Character Family Home in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht Centre with Renovation Potential
Key Features
Description
Located in the old centre of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, this family home on Prins Hendrikstraat presents an opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal living space. The property was built in 1940 and retains the character of its era while offering a solid foundation for renovation and modernization according to personal preferences and contemporary standards.
The house has a total living area of 100 square metres spread across three floors, situated on a freehold plot measuring 147 square metres. The roof is a traditional gable roof covered with roof tiles, which is typical for homes of this period in the region.
Upon entering the property through the front door, you step into the hallway on the ground floor. This hall provides access to the meter cupboard, a partially tiled toilet room fitted with a duoblock toilet, and the staircase leading to the first floor. The hallway serves as the central circulation space connecting the various ground floor areas.
The living room is positioned at the front of the house and features a bay window, which adds character to the facade and allows natural light to enter the room. Beneath the staircase, there is a cellar cupboard that provides useful storage space. The floor in the living area is finished with laminate flooring, offering a practical and relatively low-maintenance surface.
The kitchen is situated at the rear of the ground floor and is arranged in an L-shaped configuration. It includes a four-burner gas hob and an oven. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the backyard, making it convenient for outdoor dining or simply moving between indoor and outdoor spaces during warmer months.
The first floor is accessed via the staircase in the hallway and opens onto a landing that provides access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. The front bedroom measures 3.54 by 2.76 metres and includes built-in wardrobe space, offering practical storage without encroaching on the room's usable area. The rear bedroom is slightly smaller at 2.70 by 2.76 metres and also features built-in wardrobe space. Both bedrooms benefit from fixed storage solutions.
The bathroom on this floor measures 2.55 by 1.90 metres and is equipped with a combination bathtub with shower facility and a vanity unit with washbasin. This arrangement provides the essential bathroom amenities for a family household.
The second floor is reached via a continuation of the staircase and features a landing with a dormer window. This floor houses the third bedroom, which measures 2.98 by 2.82 metres, extending to 3.90 metres at one point, likely due to the dormer window construction. This bedroom also includes a dormer window, which adds headroom and natural light to the space. Behind the knee walls, there is additional storage space that can be used for seasonal items or personal belongings. The central heating combination boiler, a Vaillant model from 2013, is installed on this floor and is included in the sale as it is owned by the current proprietor.
The backyard is a notable feature of this property. It extends approximately 14 metres in depth and has a width of 4.90 metres, resulting in a total area of 69 square metres. The garden is oriented towards the southwest, which means it receives ample sunlight throughout the afternoon and into the evening during the summer months. A section of the garden immediately adjacent to the house is covered, providing a sheltered outdoor area that can be used regardless of weather conditions. The garden also includes a freestanding wooden shed for storing garden tools, bicycles, or other outdoor equipment. Access to the backyard is possible via a rear path.
The property is located in a central position within Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. Shopping centre De Schoof and various hospitality establishments are within walking distance, offering convenient access to daily necessities and leisure options. The immediate surroundings are described as a quiet road within a residential area, while still being part of the town centre. The location also benefits from proximity to main roads and public transport connections.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an E energy label. The windows feature partial double glazing, and the electrical installation consists of five circuit groups. These aspects indicate that there is room for improvement in terms of insulation and energy performance, which is consistent with the property's age and the stated need for modernization.
The house is offered at an asking price of 335,000 euros, which works out to 3,350 euros per square metre of living space. The asking price is stated as costs koper, meaning that the buyer is responsible for the standard property transfer costs such as notary fees and transfer tax. The property is being offered with acceptance in consultation, allowing for flexibility regarding the timing of the handover.
This terraced house represents a renovation project for those who wish to put their own stamp on a property in a central and convenient location. The basic structure and layout are in place, including three bedrooms across three floors, a functional kitchen and bathroom, and a pleasant southwest-facing garden. The work required would primarily relate to updating the interior finishes, potentially improving insulation and energy efficiency, and modernizing the electrical and possibly plumbing systems to current standards.
The property has been viewed over three thousand times on the listing platform, indicating significant interest from potential buyers. At the time of this listing, the status shows as sold under reservation, suggesting that a buyer has been found subject to certain conditions being met.
For buyers seeking a home with character in a central village location, with the freedom to design and finish the interior to their own specifications, this property on Prins Hendrikstraat offers a viable starting point within the established and accessible community of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht.
