
The first floor of the apartment houses the living room which is arranged with an open kitchen. This open plan design creates a spacious feel and facilitates modern living. From this level, there is access to a roof terrace, providing outdoor space for relaxation or dining. The kitchen is equipped with an induction cooking plate, an oven, an extractor fan, and a refrigerator that includes a freezer compartment. These appliances ensure the kitchen is fully functional for daily use.
Moving to the second floor, the layout continues with a dedicated sleeping area in the form of a bedroom. This floor also contains the bathroom, which is fitted with a bathtub, a toilet, and a washbasin. The presence of a bathtub adds a touch of comfort to the residential quarters. The separation of the living and sleeping areas across two floors enhances the sense of space and privacy within the apartment.
A key technical feature of this property is the autonomy between the commercial unit and the residential apartment. Both the house number 5 and the suffix 5A possess their own central heating installations (cv-installaties) and their own connections for gas, water, and electricity. This separation is a major advantage as it allows for independent metering and utility management. It facilitates the possibility of renting out the apartment separately from the commercial space or simply keeping the operational costs distinct.
The location of Plenkertstraat 5-5A is one of its strongest assets. Plenkertstraat is a well known approach street leading directly to the center of Valkenburg. Being in the central area means that major tourist attractions are within a very short distance. The Cauberg, famous for cycling and motorsports, the Municipal Caves (Gemeentegrot), and the Velvet Caves (Fluweelengrot) are all nearby. These landmarks draw a constant stream of visitors to the area, ensuring a lively atmosphere and a consistent flow of potential customers for a ground floor business.
The immediate vicinity is characterized by a diverse mix of hospitality establishments, retail shops, and hotels. This dense concentration of businesses creates a dynamic environment with a high volume of foot traffic. For a commercial operator, this location offers excellent visibility and exposure to both tourists and locals.
Accessibility to the property is excellent. The site is well connected via the N590 and the A79 highway, making it easy to reach by car from directions such as Maastricht and Heerlen. For those using public transport, Valkenburg train station is approximately a 10 minute walk away. Additionally, there are several bus stops in the direct vicinity, further enhancing the connectivity of the location.
In terms of object information, the property was built in 1930 according to the BAG Viewer. The total usable area is approximately 115 square meters, situated on a plot of 89 square meters. The destination plan designation is Centrum, which is appropriate for the mixed commercial and residential use.
