Spacious Bungalow with Large Garden and Pond Terrace in Leerdam

This distinctive property located at Populierstraat 1-A in Leerdam presents a unique living opportunity. Originally constructed in 1961 as an aula, the building was transformed starting in 1993 into a spacious and light filled residence. The conversion has resulted in a home that offers considerable interior volume measuring 709 cubic metres across 149 square metres of living space, all situated on a generous plot of 838 square metres.

The entrance of the property immediately sets the tone with its slate flooring that provides both a robust and warm impression. A wardrobe area is conveniently positioned near the entrance, and from here a hallway leads to the various rooms of the home. A practical storage cupboard is located adjacent to the entrance for everyday items.

The living room stands out for its exceptional spaciousness and natural light. Large and tall window frames have been incorporated into the design, creating an impressive visual connection with the garden. The sitting area has been arranged around a wood burning stove, which adds warmth and atmosphere to the space. There is ample room for a generous dining area within the living room. Doors that open fully provide direct access to one of the outdoor terraces, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property with views overlooking Populierstraat. It features a practical layout and is equipped with a sink with mixer tap, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, gas hob, and built in extractor hood. A compact kitchen table offers a pleasant spot to sit while maintaining a view of the street. The kitchen also contains a sizeable storage cupboard where the central heating installation is housed.

Adjacent to the kitchen lies a substantial utility room that serves as a valuable addition to the household. This space contains an additional unit with sink and mixer tap, extra storage capacity, and the connections for washing appliances. A rear door provides access to the outside, and this area also accommodates the second toilet and the meter cupboard.

A dedicated study provides a quiet environment for working or studying, benefitting from the same pleasant views towards the outside that characterise much of this home.

The sleeping accommodation includes a bedroom situated on the garden side which is notably spacious and benefits from high windows that admit plenty of daylight. Two further bedrooms offer flexibility in their use, being suitable as sleeping quarters, work spaces, or hobby rooms as required by the occupants.

The bathroom has been designed on a generous scale and is comprehensively appointed with a whirlpool bath, walk in shower, and a double vanity unit with cabinet. A separate toilet is located adjacent to the bathroom for convenience.

Access to the attic storage area is gained via a loft ladder from the hallway. This space has a height of 1.54 metres which precludes standing upright, yet it provides considerable volume for the storage of possessions and seasonal items.

The outdoor areas of this property are a particular highlight. The garden surrounds the residence and has been thoughtfully landscaped with varied planting that creates visual interest throughout the seasons. Multiple terraces have been created to ensure that occupants can always find a suitable spot, whether seeking sunshine or preferring a sheltered location.

A distinctive feature of the garden is the terrace positioned alongside a pond, offering a tranquil setting for relaxation and enjoyment of the natural surroundings. The garden has a mature character with diverse trees and shrubs that provide privacy from neighbouring properties.

Practical outdoor facilities include a double garage that was constructed in 2023, offering secure parking for vehicles or space for hobbies and additional storage. A covered parking area is situated just outside the gate, and the property also benefits from a dedicated wood storage area and an overkapping (canopy structure) that completes the outdoor amenities.

The side garden specifically measures 323 square metres with dimensions of 19 metres in depth and 17 metres in width.

This property holds an energy label C rating. The heating system comprises a central heating boiler supplemented by the wood burning stove in the living room.

The asking price is 750,000 euros payable costs koper (buyer responsible for transfer costs). This equates to approximately 5,034 euros per square metre of living space.
